And I'm seeing American Idiot at Berkeley Rep tonight. 'Suela got me an ushering gig, so I am all dressed up per dress code. Someone asked me if I was wearing a costume.
I'm not on the ship. I'm in the ship. I am the ship.

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.

Are there a lot of freaky deaths in The Omen ?

Heh. All I know about the movie is that there's an evil kid named Damien. And recently my co-worker and I were talking about Damien Rice and discovered that the name Damien grew in popularity after the movie came out.

I have forgotten what this stands for, as it is not Karrot Bacon Dude.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
There's a Bat Workshop at my local birding store tomorrow that I might go to. I need to stock up on thistle and suet, anyway, and I want a Bat House. Then handing out candy tomorrow night, maybe seeing what's going on at the plaza beforehand (possibly a parade? I am uninformed).

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

Now tagless for your comfort.
What are people doing this weekend? Who (in addition to Nicole and the Reasons) has big Halloween plans?
In three hours, we're going to be invaded by a dozen 5 and 6 year olds. Everything is ready, though, so we're just chillin' until they get here.

See, this? Is just *asking* for trouble, by which I mean Freaky Death.

Umm. Korean Beef Delicacy. My bf was thus dubbed on LJ, semi-long it-was-funnier-at-the-time story. Technically he's only half-Korean. And no, he doesn't know about the nickname.
I need a bat house.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I ended up developing a crush on a guy named (well, stage named) Damien in the 80s, and since then have totally wanted to name a putative kid that. I figured that people wouldn't remember for that long. I'm kinda chuffed and kinda dismayed that other people took a shine to the name too.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Your brain is a collection of microscopic fandoms
In their most recent work this year, the research team reported that a single human neuron could recognize a personality through pictures, text or the sound of a name -- no matter how that person was presented. In tests, one brain cell reacted only to Oprah Winfrey; another just to Luke Skywalker; a third singled out Argentine soccer star Diego Maradona.
Each neuron appeared to join together pieces of sensory information into a single mental impression. The researchers believe these cells are evidence that it only takes a simple circuit of neurons to encode an idea, perception or memory.
