We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hey, he's 29. YkidMV, but that's spitting distance to me. His character on FNL is about 19, of course. He also played Gambit in the Wolverine movie.

eta he was also the male half of the "mile-high and die" couple in Snakes on A Plane.

Now tagless for your comfort.

So glad that didn't result in disaster, meara!

I discovered tiny ants in the kitchen this morning. In a box of glazed donuts. Feh. Time to nuke the little bastards.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Holy crap, meara! Don't do that!

Ewww...ants. I really really hate them. One advantage to living on the 5th floor, no ants.

This has already been an ick morning. It can stop now, thankyouverymuch.

OK, so I decided last night I shouldn't read my email after 4:30 pm the day before a 9 am meeting. I should also not read my email before that 9 am meeting, because then I'll get engrossed in another issue and be a couple minutes late to the meeting. Damnit.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I knew I should have started my laundry when I first woke up at 5:30. I fell back to sleep and then got stuck in the bathroom before I could get down to the laundry room at 8:15. Sigh. Now I won't get to work until almost 10:30 (have to stop at the library to do some stuff for class before going to work). Luckily, I stayed late at work last night to make up time for leaving early this afternoon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, he's 29.

Oh, that's a grownup, for sure.

Ack! Yes, meara, I'm so glad nothing bad happened.

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

I think Hec posted something about Battleship Island a while back - here's a bunch of pictures:

Battleship Island & Other Ruined Urban High-Density Sites

In the case of Hashima Island, or Battleship Island (Gunkanjima in Japanese) as it's often called, hope and optimism became dust and decay because one black resource (coal) was replaced by a cheaper black resource (oil). Populated first in 1887, the island – which is 15 kilometers from Nagasaki – only began to really, and phenomenally, become populated much later, in 1959.

Hashima is, for many ruin fans, the rotting and collapsing grail, the benchmark all other crumbling structures are measured against – and seeing pictures of the place it's easy to see why. Not only is Hashima frighteningly preserved in some places, as if the residents had just stepped out as few minutes before, but it is also, contrarily, spectacularly falling down. Beyond its current awe-inspiring state of decay, the island's dramatic isolation and its bizarre history make it the ruin of ruins.
