Allyson, I would so be in on that kickstarter. I know Anita Sarkeesian a little -- met her at a party, spent two hours talking fic, SGA, and BSG with her, and I post sometimes at her blog--and she so doesn't deserve the shit she's getting. They've even tracked down her mother.

Can you imagine?

Oh, and they're going after the people who are funding the Kickstarter, too.

he tapped me gently on both the forearm and the thigh to emphasise points he was making.

WRONG. BZZZZZT. Especially the thigh touch. The only way I would touch a coworker would be maybe on the shoulder, just to get their attention--and I would never touch a potential client. Ever.

Adam Baldwin blushing is hilarious.

I guess the arm is OK? It seems salesman-ish to me. But it would put me off, personally.

Zachary Levi is the definition of adorkable.

Also, laundry done, peas shelled, green beans trimmed.

I hate doing laundry in the summer. I'm drying my sheets right now and the apartment feels like a sauna.

(Clothes, I'll hang to dry when it's this hot, but I don't have anywhere big enough to dry a set of sheets. So the dryer it is.)

The dryer in my building still doesn't work, so I just did a hang-dry load. Next weekend I'll go to the laundromat with towels and etc. Good times.

I work in a pretty touchy field, but the hand to the small of the back (or sustained hand gripping the elbow/upper arm) always surprises me. It just feels possessive. The men I've encountered who do that do it to everyone so I didn't take it personally but it still felt a little weird.

so, this kickstarter project might be the most successful in the history of kickstarter because I think I'd donate. and then donate again and again until the kickstarter closed.

I can't be the only one.

I know someone would send the kickstarter (no pun intended?) against me before too long, so I might not donate. It would be self-defeating.
