Kat, mine killed Bitches earlier today. It happens. Although bedtime is a more likely explanation. I wish you much luck getting through tomorrow and a very relaxing vacation.

Speaking of bedtime, I'm off. Night, y'all.

I just realized that probably the Hershey's kisses I've been eating all evening are the cause of my lack of sleepiness. Oops.

The panels with Kate Mulgrew at DragonCon were full of women who told her that her character inspired them to go into science.

There needs to be a word for expressing how awesome it is that something happened, yet sad that it was an issue to begin with. That is how I am feeling.

But it's fantastic they went into science.

FCM: Gareth David Lloyd Gerard Butler Gerard Way

You evil bitch. F Gareth David Lloyd (oh, I was so set to M him until I got to the end), C Gerard Butler and M Gerard Way.

Unless the choice is F Gerard Way (and wife, yes), C Gerard Butler and M Gareth David Lloyd. Maybe the F was approved extracurricular for the Ways and then there are two happy couples at the end.

I overthink these...

A lot.

Also I fear Jilli. But no way am I chucking Gee. I will just see if I can run faster.

My office doesn't show much geekitude, unless you count my copy of The Deluxe Transitive Vampire.

That book is filed in the "stuff near me because it's all useful and shit" area. Along with dictionaries and the thesaurus. And the monkey from Wonderfalls. Because I listen.

No takers on the 13 year old? He will vacuum for food.

I already have one of those that I am trying to avoid getting full-time.

This is a neat photo: [link] Presuming I'm translating the title properly (Vader en kind met kerstboom) as Father and child with Christmas tree, it makes me think that people in the Netherlands weren't at all surprised when Darth Vader said, "Luke, I am your father."

Skipping before shabbat because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Burrell and her DH's anniversary.

Happy day to the both of them (and all their family)! And a wonderful year ahead!

Happy last day of Hanukkah to all those who celebrate it, and good (short) Fridays and lovely weekends all around!

Happy Anniversary Burrell and DH!

Nilly, I hope you're having a Happy Hanukkah!

Also - today it is 30 degrees this morning and it feels warm.

And the radio announcer kept on saying that when the snow was done we'd have 2 inches on the ground and I kept wanting to say - you mean that's 2 MORE inches on the ground!

Car illusion

Looking at it makes my head hurt.

Spite Houses, built to piss off the neighbors

Ape Lad sez, "I somehow ended up reading about spite houses (homes built specifically to piss off a neighbor) this evening, which I had never heard of before. Flickr has several when you search the tags, including the sad story behind this house in Connecticut."

Now this is an ugly house: [link]

And: Bug powder causes male bedbugs to stab each other to death with their penises

Male bedbugs will schtup anything, and when they do, their stabby little penises can do great damage to one another. Female bedbugs have some "down there" armor that absorbs the punishing blows of the bedbug's love-spear, but males lack this protection. A pheromone discovered by a Swedish researcher can cause male bedbugs to kill each other with their penises through uncontrolled shagging....

Heh.

Happy Anniversary, Burrell!!

And continued Happy Hannukah to all!

I am counting down the hours until my boss's vacation -- except that never keeps her off email, so I don't know what I'm thinking will change.
