Oh, I did have something good happen yesterday. I was kind of bitter because the table price online and in the store was $50 more than the last time I'd looked at it, but still a good price. When I got to the checkout, it was the original price. woo hoo!
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

Last numbers I saw on Myanmar were 13,000. How terrifying. Wait--Burma? Myanmar? Is there a hard and fast right answer?
Depends who you ask. Having a Burmese woman in my family, I make it a point to say Burma.
From Wikipedia:
On 18 June 1989, the military junta passed the 'Adaptation of Expressions Law' that officially changed the English version of the country's name from Burma to Myanmar, and changed the English versions of many place names in the country along with it, such as its former capital city from Rangoon to Yangon (which represents its pronunciation more accurately in Burmese though not in Arakanese). This prompted one scholar to coin the term 'Myanmarification' to refer to the top-down programme of political and cultural reform that led to and followed in the wake of this renaming. This decision has, however, not been subject to independent legislation and no national referendum was held to decide this change by the people[...]
The renaming proved to be politically controversial. Opposition groups continue to use the name "Burma," since they do not recognize the legitimacy of the ruling military government nor its authority to rename the country in English. This name change was recognized by the United Nations, China, India, Singapore, Thailand, Lao, Vietnam, Bangladesh, ASEAN, and Russia. However it was not recognized by many western governments such as the United States, Australia, Canada or the United Kingdom, which continue to use "Burma," while the European Union uses "Burma/Myanmar" as an alternative.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm tired, but we have dance practice tonight and I can't bag it. (We have a gig Friday and G and I are on the roster for it.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Obviously this is slanted, but do you think that you'd get all the way through writing and web publishing an article about this as an innovative means of self-promotion without any pause at all?
If you can, does that say something positive about you?

Serially before my mind goes off in a totally different direction:
Very sweet story about a disabled dolphin, and from a link off that page a sad story about Liz Hurley.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
If you have bifocals, does that change the recommendation?
I think that might be why mine should be lower--I have progressive lenses, and having the monitor at correct ergo height is less useful vision wise.

Scary calculator is all I'm saying. Once I'm done paying off work, I might actually be able to afford to save more. But whoa. That's a big number.

I'm so glad that the cats will never need to go to college.

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
Will this useless day never end?
NO! It just won't! And I'm one paper shy of completing this task and it's just messing with me!
Just wanna go home and have supper. Screw the plumber's tape. Just want to plant my ass on the couch and eat a cookie!!!
