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

I have my heat treatment machine and am using it for the first time. am very excited. what I need to be doing is getting my room is some sort of order so that we can actually sleep tonight. I can't manage 2 rooms so mac is just sleeping in my bed tonight.

Right now I can barely walk into the room because all the furniture is pushed into the middle of the room, along with plastic bags full of stuff. It's almost as if we were painting.

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

Good luck with the rooms, msbelle. And the sleeping, I hope you get a good night's sleep tonight.

Wow. That's both evil and brilliant.

Well he got caught, so not as brilliant as you might think.

Hoping for a good night, msbelle!

Loki is bedeviling Devi. Something funny about both being named after deities. A rumble in Asgard?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Came home this evening, and the power was out. (There is a pole down near our complex) G and I went out to dinner , and the power was back when we returned.

This is a good thing in many regards, including the fact that my parents are coming in tomorrow for the weekend, and we hadn't finished cleaning. Now we have.

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

I got a rubik's cube yesterday, and it's infuriating because they keep walking by, picking it up, and solving it in ten minutes and then I have to mix it all up again.

Ooh. I won $50 for solving the Rubik's Cube when I was 11. That's a lot of money for an 11 year old. I'm slower now, takes me about 90 seconds. I've seen a book that promises to teach yo uhow to solve it in under 30 seconds or something. It tempts me, though not yet enough to actually buy it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I know that there's a strategy for solving a Rubik's cube, but I've never actually sat down with one for long enough to figure it out, and I don't want to look it up on the internet because that feels like cheating.

Screwdriver, I tell you. Or be really evil and goo-be-gone! Now it all matches.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I got a solve-the-cube book when I was a kid. IIRC, there were a bunch of algorithms for stuff like how to swap two pieces that are currently on opposite sides in n moves. I got fairly quick, found it boring once I had the tricks, have forgotten every bit of it, and am much more inclined to just take the blasted thing apart these days.

Screwdriver, I tell you.

Yep. That's how I've always solved Rubik's cubes.
