Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness. Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

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

Dylan is running around pretending to hurt himself and then presenting various body parts to be kissed better. It is quite heartbreakingly cute and totally makes up for all the two-ness of this past weekend.

I love imaginary numbers. They are awesome.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

All numbers are imaginary, real numbers are just a particular type of imaginary number.

FWTW.

Oh Jessica, my sister in twohood! Grace hits herself in the head, a lot. And part of this is a stim thing, but some of it isn't. She looks at whichever adult is there and gives them this look like, "What?"

Sigh.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Barren? Who says barren? Someone get me a Brit. Do Brits still say 'barren'?

This came up in a comedy show here last night (Good News Week). One contestant was arguing for the return of words like 'barren' and 'spinster'.

Woot! Down with letter-appropriating imaginary "numbers"!

Imaginary numbers didn't exactly start this. e is perfectly real, for instance.

Art Crawl!!!

I read (in that article?) that Deborah Rowe is living in the country surrounded by animals. Horse people sometimes still talk about a "barren mare" - I wonder if that's why she used that term?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Ugh. I just woke up from a mid-afternoon nap, and I'm feeling all gronkified, like I was just clubbed over my head and am slightly dazed. Ugh.

My cat nearly had me going when I came home early from work. I came in the apartment door, and was not greeted by her, which I understood due to my only being gone a few hours. But, she didn't show while I was putting away some groceries, and she didn't show while I was getting changed, and she wasn't under the bed or anywhere in any of the other rooms in the house. So, I'm running around, all panicked that somehow she had slipped out of the apartment when I left for the day, putting my shoes back on and getting ready to run downstairs to go around the building and complex to look for her, when it occurred to me to look one more time in the further depths of the bedroom closet. I poke my head deep in and hear this very faint "Mrroww?" Little shit was comfy as hell in the exact center of my long closet.

Haha! Loki did that to me several times, except I had no idea where he'd gone to. After I'd searched the basement, first floor and second floor a couple times, he'd just appear sleepily blinking at the top of the stairs. I mean, I'd even checked all the pillows and duvet (he likes to crawl into both and crash out.) I finally caught him sleeping on a shelf behind the clothes hanging in my big closet.

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

The DM of the Rings

Neatorama sez:

The DM of the Rings is a webcomic by Shamus Young which imagines the characters of The Lord of the Rings movies as players in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign who consistently refuse to stay in-character.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

When I moved back into my mom's house, my kitty at the time dug some sort of hole and crawled up into her boxspring to sleep. He was impossible to find!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I think I'll mark today off in the "win" column as the last day of my vacation. I finally slept in, bought delicious locally-grown tomatoes and blackberries at a nursery, got some light cleaning and a couple loads of laundry done, spent much of the afternoon poolside (I'd forgotten that the community center has a public pool in the summer, much cheaper than the YMCA), and am heading out for sushi in a little while. Now if the moderately hot pilot who's been asking me when we'd meet up can get his act together later tonight, it'll be just about perfect.
