I love being a twin. I hate our names.

Could be worse. Could be Odette and Odile.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm reading some epic science wank. A book. A book review ripping the book apart. The authors make several blog posts disputing the bad review. Hundreds of comments follow.

The wank is fantastic.

If only they had all done time in fandom, they might have known better. Alas, a Ph.D. in one or several of the hard sciences does not an internet genius make.

I need to teach a class I think.

Perhaps Dana, shrift, and consuela can all join me and tell scary boogeyman tales around a fire.

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

Is it Unscientific America? I know the authors and PZ have been going back and forth about it....

Now tagless for your comfort.

I agree.

Could be worse. Could be Odette and Odile.

Those names at least sound interesting. Lisa and Lori? Not so much.

After a very busy day, Liv fell asleep on the floor at 5:30 p.m. I didn't have the heart to disturb her but it's now pushing 7:30. Going to be a late bedtime at Casa Cashmere.

I have purchased and assembled a new lamp. This should not make me feel as accomplished as it does: [link]

I've met Victoria Bitter AND Cassie Claire. I can tell tales uphill both ways while covered in ash from the erupting Wankatoa.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

There used to be a pair of identical twins who were both in the same graduate program as me. Their names are Natalia and Natasha.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I met some twins the other day named Christian and Crystal. Differentiate, parents!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Their names are Natalia and Natasha.

This is especially sad to me given that the one is a nickname for the other. It's like naming your twins Robert and Bob.

Oh! And I wanted to congratulate Nilly and her Khusband! The news made me smile today when not much else could.

Oh, amych, I'm sure I've mentioned them here before, but I once knew twins named Mary and Maureen, which made my mother roll her eyes forever.
