Yes, I think Mike's Lemonade is roughly equivalent to a wine cooler, or possibly a beer.

I tried the word game, but I got to something between devil and dimes, and couldn't figure out any five letter words between those (turns out it was diced)

Maybe it's just too late at night for that. Though it's not that late (and it's Friday!), but somehow going dancing made it feel much later.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I have a sad new addiction: Word Sandwich, a game where you basically just guess a word. [link]

Damn, once I got the hang of it, that was maddeningly fun.

What's the point of the moving bar, though? It had me all tense, apparently for no reason.

You get a multiplier depending on how much time you take.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

This one is also wrong. The axis labels just make no sense. [link]

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

It's like they just grabbed for a song with numbers in the lyrics. I like this better because they're talking relationships. I like relationships.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

They really don't.

The person who keeps getting worked up over bad pie charts is funny though.

From CNN:

Windows also were shattered in the CNN.com newsroom, with staffers saying that there was a computer missing -- apparently sucked through one of the windows.

Freaky. But this is scary. At the Georgia Dome:

Both teams stopped and looked toward the Teflon-coated Fiberglas fabric roof, which is designed to flex slightly during high wind, but was rippling heavily in the storm, much like waves rolling toward the shore.

How cool would this be in Gud's backyard?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Very cool!

Ah, OK.

Off to work. Bah.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

The research station in Bahia de los Angeles (Baja Mexico) had a whale skeleton mounted in the side yard. Damn, but I wish I'd taken a picture of it -- I ran into camera trouble, and only got about 2 rolls out of the entire week, alas. Most amazing place I've ever been....

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Sitting here in my nightclothes about to watch "Legion of Superheroes". Kinda like being a kid again....
