'Dirty Girls'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
In awesome SF news - does any localista want to go with me to the Mechanicrawl happening this Saturday? It looks to be made entirely of awesome and gears.
I've been reading about this for a while - I'd totally go if I was still in SF. Triple-expansion reciprocating steam engine! Electro-mechanical analog torpedo fire-control computer!
From the Rove story:
Rove's lawyer cited a letter from the Justice Department saying Rove is "constitutionally immune from compelled congressional testimony."
Interesting, as I was unaware that even the President himself could claim to be immune to formal summons to appear before Congress. I hope this goes to criminal prosecution, with a sentencing date of January 10.
Awesome customized hearse: [link]
A blogger sez:
In his gallery there are several dozen gems, especially the incredible Kargoyle. It's a hearse that's been chopped, lowered, painted purple, and most appropriately, it was given suicide doors.
We just had a going away party, and why god why did they have queso and chips?!? Now I am busting out of my clothes. And I still have to go to dinner with coworkers!
My DH is AWESOME, Part 195: When I was in high school, I worked near an art store. they had a collection of Polish Cyrk poster, which I fell in love with and which were way too expensive for me. I used to go over there on a regular basis just to look at them.
The Polish Goverment hired artists to design posters for the State Circus, posters which had to be metaphorical rather than straighforward--and most of them are amazing. Here's some info about them. [link] I have always wanted one and have mentioned them to the DH and we looked at sites periodically for the last few years.
Guess what I am getting for my birthday? This one, which has long been one of my faves: [link]
That's such a cool thing -- and an awesome poster. Also an awesome DH, but we knew that!

Good job, Scrappy's DH!
How can I be hungry??? I had a HUGE Whole Foods salad bar salad. HUGE!
GOOD DH! I've liked those posters for a long time.
Those are awesome, Scrappy, and I particularly like yours.
