You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.

Logic deteriorates as time goes on in BSG, but there was much to love.

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

Phew. Yours Truly and her family won't be living in a settlement, after all.

They'll probably live in a neighborhood beyond the green line, but then again, about 70% of Jerusalem post-1967 was built beyond said line.

You cannot imagine my relief. It's not final yet or anything, but damn, it's starting to look like it.

That is good to hear, Shir.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

That's excellent news, Shir.

not your mom's socks.

That's a relief Shir.

Took a few hours off from my current chained-to-desk status to take the most awesome bike ride (and a new post to TWC yay) with d ( [link] ) and DH and HelloKittyFan#1 ( [link] ).

The NPH vid at the emmys is too funny.

a hard drive named Yamamoto anything has to be pretty well encrypted i'd guess, ND.

now back to my desk. mwah.

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

Ian M Banks does wonderful spaceship names - the ships in his Culture universe are sentient and give themselves what they think are hilarious nicknames, but, being spaceships, their idea of humor differs somewhat from that of their human occupants.

No, I'm not 100% kidding. (I'm being very meanly snarky, though.)

You're not even 50% kidding. BSG TOS was Book of Mormon fanfic, straight up.

(Which I guess would make Galactica 1980 Book of Mormon crackfic.)]

Shir, that's great news!

What is even happening?

Where's my kalbot at?

I called my mom—I decided that my original plan of not telling them for a while and just randomly dropping it in one day as oh by the way I got a promotion a few weeks ago would just be childish and inappropriate—and she of course asked how much I made now ("Oh, that's not bad!" she said, surprised) and then asked whether I could go finish my PhD now. I told her I had no intention of doing so, and could she please just focus on the good and stop criticizing my life? She didn't know how that was criticizing my life; all she said was could I get a PhD now. I told her it was criticizing my personal choices, and I knew she was upset I didn't finish it. Thankfully, she backed off and just congratulated me.

Good job, P-C. That must have been difficult for you (but it's so good, for both of you).

New Year's thought:

This year, I want to learn how to be happy with the life I'm living without taking too much things on myself and killing and exhausting myself in the process. Because I think I deserve to, especially after I understood what's deriving so many energies out of me*

And I have no idea how to do this.

The past year I was lazier then I was the previous years, no doubt. But I had a bag of guilt to accompany me for "not doing enough".

How does one gets rid of this feeling?

Shir when you figure all this out, would you please tutor me, because...yeah. Just yeah. I'm glad you got good news on your living situation.

Ya, that's what I was telling my sister. She was "I don't think drugs is the best way of getting booze out of your system". I was trying to explain how it takes away the mental half of the addiction so there is no temptation to drink while your body goes through the physical withdrawl symptoms. She relunctantly came around. She's a bit bull headed sometimes.

It can be necessary physically, too, to avoid the DTs. Besides, he's post-surgical. Now is not the time for toughing it out. Here's much healing~ma for your father, omnis. (And some peace of mind for you. If that means more Nicholas Cage, then have at it.)

I thought BSG was great, but yeah things make less sense as the series went on. I also found the podcasts interesting despite RDM's ego.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm glad Rigatoni's kidney is working, albeit overtime. Much continued kitty~ma toward him, Fred.

In unrelated news, I've been looking for a duvet cover without knowing exactly what I want, just knowing that what I was seeing wasn't it. Well, today I ran across this and realized that that was exactly what I was looking for. Yay! I don't care if I have to wait until November for it to ship. I can stop poking around bedding sites and stores and obsess about other things for a while.
