And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

If it is something that I can use to integrate with existing systems for remote control and for custom applications I'll be all over it. If it's got the build quality of the iPhone/MacBook Pros and is light enough to carry for an extended time I'll be using it on most of my job sites.

But Joe Average Consumer doesn't have a need for that kind of device, and can't write it off as a business expense. It may well find a niche among audio & video professionals, but that's not the kind of user base that makes something take off the way the iPhone did.

On another note entirely, the pacing and repetitiveness of Super Why may make me want to remove my eyes with a pitchfork, but it's hard to really dislike a kids' show where the heroes' call to action is "To the BOOK CLUB!"

Back to reality. TCG's car was plowed in. Our neighbors borrowed our shovel and didn't put it back, and couldn't be bothered to shovel out the back entrance, which they already use.

ETA: There was no snow at the beach.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I find myself a wee bit disturbed by the immense glee I'm taking in unpacking my books and arranging them just so. There's even a bit of hand clapping and squeeing going on.

Do you pat some of them and say "my precious"? Do you hug some? I've been known to.

Unpacking books often takes me really long time, because I often stop to reacquaint myself with old friends by reading a chapter or two (or the book, whatever)

Timely greetings to all. I have a dissertation result! I *scraped* a distinction. This should mean I get a distinction overall. That brings me ever so slightly closer - bearing in mind the current craziness over university funding - to PhD funding. Let the rollercoaster continue!

Woo!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Whoot! I've been told I get to take the test that will determine if I can do Level 2 work around here, which means more work but more money! Yay!

Connie, right on!!!
