sara, thank you so much for sharing the details of this change. I love knowing what is happening with you -- the good and the sad.

Heh. I'm sharing because I CAN'T SHUT UP. I'd blog but am too used to this and lazy.
And if it bombs, well, that's gonna suck.

Miss L and her family initially disbelieve that Loki is the Tiger they "gave" (haha, one of them knows different) me cause he's so big. Then he starts acting like himself and they realize it is him. It's funny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Test yer spelling. I mess up on preferred spellings, especially those which ask me to choose based on side of the pond.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
One of my favorite ties.
I heartily approve of this tie! And Matilda totally looks like your sister!
I only got half of the spelling right!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I heartily approve of this tie!
It's Frank Lloyd Wright!
And Matilda totally looks like your sister!
My sister and my grandma were both very pretty so this could turn out okay.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think I just had a geekgasm here....
New Form of "Mobius" Carbon Predicted
"We've seen carbon nanotubes, buckyballs, and chickenwire. Now materials scientists have created a computer model of a Mobius strip fashioned from strips of graphene — a molecule that would have a single surface and only one edge. (Other groups have made Mobius-like organic molecules but never out of carbon sheets.) The model allows the researchers to determine the physical and chemical properties of the molecules and how these depend on the number of twists in the strip. The team say, for example, that 'Mobius carbon' should be stable to temperatures of at least 500 Kelvin (abstract). But the most exciting prediction is that strips with an odd number of half twists should have a dipole moment that would cause them to self-organize into a crystal. That implies that there's a new type of carbon made entirely of Mobius strips ready to be made by any chemists with a good supply of graphene (maybe these guys)."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ye gads, I'm so friggin' tired.
So the NYT article explained it for me, which helps, but oh the irony! When actually playing the game I seemed to have picked the car the first time roughly 3/4 of the time, so I was losing like crazy with their strategy.
