Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

4 hour commute this morning, woo. Tomorrow, I either take the express bus (which might still take 4 hours, but I can sleep or text if I want to) or stay home.

The last time it took me this long to get to/from work was during the transit strike. Fun times, people, fun times.

Downtown Manhattan is eerily dark and empty. Or rather, not empty, because people are out on the streets, but since there's no electricity no businesses are open. The first traffic signal I saw this morning was at 28th St.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Um... huh.

Fembot costume includes smoking nipples - Hack a Day

The greatest of Halloween costumes start with an idea, but they’ve also got to have strong execution to pull the whole thing off. This year [Johanna Jenkins] decided to put together a Fembot Halloween costume which is a wonderful example of this concept. Going as a Fembot from Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery sounds like a lot of fun right off the bat, but a bit of work at the sewing machine and access to a wig shop in Hollywood really brought it to the next level. But [Johanna] didn’t stop at that. The Fembots have machine guns in their bras. After they’ve torn through all of their ammo they’re left with smoking barrels as nipples, and that final touch even made it into the costume. In the video after the break you can see [Johanna] showing off the small battery operated fog system she piped into the costume bra.

I am impressed.

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

I already got two anonymous questions.

Me too!

It's because I'm mysterious and unknowable.

Me too

?

I can be mysterious and unknowable if I want to!

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

Okay, so I did finally check my mail on the way out to lunch, and wahoo! I am totally a puddle of fangirl right now. And I don't have anyone in meatspace to show it to and wibble...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Definite yay-worthy!

I found a picture of my aunts house on the Shore - taken from the air. I can confirm they still had a roof and a garage, though some neighbors aren't as lucky. Also a couple blocks away appears to have burned!
