this is so sweetly geeky but it still doesn't say who first decided that cornstarch and water was oobleck.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Raiders of the Lost Ark. Wow. Been a LOOONG time since I've watched it. I forgot most of the beginning. I'm guessing I caught it on cable a bunch of times already in progress.
Off to bed.... I think.... even tho this stack of DVD's are calling to me!

ChiKat, I'm so glad you and the kitty got out of the fire. EEK!
The down side of being on prednisone? I am nowhere near sleepy and it is 2am (my time). And, I expect that by Sunday I will want to eat my own arm off.
Ah, yes. The joys. In my experience, it's best to take the prednisone first thing in the morning. Also, let yourself snack. Just give in. I know it's frustrating, but I've actually found that if I let myself give in to the cravings, they don't last as long.
Timelies, all! In Birmingham. Had a fairly lovely evening with the extended family. My cousin's soon-to-be wife is a doll. I couldn't be happier for the two of them!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
In third grade or so, I used up a whole box of cornstarch doing some experiments on that sort of stuff from some kids' science activity book. (And also made a mess of the kitchen. But it was cool!)

Houston, we have a draft of section 2! This is quite amazing, since I've struggled with it for WEEKS. I'm SO THRILLED. Now to start on the conclusion section. WOOT!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
The frakking gods are watching me and giggling today. After the fire Wednesday? After not being able to sleep last night due to the evil prednisone? After finally falling asleep around 6:30?
The frakking fire alarm goes off again at 8:20. I was sound asleep. Once I realized what was going on, I threw on some clothes, went to the bathroom (sorry, but some things can't wait), heard some guys in the hallway and went out to see if I really needed to evacuate before I tried to pry the very scared kitty out and shove him in his carrier again.
Turns out, no. They were inspecting the damage from Wednesday and somehow set off the alarms. Yay, no more fire! Boo, I am now wide awake. Again.
I think I'm going to go somewhere for some breakfast and then come home and do laundry. Maybe I can nap some this afternoon.
vw, YAY you on your paper!!

Our wings are not tired.
My goodness, ChiKat! I would imagine the last thing you needed was to hear a fire alarm. I hope you get a chance to rest later.
Go vw!!
I'm fighting with my son. Parenting sucks.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Houston, we have a draft of section 2!
Yay, VW! Sounds like scrapping the pages you had and starting fresh was definitely the right way to go.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Daniel, even if the cars are off the street, they have to be licensed? Ugh. Good luck selling the caprice.
Yay for the draft, vw!
I'm considering getting arcrylic nails for a bit to curtail my nailbiting habit. It's gotten pretty bad and my nails look hideous. Usually, if I get acrylics for a month or two, then have them removed, I can grow my own nails out without biting.
