Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Thrive to spite them

It's not really nerdy but I went to see if there was any info about the Shelburne Museum's next season exhibit "Time Machines: Robots, Rockets, and Steampunk".

So far nothing, but I can't wait (it opens in May).

Now tagless for your comfort.

My friend's five year old daughter got grounded from Minecraft and she wrote Notch a letter that her dad posted to Reddit.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

OK, I just did something nerdy. I pitched Henry & Glenn Forever to my bartender.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Nerdiest thing I've done lately is spend nearly 2 days working on a drawing for Misha Collins's scavenger hunt.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Nerdiest?

I just added some more tasks to the new site: [link] I figured out how to create a pdf document of my most recent instapaper articles (and I read the pdf!), I watched 2 NOVA episodes on the origins of the universe.

I have to get some nerd points for those items.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

What's the nerdiest thing you've done lately?

Made that mini witch hat fascinator for the Yule Ball.

Because books.

Some gorgeous tattoos.

The shading on those is incredible.

Punishingly Intricate

Nerdiest thing I've done lately is spend nearly 2 days working on a drawing for Misha Collins's scavenger hunt.

Ha! I was going to stay cut off all circulation in my feet and hands for the flipping scavenger hunt.

eta And I don't even really understand who Misha Collins is!

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

NERDS!

(I can't think of anything.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I have been repeating "mah na mah na" at various intervals for over 24 hours now, which my husband seems to feel is nerdy.
