My newest I don't have time for this but I want to do it anyway, I just submitted measurements and ideas to the elfa people at the container store to redo one of my hall closets.

I have this deep, 33" deep, closet that is all just shelves. The deep shelves just get messy, so I am thinking of putting in an L shape of 12" - 14" deep shelves, then a hanging bar that will allow for 18" of long coats, and one shelf across the top for all the storage space to the ceiling - then a bar of hooks on the backside of the door for bags.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Oh, my, GOD you guys. I went to the first trivia night I've been to in almost five years. The Big Quiz Thing, [link] which I'd always heard of as the top NY bar trivia night, and as such, been wary of-- sure, I was on a top team on A2, but this is the city with 8 million residents, most of whom are in publishing. This is the big one. I thought we might get middle of the pack. Our team of five ladies-- who usually get middle of the pack-- TIED FOR THIRD! And guess who was credited with our stunning placement? THIS GUY! I carried the team to third place in a highly competitive trivia field! I am drunk, but also, super-impressed with myself, and carrying two random books-as-prizes. YAY ME!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Navy launches U.S.S. Independence, first of new class of weapons-bristling speedster trimarans

It looks sorta' scifi-ish, like the type of ship Jabba the Hutt would have if he lived on a planet with oceans.

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

My great-aunt Millie used to steal silverware and salt and pepper shakers from restaurants. Family dinners at her house, nobody had matching silver.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Yay bon bon!

My day job situation is so fcuked up right now (my boss is eliminated and I will be doing her job and mine with no title change or extra money) that I want to shoot myself. Weirdly, the theatre job is going unexpected well, but I could use some ma, because I really need to get a new dayjob!

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

Humus and soy crips. What a culinary world in which Kat lives.

What comes after bitter? I mean, on a scale that goes naive, worldly, jaded, bitter...what comes next? And are there superpowers? Cash prizes? I want to know what I have to look forward to.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

tommy, you should some of the Future Cruiser proposals floating around. Rail guns, missile cells in the auxiliary hulls, a flight deck for 12-18 V/STOL drones for air cover and ground attack, along with carrying two autonomous submersibles to provide to prevent enemy submarines from approaching the cruiser. With hyper-cavitating torpedoes, of course...
