Timelies all!
Was down on the Mall for the 4th, and yes, it was insanely crowded. Weather was nice for once.(Last few years have seen thunderstorms at some point during the day)
Had a dream involving zombies(or something like them) and people alternately trying to hide from them or trying to figure out how to kill them. My brain is odd...
That eye tooth situation is BONKERS.
I'm wondering if it's some sort of made-up story -- I'll misbelieve until I see more stories from other science/health sites that don't cite it but have other information. (There's not enough technical details in the story to convince me it would work, or there would be other methods, like a corneal transplant that would work better.)
Oy, having to buy clothes mostly online for the kids right now-- they're both big for their ages and their tastes actually run towards real kidswear, not Streetwalker and Thug Lite.
Thank God for Lands End, is all I can say. Even L.L. Bean failed me here with respect to Nate.
Leif just told me he wanted a bow and some flaming arrows. I told him I didn't think that was a good idea. We don't storm castles on Sundays.
Well,
The Telegraph
is pretty narrow-minded and conservative as broadsheets go, but it's not
The Weekly World News.
I mean, I don't think they'd run something like that if it was some spurious piece of nonsense. They're not an 'Aliens Ate My Baby' kind of publication. They're more a "We miss good old Maggie Thatcher" flavour of evil.
That said, the whole eyeteeth situation is making my head explode with the OMGWTF crazy disturbing SciFiness.
At Wimbledon, there's no
tie-breaker
in the
fifth set
, right?
Oh, hey, Fay - I've been reading some Iain M. Banks lately, and I saw that you mentioned him in Literary. I'm close to finishing
Matter,
and before that I read
Consider Phlebas.
Then I need something else by him to read. I think I'll stick to the Culture novels for now - any recommendations on what to read next?
Well, that answers that question.
