I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

I'm disappointed there are no gay sex scenes on the list.

we really haven't had any. There have been kisses, maybe some afterglow in bed, but no actual gay sex scenes on network TV.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

There have been kisses, maybe some afterglow in bed,

And very little of that, even.

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

ABC is all same sex kissy kissy, relatively speaking. Not that kissy kissy should be relative. I have no idea how far Brothers & Sisters goes, but I heard rumours that Grey's might be getting steamier in the lesbian arena this season.

I'm trying to remember what network Colin's gay sex scene was on. For some reason I'd thought it was the low numbers, but it totally escapes me now. It was too long ago for that, practically speaking. Nothing Joss did with Willow would have been of note if Colin's car sex had been...wait, no...that was an actual movie. Never mind. The TV gay sex was just afterglow.

My mind fills in the dots.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I think I am leaving work early. I am having back spasms and am seriously cranky.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I say go home, msbelle. I totally would if I could. I'm exhausted and freezing. I'm wearing my coat inside and have been for several hours. And? Still effing cold.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I finally got out of bed about an hour ago. Between neck pain and general teh sick, I'm glad to be home today.

I also caught up on Glee. I'm glad there was some forward motion almost resolution on the Terri/Will thing as well as some movement on the irksome baby plot line. Waiting till April seems like a big long wait, but whatev.

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

My week long migraine is making me wish I was at home. The nausea isn't making the hunger go away, and fail vice versa. But leaving early is pointless, even though I have time banked. I need to perform an exchange of goods with my sister at the airport this afternoon/evening, and I'm likely to want to leave early tomorrow even more badly. t /whine

Our wings are not tired.

Okay, someone help me out here: is there any downside to an Employee Stock Purchase Plan? You get company stock at a 15% discount of the lower of the closing market price of the first and last day of the six-month period. So if the stock has gone down and you sell on that last day, you make 15% regardless, right? And if it's gone up, you're going to make a lot more. It seems like a win-win. What am I not considering? Taxes? Taxes are screwy and confusing with stocks.

P-C, I strongly recommend a book called Consider Your Options. It's awesome at explaining everything you need to know, including the all-important tax questions. And in general, yes, the ESPP program is a great thing.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think I'm about to put my coat on while sitting at my desk.

Also, I have to go get my car battery checked when I leave work, because it was sluggish starting this morning.

I hate winter SO MUCH.

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

"We may be surrounded by many more murderous plants than we think"

For instance, the cross-leaved heath (Erica tetralix) is not typically considered a carnivorous plant, but this pink flower possesses sticky, adhesive glands and dwells in poor soils. Also, while carnivorous seeds might be a strange concept, those of the shepherd’s purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) possesses a sticky layer with chemicals that can attract, kill and digest victims.

"Although a man-eating tree is fictional, many commonly grown plants may turn out to be cryptic carnivores, at least by absorbing through their roots the breakdown products of the animals that they ensnare," Chase said.
