Good things, Dana.
The Mersenne Prime sounds like alien royalty. Stage a Doctor Who shot?
Dark and weird dreams last night.
Good lord! That is very detailed and unsettling. And cinematic.
It's a mixed blessing.
Ayup.
Mal: Okay. She won't be winning any beauty contests anytime soon. But she is solid. Ship like this, be with ya 'til the day you die. Zoe: 'Cause it's a deathtrap.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Erin, if you want to try for those points, there's a distributed computing effort (a la SETI@home) to find the 48th. I went to wikipedia when I got the list.

Also basic social skills question. I have written an article on a serious subject with an occasional flash of smartass. Not Allyson or the original Kristen or Miracleman level of smartass, but a bit here and there. However the publication I'm submitting to seems to confine all their smartass to one columnists, with the rest of their stuff being pretty humor free. Should I:
1) Cut out everything witty, basically following Dr. Johnson's advice?
2) Ask the publication before submission? I can't really think of a tactful way to phrase this question to them.
3) Submit with smartass intact and hope?
And yes I do want to write for this periodical.

I say if it's an occasional flash, keep it. They can edit that out, but there's always a chance they're looking for a new voice.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My grandmother has two infections, and my family is about ready to punch her doctor. They tried calling him several times starting Monday, and never heard back from him before Thursday, when she went to the hospital.

No advice, but good luck, TB.
Dana, punching sounds entirely justified.
Speaking of Justified, I just saw a promo!! Raylan and Boyd walking down an alley together, shooting. Whee!! Back in January. Seeing that almost makes up for being at the laundromat with Eagle Eye to watch and no wifi.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Dana, that is awful. I can see where you would feel the urge to punch.
{{{Pix}}} I'm sorry.
Gronk. We went and looked at houses all day today. I really wasn't expecting this to be as exhausting as it is. Tonight's dinner is arugula pesto. We're trying to clear out the fridge before heading to Mom's for the weekend. So I should probably roast the rest of the root vegetables tomorrow.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Health and doctor ~ma for your grandmother, Dana. Good grief.
Typo, I suggest 3). Let them edit you if they want; don't edit yourself. Also, that first dream is a beaut! That would make a great movie.

Oh Pix, wanted to send you much ~ma for a good, pain free recovery.

Urrrgh. Gave myself a migraine forgetting to take my AD again. I think it might be bedtime.
