There was a metric ton of steampunk stuff at Dragoncon, including a woman with a steampunk stroller, and my personal favorite, steampunk X-Men (Professor X, Rogue, Gambit, and Wolverine).
Bester: Mal. Whaddya need two mechanics for? Mal: I really don't.

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.

Random foodie question(s):
Does anyone drink kombucha? If so, do you notice any health/energy effects?
Does anyone brew their own kombucha?

Does anyone drink kombucha?
Ew. Tried it. Hated it.

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

I now have two officemates who keep up running commentary of everything going on in their heads while they're doing work. Like, what theorem they're using, what page the index says to look at, and so on.

For any Chicagoista art fans, don't forget that this Friday is Gallery Night, the kickoff of the fall art gallery season. A map to various locations and events--there's a free trolley service being provided to shuttle people around the various neighborhoods.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
So, I am not doing as well as I thought on mac's first day back. Kinda fighting of an anxiety attack of my own. Flailing with the things I need to do on the personal side of my life, can't seem to start anything, no idea where to get going. The work stuff is not better, I keep picking things up starting on them, then freaking out on what to do next or jumping to something else unrelated. No more caffeine for me, that is for sure, maybe some peppermint tea, that is calming, yes?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Definitely steer clear of the Diet Coke, msbelle. Here's hoping things improve!
ION, the strangest method of drinking water ever.
