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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Do you ever type a post and realize, "no one cares" and then delete it?

All the time. I'm so neurotic I usually delete it before I post.

WRT to the wheat, I find that I am happier with whole grains than with highly refined flours. The refined ones can clog my system a bit, DH's too. But I would cry if I had to cut out wheat entirely.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

All the time. I'm so neurotic I usually delete it before I post.

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

This link has two awesome videos.

1st video is of a 20-story trebuchet that flings flaming pianos and a compact car.

2nd one is Cherpumple: The Franken-Kaiju Pie-Cake From Hell (Both videos at this link)

What they're comparing this next invention to is a turducken. The dessert equivalent thereof. Well, this guy--Charles Phoenix--is like our friend from across the pond with a trebuchet: thinking big. Big and ludicrous. And we respect that.

Because books.

All the time. I'm so neurotic I usually delete it before I post.

I totally do that.

Half the time anymore I just write the post in my head.

Back from Christmas travels. Twelve hours in the car today, all told, but now at least I HAVE MY OWN BED.

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

That is not romance, sarcasm, math, or language beyond the most basic.

Just wait. Tomorrow he'll do a strip of him addressing his fans directly: "Yesterday's post was done in the persona of evil xkcd-guy, from the Star Trek 'Mirror Mirror' alternate reality."

Wait, I know! Maybe he lost a bet.

Aaand awake again, damnit. Just scared the fuck out of the bird living in my oven not-exhaust vent. Hopefully, he'll find the stale bread tomorrow.

Awake too, sara. I hope you're sleeping now.

I am pledging to myself to not update any websites or send any emails.
