Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

[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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Yay, Griffith Observatory! Please do not disillusion me by reporting that they are hell to work with, ND.
My time helping ND withe the one project... I thought they were cool. And it was a super cool place to work at too, but that might be the geek in me.

Our wings are not tired

On the whole Griffith has been very good to work with.

Excellent! I'll check it out...and the Almay stuff. I'm weary of the trial and error badness of my recent choices.

Ah ha! A mystery is solved!

I'm watching my X-Files DVDs, the episode "Fallen Angel", wherein Scully is referred to as "the enigmatic Dr. Scully." It's Mulder who calls her that, the weird UFO investigator calls her "the enigmatic Agent Scully." So it's Mulder who thinks Dr. Scully makes a better conspiracy/thriller title than plain old Agent Scully. He's not wrong.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled job/makeup/cat/baseball/kid conversations

(hey, the people I hang out with, this sort of thing is good for hours [minutes] of discussion)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I just called someone up to make a job offer and after she put the phone down to go find her social security number I heard her singing, "I got hired! I got hired! I got hired!"

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

It was entirely predictable that the day I decided to explain to Annabel about how many innings are in a baseball game and how long it would be till the game was over and she could watch Little Bear, there would be an extra-inning game, huh?

ETA...and we go to the 11th!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

That's a good thing , Laga.

I'm not sure what I would have been when I was younger, but hardass is not a problem now. Maybe too much of one, but I'm not so sure you can be too much of one with pre-teens and teens. Mostly I deal with large groups at the library that don't necessarily know me. I tend to bark/snap when a rule is being broken, even in the midst of a pleasant conversation. I suspect some people think I am possessed.

T called tonight to tell me that the younger nephew got his finger caught in the car door today. He fractured the tip of his finger. Poor little guy.

Baseball can be weird and unpredictable. Everyone thought the Red Sox game was over tonight, including the players, until the ump decided the pitcher for the other team had balked and they had to get one more out.

Hil, what do you make of this site?

Mathworld? Incredibly useful quick reference. I use it all the time for when I can't remember an exact formula or definition and don't feel like trying to figure out which book it would be in.

I had a long day today. Two hours of getting up to Baltimore, then trapeze (yay!), then asthma attack (boo!). Then two hours of getting back to DC, then nap.

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

Any opinion on their software? I don't know enough about the profession, but I just can't work out what the Mathematics software does. Or how it does it.
