'Serenity'
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.
This past year I kissed girls, which is kind of a big deal for me, but not as big had it led to anything more.
I also cried a lot this year, but I think there will be a lot more crying before there's more kissing.
The next PM of Japan may be an Otaku: [link]
I just made a potato- cheese soup for dinner. I'll put together a salad to go with it. I wonder when DH will be home for dinner?
So an Otaku--kinda like an anorak, then?
I haven't been able to get my iChat to connect in 2 days. any ideas?
2. I am flying there TOMORROW. For your birthday.
You are, aren't you?
Wheee.
A state appeals court on Friday threw out the only remaining conviction against one of the black teenagers accused in the beating of a white schoolmate in the racially tense north Louisiana town of Jena.
It's something, at least.

Kissing can -- nay, SHOULD -- be an end unto itself.

You have NO idea how happy this question makes me. Chatty!co-worker and I, when we're being uber-geeky, mock ourselves by saying things like, "My anorak is so big, I can't put my arms down!" and so forth.
Aww, Tep, I was just watching this and thinking of you.
So. What have you done in the last year while Matilda went from born to one?
Well, there was that whole engagement and marriage in a totally foreign country thing. Bought some land. Oh, and I've lost about 13 kilos so far. Bloody sniffer dogs.
If the food is acidic (tomatoes are particularly bad), leaving food in cast iron causes big reactions with the acid in the food -- rust on your dinner and all the seasoning gone from your cast iron!
This may well be why the English and Americans believed tomatoes to be poisonous while they were being in with relish (or even in relish) in Southern Europe. England and America at the time favoured pewter plates, with which tomatoes would react, while in Italy or Spain they commonly used ceramic, IIRC.
We are very emotional creatures. Take away our feelings and we don't turn into Spock. Instead, we become pathologically indecisive and amoral. You can't separate cognition from emotion.
Isn't it cool? I love this. Therefore I am.
I want a robot maid! Where's my Rosie, I ask you??

Still no hot water. I got all hopeful when a van pulled up out front, but it's someone moving in.
Poor bastards.
