SF cold weather definitely feels "colder" than other places I've been. I think it's the dampness - the cold gets in deeper somehow.
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Re: Adolf Hitler's parents:I have to quote from the e-mail that got Keith Olbermann in so much trouble: Save oxygen. Kill yourself. Which seems to be what a self-respecting disabled Nazi might do anyway...nobody has any respect for tradition anymore.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's freaking cold here. I don't care if it's much colder other places. I'm not in other places.
Kat, I don't know the menu-can you give me some recs?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Aryan--Arianne: it's pretty if it's spelled right.
Yeah, see if they'd gone with Arianne Nashun there wouldn't have been a problem. But I guess they wanted a problem.
Hmmm, Adele Phietler?

Ann, that's a ferret.
On the other hand, can you imagine how those kids are going to rebel against their parents? Guess Who's Coming to Dinner will have nothing on that family....

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

When Adolf starts to rebel, he'll change his name to Winston Roosevelt.
eta: Or Stalingrad Bunker.

It's possible that I should do something today other than watching clips of Top Gear on YouTube.
I'm still giggling over last week's BBCA broadcast of their police car challenge, especially James May's use of paint gun nozzles to obscure the baddies' windshield, which actually worked...until BadGuy!Stig turned on the wipers.
Can I just say that I really hate my eye insurance division of BCBS? The idiots that work there insist on telling my doctor that I only get a percentage off of the exam cost when I know damn well I only have a copay of $20. They did this last year, and sure enough, this year as well. Luckily, the receptionist found someone who knew the correct info and then proceeded to tell her to make sure her co-workers are equally well-informed.
Also, they told her that I had to wait until 12/18 to be past the year wait in between appointments, but my last checkup was on 12/15/07, which means that their "year" is actually 368 days. WTF?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Juliana, I'm sorry for your loss. Peace and comfort to you and your family.
I boggle at people, really. Pretty continually. Some boggles are nice, some are mean. And some are just dumb. Or dumb and mean. Can we have another designation for the dumb and mean besides "people"? Maybe they're just "pll", not full-fledged people, like with morals and self-respect and ethics and shit.
I'm just going to sit over there in the corner and mutter irritably. Don't mind me.

For those of us who are or who are married to people who are on disability, I say a mild "hey."
No offense to people on disability, just a silly pun flavored by a little commentary on right-wing self-reliance types who live off of the public's largesse.

Their world orbits slower than our world.
