Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Look at you, Perkins! With the hair to do and all!

I just read The Poisoner's Handbook , which I highly recommend, and I now know so much about the horrors of the alcohol that brought about the creation of Prohibition-era cocktails that at the moment a gimlet does not appeal.

Aren't you scared of like almost everything now??? Everything was poison! (I probably shouldn't say this, but it will be coming to American Experience next year or so.)

Oh, and in news about me, I love it when a plan comes together. I got to the waiting room for my 5:05 eye doctor appointment at 5:03, and to the cobbler that closes at 6 at 5:55. Perfect! Also, the eye doctor was hilarious (youngish, newly back in town, looking for recommendations of places to go), and I remembered to ask for the pupilary (?) measurement the online glasses places need. Woot!

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

Timelies all!

It can warm up and stay warm any day now...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I had a dental appt today. My dentist isn't hilarious but he is nice and he's smoking hot. Also he fixed the chip in the porcelain part of my crown without, say, redoing the thing. Just filed it. So I'm pro-my dentist right now. The fact that he's smoking hot is icing on the cake.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Another secondspin question: does the disk surface have to be absolutely pristine?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Wow, sometimes I'm dense. I've been wondering why all of Leonard Nimoy's tweets end in LLAP. I finally looked up LLAP. How did I not guess that?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh. OH. Duh.

Heh.

Yay for good dentists. Mine offered me $50 if I write him a good review on Yelp, because there are some bad ones up there, but I haven't had a problem....

If I reviewed my dentist on Yelp, I'd need an editor and sanity check. Because I get all anxiety ridden and have my mouth topically numbed for the cleaning and have my iPod playing soothing music (Danger Days!) and then a pretty, pretty man fixed my problem with only minimal freaky noises and no pain.

Given that Dr. G already smoking hot, I am kinda duckling imprinted on him right now and I think my eyes are just throbbing hearts. Or that's the allergies talking.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You are braver than I. I can see no good way to combine sharp implements in my mouth with the degree of bouncing around that is reliably prompted by "Planetary (GO!)".
