No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Tis 81 here at 7pm. I turned the AC on for a bit this afternoon.

We're at 78. But it is DRY. I was airing out the house while it was still in the 80s, because the dry made 80s more comfy than 78. Supposed to drop to the low 50s tonight.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson best not diss my Clyde Tombaugh. He can demote Pluto, but DO NOT diss Clyde.

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

So if someone on another board says they know a black West Indian/Irish woman named ita who lived in LA in the early 2000s who did the martial arts (and was pretty, but that's not important) and she posted on TT, now's the time to get really paranoid, right? Either she knows me, or there's severe doppleganger action going on.

Because, seriously, switch Irish for Scottish and bump a few years, all I need o hear that she had blonde hair. She does spell her name with a small "i".

Curse these nom des plumes.

Funny. Watching this, every time Percival Lowell is mentioned, I remember the taste of sourdough, ham and dill havarti. I used to eat my lunch (that sandwich) on the steps of his mausoleum (in the shape of an observatory) at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff the summer of '96.

eta: this is what it looked like back then: [link] Has a glass cover over the dome now.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

She posted on TT but that person wasn't aware of you? You were all over TT, right?

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

But where I'm posting now, I'm not posting as ita on io9. I just revealed my name on topic in a discussion we were having and she was all "I know another black chick like you--you're not that special!" I might be extra special, or completely duplicated. Dunno.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

ita's got an evil twin!

Or is ita the evil twin?

ION, Is it just me, or has this been a really long short week?

I'm guessing you're extra special.

Oh, so not dissing Clyde. They have Patsy! She's always been awesome, I loved her to pieces. [link]

ita, that's...weird.
