From waaaay back - that picture of the two Starbucks was pre-airing of the new BSG. And those who have less than warm fuzzy feelings about Dirk Benedict, it may have been because of this essay he wrote: [link] Here's one colorful quote: "Men hand out cigars. Women `hand out' babies. And thus the world, for thousands of years, has gone round."
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Unrelatedly, I'm editing something on genetics that uses the word "mendelian" (as in Gregor Mendel). The AMA style guide says it should be lower-case, but then goes on to say that editors should defer to -- specifically -- "the latest edition of Merriam-Webster."
What? Why the hell wouldn't you capitalize it? I look askance at you, AMA style guide.

Unsurprisingly, I totally agree.

I have already given it the stinkeye.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Cat Opening a Box
As stupid as Perkins the cat is, he does something very similar when he want to get fed or played with, but he uses his paws instead of his teeth.

Did you guys know that sinus headaches are actually migraines?
Oh my fucking G-d, yes. Gnng.
I found TT because of a (former) friend of mine who used to post there.
Plei, it is so weird to think back to that Goth Thrifting day and realize that we hadn't talked much before that.

Did you guys know that sinus headaches are actually migraines?
I didn't know this, but I do now. And I'm not surprised. Explains a bunch.
Still coughing and wheezing. Do. Not. Want.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Hey, ita looks like you've got a neighbor moving. Telegraph, do you like your management co?
Telegraph is how the iPhone renders relatedly.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Did you guys know that sinus headaches are actually migraines?
You know, I don't think I knew that specifically. Which means sometimes I waste time trying to figure out which kind of headache is making me want to weep.
Sudafed (real, red) is getting me through Spring. It's not pretty, but I haven't bruised my head trying to rub the pain out when I take it.

That last cat yowl on the video sounds a little like, "Thanks. You're dismissed now."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Telegraph, do you like your management co?
Management co is pretty decent. I haven't had to interface with them much, which is nice. And they haven't raised my rent recently. So, good.
I got theraflu pills and Aleve D. We'll see. So far I can breathe through my nose which is magical, but what hurts still hurts, and I feel dessicated.
