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

Heh - PZ didn't waste any time jumping on THAT bandwagon:

I applaud Language Log's bold new policy

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Trivial thought of the day: Whole wheat bagel thins are actually pretty good as long as you realize that the word "bagel" on the package is some sort of printing error.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

He's doing great! We talked about doing lunch, since he still works on campus, so we're in the same town during the day. (But I'm always eating TJ's quiches at my desk. NEED TO GET OUT MORE.)

He said that he's working on a project where he's collaborating with a bunch of playwrights--something where he's getting them to do a bunch of writing for him. I'm not quite clear on the details, but it sounded pretty cool.

I can't believe how long it's been since we've hung out. I haven't even met his DH.

Tom: when I email him about lunch, I'll mention the delurking thread.

My bedroom now with more organization and new curtains: [link]

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

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

LOVE those curtains!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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

I want your curtains, pillows and lampshade, msbelle!!! LOVE.

I wish you lived closer; I have a shitton of pegboards in the garage.

curtains are at BB&B. Lampshade is Liberty at Target spring/summer promotion as is the sham at the back of the pillows, the other pillows are mostly TJMaxx, with one from our own EllenS whom I miss.

My dad may have some pegboard, but I am going to try freecycle. I am not buying more stuff right now.

Oh dear god - I think I'll never eat Chicken McNuggets again....

[link]

Say hello to mechanically separated chicken. It’s what all fast-food chicken is made from—things like chicken nuggets and patties. Also, the processed frozen chicken in the stores is made from it.

Basically, the entire chicken is smashed and pressed through a sieve—bones, eyes, guts, and all. it comes out looking like this.

There’s more: because it’s crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color.

But, hey, at least it tastes good, right?

The description is gross as well, so I whitefonted in case you want to continue to eat chicken nuggets.
