Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

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.

Coding and Sleeping

From my experience working in software, I can easily buy it was unintentional. But I agree with the better testing. Seems like you could have an automated way to determine if huge blocks of stuff suddenly get excluded in an unexpected way.

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

Lillian? Again? Already? Next thing you know, she'll be growing up or some such thing. She's a BABY.

3/5 of the way through the televised Little Dorrit--is it normal to want the entire Dorrit family dead?

I have a sudden strong craving for Cook's Illustrated's apple pie. And...it's gone. Huh.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Yep. In half an hour, our time, she becomes officially four.

I'm not sure HOW she became four.

Adorable.

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

Still the world's most beautiful fat lemur.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Happy birthday, Lillian!

(I love that name).

Edit: oh, yeah, I also skipped about 600 posts.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

ita, either your lofotenmoose link is seriously broke or I don't have a browser that can run it. It gives me a forbidden page in IE, even.

In fact, I was up late wrestling with CSS myself, like I was trying to round Cape Horn, with a similar amount of determination. I found a site called MaxDesign that shows off Listutorials, a Floatutorial, and a general purpose Selectutorial that were very helpful.

I just want to be able to make my own page for Zengarden, because if I can do that, I think I can claim to be a whiz at CSS stylin'.

Hippo Birdies, Lillian!

“Not dead yet!”

Happy Birthday, Lillian! My goodness, look at that glorious hair--

And I'm certainly willing to accept that there was a [really freakin' big mistake] somewhere in Amazon, but what really bugs me is the email sent to the author stating their practice of screening for adult material.

I mean, yes, the PR bunnies definitely need to work overtime on this Easter Monday.

Interesting perspective from Ron Hogan, senior editor at GalleyCat. He was amazon's gay and lesbian studies editor in the late 90s.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILLIAN!!
