Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

Natter 54: Right here, dammit.  

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This is awesome, and very pretty: [link]

In Antarctica (if you know where to look) you will find these strange formations that look like giant waves frozen in place. Actually, these beautiful formations are caused by glaciers and earthquakes. Over time, snow compacts into a single frozen mass and the increasing pressure squeezes all of the air out of the ice. Since blue is the only color of the spectrum that air-free ice reflects, that is where the color comes from.

My brother took his son to the new Transformers film twice. He threw a barbeque attended by his grad school friends in which they all ended up in the kid's room, trying to transform the kid's transformers. (Quite funny to watch their frustration and them needing to get pointers from a 4 year old.)

That's it. I'm breeding my dog with a poodle right now. Right. Now.

If only Bush had listened to Gen. Petraeus's boss....

Fallon told Petraeus that he considered him to be "an ass-kissing little chickenshit" and added, "I hate people like that", the sources say. That remark reportedly came after Petraeus began the meeting by making remarks that Fallon interpreted as trying to ingratiate himself with a superior.

What makes you think he didn't? Is that exactly the kind of person Bush likes to have around?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

well today's little outing into inner Queens (Ozone Park) convinced me that I will never live further out than I am now, not without a spouse with decent income and a car.

Good point.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What if the spouse had a root, msbelle?

I'm on day #2 of "Leave the house? You crazy? This hurts." I've sent an email off to my GP asking how I'm supposed to be coping with it, since I'm doing such a crap job. I wish my friend were here so I could get his help dealing, but is wishes were horses beggars would ride.

Fallon told Petraeus that he considered him to be "an ass-kissing little chickenshit"

Don't hold back - tell him how you REALLY feel.

Congrats, Miracleman. Hope Aimee's "many more" is an accurate prediction.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Here's hoping all of this year's hurricanes avoid our Gulf-istas.

Apparently once Humberto moves inland, it's either going to stall out over Mississippi and cause flooding, or else it's going to gradually move over the parts of central Alabama that are having their worst drought ever (when I was there last month they were ~15 inches short of normal rainfall on the year). Go Alabama, Humberto! Choose Alabama!
