Oh, my word, Plei, your kid slays me [link]
It's only ten here and I'm about to do a faceplant onto the keyboard. I either have to get a second wind or just pack it in and go to bed. So very unexciting.
Oh, look at the pretties!

Um, Sue, don't you have a new job on Tuesday?
Well the snow probably won't last past tomorrow. My god, it better not!

Lily is a beautiful child and so camera-happy, thank goodness!
wow, I get hung up on stupid details.
Sound in space, Kat, sound in space.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, phew. I was afraid this was the beginning of Canadian Winter.
Kat, you don't want to know how much time I spend thinking about the financial situations of the characters on How I Met Your Mother.

Kat, I've lost touch of how many Regency romances I've flung at the wall for botching the dates of the Peninsular War, putting rifles in the hands of soldiers who would've carried muskets, calling Wellington Wellington before he was granted that title, etc.

eta: That was rueful agreement.
It's just funny to me how, depending on your field of experience, there are so many buttons. Given all that's available on google or whatever, just about everyone still gets basics horribly wrong, and not even in the pursuit of the narrative. Just...they don't think to ask, I guess.

And to add to that, what prompted my "sound in space" lament was that I recently saw a NASA produced video on the latest rocket. And they had sound in space. Everyone in the room started muttering.

I just read a book written by someone who lives in NYC, which was absolutely ridiculous wrt the city, and I don't understand it. It was stuff that had no real impact on the story, other than throwing me out of it.

You should hear me whenever there's anything about nuclear anything. It's physics, people, not voodoo. I like 24, but I had to stop watching it during the nuclear bomb plot. What with the yelling and the throwing things, my television was in danger.
