Totally just threw coworker to sharks. Did not want to go to meeting.

Bainbridge is a little closer, but still - island living is island *living*.

Yeah, that's the thing. It's like I said, in theory, it sounds lovely to my slightly misanthropic soul, but probably not so much with the practical and for me, practical tends to outweigh misanthropic. I mean, half the draw of Seattle for me is the fact that I have FRIENDS, you know?

Also: the ferries stop at about 1am. In my social circle, that's criminally early. YMMV of course; not everyone is a blood-sucking child of the night.

For me, 1AM is up writing. Or a late night in the bar at a writing conference. Because, y'know, I'm a geek like that. Also, having munchkins makes 1AM nights out a thing of the long ago and far away. And again, for practicality's purposes, I like the freedom of being able to get where I want to be with relative ease.

Dr. Spencer Reid can't be seen having arms like that.

Oh yes he can.

It's the hair that's killing me in that picture.

Real Science Dealing With Important Issues:

If zombies actually existed, an attack by them would lead to the collapse of civilisation unless dealt with quickly and aggressively.

That is the conclusion of a mathematical exercise carried out by researchers in Canada.

They say only frequent counter-attacks with increasing force would eradicate the fictional creatures.

The scientific paper is published in a book - Infectious Diseases Modelling Research Progress.

So do I want the shoe, or the boot?

I have to say the shoe, although I flipped back and forth several times.

I vote boot.

Shoe.

If the boot had more eyelets or whatever the hole for the shoelace is called, I would have voted boot.
