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

Stupid country and its politics.

I was already having a not very good day by the time my computer crashed and took swlightly over 4 hours of work with it.

I was considering drinking, but that would require moving off the sofa, and I think I've decided not to do that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

10 Weird Superheroes You Might Not have Heard About

Mater-Eater Lad is cool!

Say this out loud without laughing we dare you. The true name of Matter-Eater Lad is Tenzil Kem and he’s got the ability to eat matter in any form. Hailing from planet Bismoll this strong stomached wonder first appeared in Adventure Comics as part of the DC Universe. From his story line we find that all inhabits of the planet Bismoll developed their remarkable constitutions when the food on their world became inedible. If you wondered about the fact that Bismoll sounds a lot like Pepto-Bismoll the tummy medicine we’re sure it’s just a coincidence.

But Arm Fall Off Boy freaks me out.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I remember Matter-Eater Lad and Bouncing Boy, but that's because there's a period in the '60s when I read every word DC published.

Just what the fuck is going on here? [link]

I mean, are they friends? Or is the fox bringing home his dinner?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Skipping past all the depressing political results to mention an excellent NCIS fanfic that someone recommended in the Procedurals thread way back (I'm a recent convert to the show, so I threadsucked and searched through the thread for all NCIS references) called "The White Hat Sneakers," and excellent McGee-centered genfic at fanfiction.net that I really love. Thanks for the rec belatedly, whoever posted the link!!

Oh, and I just got back from my first library school class!!! Intro to Library Science--11 students, I'm the oldest by a decade, the teacher is really terrific, and the textbooks are costing me way too much (at least I can get one of them through B&N with my employee discount).

The prof passed out an article that outlined the various steps to acquiring information and disseminating it to a librarian's patrons/clients/end user, and it totally tracked with what I do on a daily basis at my job in the legal publisher's editorial library, which I thought was really cool. The prof thought so, too, when I mentioned it after she asked for our opinions on the article.

Since it was the first class, she had us pair up, do a mini-interview and then introduce our partner to the class. One thing we had to mention was a "fun fact," which stumped me for a bit until I mentioned that I had met Julie Andrews once. My interview plotzed, and when she told the class that in her introduction of me, it got a big "oooohhh!!" from everyone else, the only fun fact to get such a reaction.

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

Yeah, I got nothing against the playfully commitment-phobic. Because I am that. It's why I'll pick Dean over Sam.

How is Dream weird in a series featuring Desire and especially Delirium? And isn't 30% of that list from The Legion of Super Heroes? That's a bit heavy. Didn't Marvel do enough weird?

I am pissed. I decided to get my laptop fixed even though I'm replacing it, and even though it worked at the repair shop, it won't turn on now that I've gotten it home. And I have no idea when the replacement comes in. Do I go back to the repair shop with it? I already signed off on it.

Dammit.

Whenever you think you've seen the stupidest, there's ALWAYS MORE STUPID.
