'Serenity'
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.
I kind of just don't get the keyboard cat meme.
Well, not only is it a cat that "plays the keyboard," but it's somehow empowered to play off people who are annoying, stupid or have failed somehow.
OK, it might be one of those things that just can't be explained, because I don't think my explanation is helpful....
eta: Maybe it's because the Keyboard Cat just looks so peeved?
ION, am I the only one to not know there are disposable fountain pens?
Varsity Disposable Fountain Pens
I feel stupid, because I kind of just don't get the keyboard cat meme.
Don't feel bad. I don't get it either.
Is Tino doing the planning?
That would explain a lot.
GAH FUCK. I've been trying for... ::checks computer clock:: ...two and a quarter hours now to upload a revised MS to a journal website for one of my bosses. Every single copy that I send is showing up as a 94-page PDF with every single edit that's ever been made on this miserable thing.
I've turned off show comments, show insertions/deletions, show reviewers, track changes; shut down the show balloons option in the application preferences; shut down all possible remotely edit-related tickyboxes, then quit out, then gone back in, and nothing is working. The document looks clean as a whistle in Word and like a fucking multicolor nightmare in PDF, and I can't find any other edit/proofing anything to opt out of.
It's possible that having worked straight through lunch on this assbastard document and now being savagely hungry may be contributing to my foul mood, but really mostly I think it's Word hate.
I blame Tino.
I love Varsity disposable fountain pens. They come in fun colors.
Timelies all!
Back from the con. Other than travel delays on both ends, I had a great time.(These things always go by so quickly)
Next year is our turn to run the Northeast Floating Filk Con. AaaaaHHHH!
Oh my god. Two Metro trains on the redline have collided. Near Takoma Park. How is that even possible?
Most people have been able to walk away, but at least one person is dead.
Yikes!
ION, am I the only one to not know there are disposable fountain pens?
I dunno, but I've been using them for a good 20 years.
I am glad my DH drove today.
eta: the news is now saying 2 dead
