Big planes are going by overhead. I don't know if they're patriotic flyovers or tankers for the wildfires.
Oh, look at the pretties!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OBVIOUSLY Dreamgirls is not crap. It's just not that patriotic. And I guess I hate Keith Lockhart? So he taints the whole affair.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Google is much better than Tineye, even though it does seem to have kinks. It lets you sort your results by size, tells you what words are the best to use to return that picture, and then lists all the web pages where you can find it, as well as "similar" photos--which go from really very nifty for me (other shots of the same guy in beards or glasses or whatever) to interesting (pictures of other guys with beards, similarly posed and dressed) to whuh (I give you Jared Padalecki, you give me beach babes? Okay, I'll play...)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Jilli, do NOT read the Jillifont. I shall thwap if you do. Don't. Everything is fine and the Jillifont is totally outside and everything is fine. Don't read it. Okay?
Okay.
There is a huge spider web on the outside of my screen door. Massive. I thought there were just a few little ones and that's totally fine with me if the spiders are outside but the angle of the sunlight just let me walk around and see that there is a big web out there. I don't see the owner. So long as they live a happily outdoorsy life, we're good. Beautiful so long as I never see the owner inside.
My eyes are really itchy. I need to go use allergy drops.
I think the National Geographic Explorer in Residence thing makes me almost forgive James Cameron for the money I paid to see Titanic. The science is cool and he really is fascinated by the deep oceans. So that was a $10 or whatever that was well spent, in amazing retrospect. I was bitter for a long time. Apparently my patriotism is watching National Geographic channel tonight?

ita, in Chrome I can just drag and drop an image into the regular google images search and it searches by image. Does that work for you?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
as well as "similar" photos--which go from really very nifty for me (other shots of the same guy in beards or glasses or whatever)
Cool!
Yeah, when I last used TinEye, it just searched for copies of the exact photo you entered. It could also find smaller and bigger versions of the same photo. Looks like that's all it still does. (But it is useful for finding the original source of a particular image.)

le nubian, that's awesome! I'm curious about what affordable means in that context.
I'm tempted to buy a waterproof ipod since I washed my nano and ruined it. Waterproof would mean able to swim with it.

ION, highlight of my day was a 98 year old former dentist playing "Happy Birthday" for my mom on accordion.

That's cool.
OK, now it's pouring, the fireworks are happening, and I'm going to bed.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
huh, so attempting bedtime 5 min before the fireworks started, not my best planning.
