Timelies all!
Am back from Boskone, which was fun. Saw Theodosia and DX Machina there. Dance practice tonight, which I must attend, as I am signed up for the gig we have on Saturday.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

One of my officemate's students was in his office hours today because she's been having some trouble with the material. When she was clearly just giving a token effort on a problem, he told her that she had to work harder, and she replied that, since she's a woman in engineering, and there are so few women in engineering, she'll get hired easily even if she isn't as good as everyone else, so she doesn't have to put in all that effort.
The anthropomorphic representation of the Society of Women Engineers just got sick to its stomach and doesn't know why.
Stupid little girl!
Sigh.
Oh wow, is she in for a wakeup call.
Loki is fricking insane tonight. Either he has a secret 'nip stash I don't know about (I came down the other morning to catnip strewn all over the floor. I have no idea where he found it,) or it is the weather. Halloween catting from one end of the house to the other.
So Gaddafi just gave a fifteen second speech on TV denying that he left the country.
Was he standing in front of the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the speech? (Okay, actually there is nothing funny at all about bombing your own civilian population.)

He was—I’m not making this up—inside a car, wearing an Elmer Fudd hat, holding an umbrella. You’re right: under different circumstances, it would be hilarious.
Edit: photo
Thanks for the photo Tom. I was trying to figure out how he fit the open umbrella inside the car.
