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

Happy birthday, P-C!

All the best for your interview, Aims. Awesome references is the best way to start.

This is pretty nifty. A preacher in Amarillo said he was going to burn the Koran at a local park. Not only did a bunch of UUs show up to protest, but a skaterdude swooped in and snatched the Koran from the grill. [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, man, the quote from skaterdude is hysterical.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

LOVE IT!! "Dude - you *got* no Koran!"

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

Speaking of Detroit, I saw this series of photos linked on Twitter the other day, and it's just jaw-dropping.

Those are horrifying and so sad.

Because books.

Those are horrifying and so sad.

And yet a lot of the shots are hauntingly beautiful. It really is unbelievable to see, though. I knew Detroit was in a bad way, but I had no idea it was like that.

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

Kat, the type of yoga Colin was doing was "hot" yoga. Is that trendy bullshit?

Hot yoga has been around for at least 10 years. I use to have an ashtanga yoga class that followed a hot yoga class. That was not an entirely pleasant experience.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

It's been trendy for a while, ita. Some people love it -- it's yoga done in a roon generally heated to above 100. Warmth loosens the muscles and generally allows people to get into poses deeper. Some people also believe sweating gets toxins out of the body.

I can't stand hot temps, so I haven't done it. I have friends who have, and they said it was good, but the heat really wrings you out.

I read those tweets, and was superjealous of ita for a while, for being friends with someone who goes to yoga with Misha Collins. I might suffer through hot yoga for that!
