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

This sounds so COMPLETELY AWESOME - I really hope NASA bites:

Proposal to send "boat" to explore Titan's seas:

The concept will be suggested to the US space agency for one of its future mission opportunities that will test a novel power system.

It would be the first exploration of a planetary sea beyond Earth.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Wow, an active male rugby player came out. That takes serious stones.

We had a rugby league player come out in the 90s, Ian Roberts [link] Possibly against expectations, the rugby league fraternity was pretty supportive. He finished his career playing in North Queensland, which is not known for progressive social views. I think he did a great deal of good in that regard.

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

I'd like to see someone come out in a sport with a large black contingent.

hip deep in pie

Watching a retelling of Much Ado About Nothing with Damian Lewis ans Sarah Parrish ans Billie Piper. I can't believe this has been sitting on my Apple TV all this time.

I really want to see those.

I'm at my parent's for the holidays. I tried listening to an audiobook of A Confederacy of Dunces on the bus, but I kept falling asleep and drifint in and out of the plot. I listened to almost 5 hours, but probably only heard 90 minutes.

By the time the snowpocalypse reaches here, were supposedly only getting trace amounts of snow, then rain. I did not bring footwear for a green Xmas.

Ugh, spent the afternoon shopping for a replacement gift for best friend's wife since my order from Signals that allegedly shipped on 12/3 hasn't arrived yet. Or more accurately, spent the afternoon driving around the mall parking lot looking for a space, as the actual shopping part probably took less than 45 minutes once I made the trek in from Outer Mongolia. If I have to do this again for my family drawing gift next week my new hobby will become giving bad word of mouth on every consumer review website I can turn up on the internets.

Dennis Rodman in drag doesn't count, I guess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

After leaving my cookies out on the counter all day, I just ate one with a broken leg, and it's pretty good! And they are cute enough. So that's good. At my parents, I frosted cupcakes and chopped some stuff, and then we watched half of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (I typed "Several" the first time, which would have maybe been a funnier movie), and decorated the tree. Nice! Now I just have to remember to bring everything over tomorrow.

Still no snow here.
