Natter 69: Practically names itself.  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Gah! Programmer on one of my projects just came to me because he needed managerial approval on something. Get out, get out, get out! I'm not a manager. Not even the PM. Just the business systems analyst.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

So the reason I thought there were no new Natter posts today is I forgot to subscribe to the new thread. Oops.

NYC also has interest on the security deposit - I was shocked as HELL when I actually got it back on our first apt.

When I was renting in Evanston (as a student), the landlords were all pretty shady and so I just let the security deposit be the last month's rent. (Technically against the terms of the lease, but nobody ever complained.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee, there's never no natter. Even when there's no Natter, there's natter.

Glad Grace's surgery went well.

Sorry to have caused everyone's tired day! If it helps, I didn't sleep any at all, damned period, until five. And I just woke up now. Sucks.

Yay for good optometry appointment. I'm so pleased you've done so well.

I never use those pockets. Well, unless you count in my winter coat, where I use all the pockets and look like the staypuft man, but have enough gear to survive winter camping.

The place I work in, but not for has made The Atlantic Blogs: [link]

These are old pics from nitrate negatives that were scanned last year. Several of them are by Nova Scotians who traveled the world, so they are from all over. They're hoping that they can use crowd-sourcing to identify people, places and ships in some of the pictures.

Because books.

Sue, those are gorgeous.

Hope you and Grace are resting, Kat.

So glad the surgery went well, Kat.

One more of a thousand reasons to love jeans -- all the pockets!

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

I don't use those pockets.

I also forgot to wear pink.

I blame the tomoxifen for at least one of those things.

I think we should make tomorrow boot day though. I won't forget!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, those pictures are gorgeous.

Thinking about crowd sourcing old stuff makes me remember that I keep meaning to do the NYPL project of transcribing old restaurant menus: [link]
