Random question of the day: anyone else ever developed a crush on a historical figure
I kind of fell in love with Diana, Lady Crosbie from her portrait at the Huntington. She has the most wonderful smile and eyes.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I've also had crushes many a fictional character. I have friends that I swear are single because no men measured up to Travis McGee or Francis Crawford of Lymond.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Is there a math or technical term when you're not using percent? - i.e. you're using numbers between zero and one to specify a fraction of something, rather than (a number zero through 100) followed by "percent"?
The only thing I can think of is "decimal" or fraction in decimal notation

I had a picture of young Laurence Olivier up in my locker in High School. [link]

But in Philadelphia Story he is, IMO, out-hotted by Jimmy Stewart.
SO. Very. True. Hence the reason I bought the jimmy stewart stamps a few weeks ago.
My historical crush is on John Adams. Based, partially, on his letters to and from Abigail. Also, I just feel like he was the right mind for a fledgling republic. But I'm a nerd.

The universe has partially smiled upon me and I have childcare! Conveniently, it's about a block or so away from where Grace will be living.

Hooray, Kat!

shrift! Frank Iero is going to be on the next episode of LA Ink. Apparently the flakey tattoo artist stands him up for several hours. Does he stomp off in a huff? Does he sit around bored? Nope - he helps move stuff around in their stock room.
Already have it programmed on the TiVo, but bless you for thinking of me! And as Jilli said, this is part of why I have such a gigantic crush on that little nerd.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That's great news, Kat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, Kat, that's fantastic.
