So I went out to dinner with the lawyer from back east and during the dinner she referred to an online community she's been a member of since 1998 and has made some dear friends on.
::looks around suspiciously::
For all I know, she could be in a community centered around a deep love for Ukrainian sheepdogs, but I found it entertaining. And no, I have not revealed my deep familiarity with online community-building. *g*
(L, if you're a lurking Buffista, I promise not to out you.)
Have we heard from ita since earlier this morning? I hope she's sleeping a lot, but I worry.
I don't think so, and ditto.
I slept, logged in to work and slept some more. I feel like wet tissue paper right now. Now for more Gatorade.
This AV Club interview with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost is great, but it has this line in it, this moment where Pegg describes, by way of describing geeks, *exactly* why I love my Buffistas:
"The capacity to acknowledge things at that level of detail and retain it, that’s what geeks are. They see the beauty in tiny, tiny things, and then chat about it."
Perfect.
Glad you slept.
OH! And turns out neighbor is renovating bath and getting rid of his original purple sink. And he'll give it to me! Needs some work (something msbelle's link would cover) but I GET ORIGINAL SINK!
"The capacity to acknowledge things at that level of detail and retain it, that’s what geeks are. They see the beauty in tiny, tiny things, and then chat about it."
Dude, that's like our motto.
