I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

A con artist named Marks? How confusing.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Sophia, do you want recs from me and Ailleann for bandom? Or do you think you've covered it all?

I think I may have read everything that was ever written about Panic, MCR and FOB. At least twice. But thank you!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Which includes a table of contents printed in subject order but NOT in pagination order.

...

I no longer think I work for the most fucked-up journal.

And articles published on-line and *paginated* months before the printed volume goes to press.

God DAMN. That makes NO sense. NONE. We publish the articles online 4-6 weeks before the print journal goes out, but those aren't paginated, and once the print journal goes out, those online articles ("Ahead of Print," we call them) disappear from the site and get replaced with the paginated files.

We edit xml files. Let me just go on record saying that xml is shit for both editing and layout. Why we use it, I do not know.

And I've reached a whole new level of gobsmacked. SRSLY.

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

XML? For reals?

I boggle.

I think I may eventually watch and I don't want to get spoiled.

Aha. Well, if you ever need the Dean/[spoiler] hookup, I'm your girl. Just saying.

Maintenance fixed my garage door and I swear they used a whole can of WD-40. It smells so aerosol-ly and oily. I left the garage open a few inches to try to air it out. But the smell is in the apartment too. Blech. Headache inducing. Do not want.

Yes, I'm whining. Just ignore me.

Sophia, if you want any Star Trek Kirk/McCoy recs, I've got over 500 on my delicious account.

Oh, wow! Are you SailAweigh there, too?

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

Has this been posted before? I think this t-shirt version is new: El Vética: luchero meets typographer

Yep. Here, have a link: [link] That's all my recs, not just Star Trek. There's a lot of Gibbs/DiNozzo from NCIS, too.

Huh.

Is M.I.A.'s new album title un-Googleable SEO poison?

I am very excited about the contents of M.I.A.'s new album, judging from the material that's been sneak-leaked so far. But hipsterrunoff points out that the album's title is really problematic from an SEO (search engine optimization) standpoint: ///Y/ is supposed to spell out MAYA, using forward and back slashes in a sort of nod to leetspeak and txt-y truncation. Ever try searching for a series of slashes in Google? Yeah. It's gonna be a bit of a marketing problem for her, I'd guess.

eta: The album name won't even post to b.org correctly.
