Looks like the worst of it is missing us.

Stupid kids in the laplanes tonight. Actually doing laps, but also goofing around and drifting into my lane. I clobbered him several times. AND THEN he got out of the lane, someone else got in, he got BACK IN, started circle swim with her, BUT DIDN'T TELL ME. And so she and I collided. If I get a black eye, next time kid is in my lane, I'm going to ask the guards to boot him or something. He was just generally a menace.

The guy in the lane had a very detailed, very nice Hubble Telescope tattoo on his bicep. I asked if he worked with it and "No, I just think it is the coolest thing ever." "I work for Hubble." "NO WAY!!!"

Hivemind cooking question:

How long should I roast brussel sprouts? I know to peel off the icky leaves and at least cut them in half and coat them with olive oil and salt and pepper. But I don't know what to set the oven on and how long to roast them.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

400 degrees, about 20 minutes, but check them after 15.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

The Dana? I hear they were offering a deal.

All the talk of snow is stressing me out, and making me glad we're not getting blizzarded.

I just had roasted brussels sprouts for dinner, roasted with garlic and chickpeas. Yum.

I am going to have to try to make the roasted asparagus, and also kale chips.

I am already roasted cauliflower's bitch.

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

Here's an incomprehensible map of US kinkiness. I mean, seriously, how illegible is it to combine the colour values for two different axes in one space? And then not to indicate which end of the value means what. And to go not by state but by district or some shit.

These are answers I'd love to know! Along with a definition of the word "kink".

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Stay safe and warm, folks!
