Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness. Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Punishingly Intricate

I've been remarkably lucky with bosses, I think. At least the ones I report to directly.

Just don't start lying to people (above or below you in the chain) to (try to) make yourself look better.

I really do not like lying so that shouldn't be a problem.

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

I have tried Botox, tommy. It worked, in that it took away many of the facial expressions I used to teach krav, but I don't know that it clearly removed pain.

I think tessera from way back when had it done and it worked for her. Not suire if she's still on it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The other thing is that until I interact with other people, I think I am totally incompetent. Then I see what they are doing!

Oh, yeah.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Maybe that is what Yeats meant by "The best lack all ambition and the worst are full of a passionate intensity"

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

Maybe that is what Yeats meant by "The best lack all ambition and the worst are full of a passionate intensity"

Well, that explains why politics in the US sucks....

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

My mother had botox for nerve damage in her shoulder that she sustained during a car accident, but ultimately the only thing that entirely removed the pain was surgery. And a rotator cuff injury is about 1000x simpler to diagnose & treat than migraine.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Maybe that is what Yeats meant by "The best lack all ambition and the worst are full of a passionate intensity"

Heh, I never thought of that line as a slacker manifesto.

I'm pretty sure that Sarah Palin is chock-full of passionate intensity.

Move over tattoos: implantable LEDs light up your skin

Tattoos have been around for ages. They're fine, but where's the innovation? It's been a while since we've seen some big steps forward in the world of body decorations. But hell, flexible, implantable LEDs? Yeah, that's something new.

The LED arrays were developed by John Rogers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and they can twist and stretch by as much as 75%. Coated in thin silicon rubber, they're also waterproof and safe to implant under the skin. That means that you could, in theory, spell out your name in flashing lights under the skin of your back. I'd like to see a traditional tattoo do that.
