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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But it doesn't show the number of notes on the posts does it?

No, it doesn't. I think it's kind of dumb but pretty, and am not overly loyal to it, if you want to make suggestions. Almost 10K now. It's not even a great post! I mean, it's a great story, but the picture should be bigger and/or there should be more of them.

I just reblogged it. (I meant to earlier today, but meetings and stuff happened.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I did make sure I posted it on Facebook through the tumblr, but my followers are not so numerous or loyal as Jilli's

I also wish the comma and the apostrophe were on the top level of the iPhone keyboard. And I wish I could get the Cookie Monster version od Call Me Maybe ( which always reminds me of Call Me Madam ) out of my head.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

That biker story is beautiful.

I just got the word that the remaining work on my apartment will start Monday. Thus begins project Move Everything Out of the Bedroom. I should cull the closet.

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

I will look around this weekend, Jesse.

Has anyone ever posted to omg.yahoo.com? I've commented on an article, and the comments appear for five or ten minutes, and then they go away--is there an incubation period. or am I hallucinating all of this?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, dear. My mom just sent me a link to some weird website, asking me if I knew anything about it, because she'd thought the link looked weird when it was sent to her and even weirder after she clicked on it and tried to log in just like it told her to.

Sigh. I foresee a long, long tense phone call and a painful remote log-in and hard drive scrubbing for my baby brother tonight. I wonder if I should call and warn him?

eta: Oh, thank goodness. I cautiously checked out the link, without logging in, and it turns out that "weird" and "even weirder" mean "ornate and flowery and possibly slightly stoned," and it seems to be the blog of a friend of a friend. Weird, but not malicious. Still, what was she doing trying to log onto some site she didn't recognize, sent from an apparent stranger? Bad computer hygeine!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Bikers Against Child Abuse made me teary. My BFF posted that on LJ yesterday and I called her and we sniffled over it, then I posted it on LJ and FB but I have no idea how to post anything to Tumblr without reblogging, so now I've reblogged it from GoodStuff and now it's on all my social media.

Things like that revive my belief in the worth of humanity.

Man, some people weird. One of the testers, in trying to do a performance test on our system, came up across a particularly nasty and elusive error we've been trying to track to its source for months, but the developers can't duplicate it in a controlled environment. But the tester can, and has--repeatedly. So much so, that he can't complete his performance testing.

I drag a developer over to him and his screens full of error and resist the urge to bang their heads together, because the tester has never done me wrong, but eventually the developer comes back to me, helpless, because the tester wasn't generating errors in any places he was tracing the code.

Does this really take an entire extra person to move to the next step on? Seriously?

I love Rescue Ink, as well, big burly scary types looking after critters.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

...what's the inoffensive verb for Shanghai?

Wrangle? Draft? Press-gang? Dragoon?
