Glory ,'The Killer In Me'
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.
Susan, that's a nice, elegant but workmanlike sword.
It's a standard French infantry officer's sword from 1803 or so. (My character is English, but he's also not its first owner.) And I liked it for the exact reason you describe--it's graceful and elegant-looking without being overly showy or otherwise impractical.
You guys are so smaht!
Meanwhile, my boss just asked if I'm secretly getting married this weekend, because my nails are so fancy.
You would invite us if you were getting married, right?
My mom is going to freak - Kevorkian Plans Congressional Run [link] She thinks he is the devil on earth.
The air vent that is blowing directly down on my cube seriously needs to stop now.
Like iron ore is some compound containing iron that you have to chemically extract the iron from.
Precisely. Which is why the Iron Age (around 1200 BC) was even later than the Bronze Age, ALTHOUGH there was some free meteoric iron, which is why some Egyptians had iron daggers around 3000 BC which were known as "Daggers from Heaven." Apparently.
So yes, metals found free as -t described include gold, copper, tin, silver, and meteoric iron, versus ores, which, er,
Ore minerals are generally oxides, sulfides, silicates, or "native" metals (such as native copper) that are not commonly concentrated in the Earth's crust or "noble" metals (not usually forming compounds) such as gold. The ores must be processed to extract the metals of interest from the waste rock and from the ore minerals.
says Wikipedia. Honestly, I know nothing, but the little bit I do know seems cool! I always thought "iron ore" meant, like, there was a vein of pure iron sort of threading through the ground, but it actually means some kind of oxide mixed with "gangue" -- rock, clay, sand -- from which you have to gradually and with some difficulty extract first the ore and THEN the iron!
I should stop reading news and get back to work. But, Mary Ann is a stoner. [link] eta: she looks damn good for 69 - must be the pot

But of course.

I did my nails this weekend, and everyone thought I had a hot date.
She thinks he is the devil on earth.
So Congress is where he belongs.

My first thought when I saw that yesterday was that she had done much better in the mug shot department than most arrested celebrities.
What's especially funny to me is that as soon as I got up at the salon, I fucked up the polish on two of the nails, but decided to leave it rather than risk my own sloppy job, and it's white-ish polish, so it's not really that noticeable, I figured -- and I guess I was right?
