I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

somehow I missed the previous mentions.

That's why Esposito called her Honeymilk, because there'd been a mention of him feeding her warm milk in episode 2. And there were a couple after that.

Busted again for doodling during meetings. But I have an awful "Carry On My Wayward Son" earworm, and I thought drawing Winchesters would at least get the stupid look off my face.

At least I got to sass the guy who flipped me off, and sassed him hard.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Me too, Hil. Some Tuesdays, The Office repeats seem like a less...fraught choice. Although I do like TGW...that "family starting over" thing hits home, sometimes.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

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

I got to tell the two developers in the meeting today that they were engaging in a "geek spiral." I felt all Eliot for a second. Leverage jokes, party of one...

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

Interesting graphic, showing the US nutritional recommendations compared to subsidies. [link] (Basically, recommendations are to eat mostly grains, fruits, and vegetables. Subsidies go almost entirely to meat and dairy, some to grains, and almost nothing to fruits and vegetables.) There's also a chart showing how prices of different foods have changed since 1978 -- soda and meat have consistently gone down, fresh produce has consistently gone up.

Both my public radio stations are in pledge week. Ahrg.

Arm is slowly getting better.

People are just odd.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

AH! I caught the honeymilk reference when it happened, but I forgot.

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

Timelies all!

Congrats Connie!

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

Busted again for doodling during meetings. But I have an awful "Carry On My Wayward Son" earworm, and I thought drawing Winchesters would at least get the stupid look off my face.

If it helps, I am drinking a beer and, well, reading buffistas on my current conference call. Go team WFH!

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

Congressman Admits Tickle Fight, Nothing More

So he's trying to put the kibosh on those "Ticklepocalypse" rumours?
