Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

Ideas for things to do with green tomatoes besides fry 'em? Or, recipes for fried green tomatoes?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Have not watched any of the debates. Then again, I know who I'm voting for.

My University is desperately searching for someone like Nilly. We’re not the only ones. Nilly's area of research is the hottest thing in interdisciplinary science right now and everyone is competeting for new faculty who know how to do it. Our ad:

The Complex Systems group currently has 10 faculty members with strong ties to other units at in the University that pursue research in the field of Complex Systems, including Cognitive Science, Psychology, Physics, the Biocomplexity Institute, and the School of Library and Information Science.

The research sub-areas in the group include complex networks, artificial life and robotics, computational intelligence, bio-inspired computing, computational biology and epidemiology, large scale data modeling and simulation, and Web applications. We are particularly interested in strengthening our emphasis on modeling the dynamics of complex information networks, social networks and media, and their broad societal implications.

I read somewhere (one of the Little House on the Prairie books, maybe) that you could use them to make something like an apple pie. I've never tried it, myself, but Cooks.com has some recipes.

mr. flea does mathematical/computer modeling of complex systems, but he works with built (water distribution network) and natural environments. Clearly environmental systems modeling is not as cool! Though I think the math and programming is a lot alike.

One of my foodie/canning-crazy friends has been making green tomato & apple chutney. She also is experimenting with green tomato & apple pie.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Rick's making me think PhD thoughts. Bad Rick!

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

Going bananas waiting for Agent Kate feedback on Sam.

Also, coming down with a cough. And maybe a fever.

So Mister Kitty is in the hospital for the night. I feel good about this. They want to monitor him and get his system all balanced out. They're going to put him on fluids and antibios and keep up with the meds he was on. Tomorrow, more tests (yay$$$) but if like the last time, if we can just get him on the mend...

FIngers crossed.

Now I have to do something about dinner.

Oh, and I missed the FedEx guy. Knew that would happen.
