Oh dear. Am so tired. The weekend is catching up with me.
I'll be in my bunk.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kat, all this reminds me that I think I broke your heart rate monitor by having the battery replaced--I'll replace it for you if you remind me what model it was.
Which is now putting me in mind of a half-remembered fact from documentary watching over the weekend. If you were to travel to another point on the planet by means of drilling a hole through the earth to that second point and dropping through the hole--the length of your trip is constant, even if the length of the hole varies. I mean, it'd make sense for the journeys that went right through the centre of the earth, but it also holds for a hold drilled between LA and NY.
And the time isn't that long--twenty two or forty two minutes, I think. We should get right on that. You'd fall, speeding up until you reached the halfway point, and then decelerating to a complete stop at the opposite surface. At which point you should probably get out quickly before you fall back, forever and ever.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sleepy, my shoulder hurts and it's too cold here. Must be Monday.

Whoa. Did Jilli see this?
It's bizarre to me that the poll question is: Do you know anyone who dresses goth?
I mean. That's the poll question?

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
In very exciting (but only to me) news. I get to go to the University of Washington at University of Oregon home opener football game this year. Yay!
My brother has season tickets, but will be in Europe and says I can have his tickets.

28% of responders say no, so maybe it did bear asking.

Yep. I've been following that news story, and I'm REALLY GLAD the attackers are being sent away for life.
It's bizarre to me that the poll question is: Do you know anyone who dresses goth?
That kinda made me tilt my head quizzically, but I know there are lots of people out there who've never met a goth.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
WTF is WRONG with people?!?
And WTF is wrong with our society that we keep on ignoring the signs of obvious wrongness?
grrr.
