You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

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

Me, too! And re-watch last night's Sherlock. Get over here and we'll do it!

Ooh, I should rewatch Sherlock too!

What I really should do is put them on the ipad so I can watch on that.

You need to come to SF again soon!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

You need to come to SF again soon!

The big ADD conference is in SF this year (possibly October? November?), and Tim's group will pay for his hotel and his registration for the conference, so we're talking about going. It's more likely than not. (Except my problem is that I'm going to want to go to the conference, too, because that shit fascinates me. Or, at least, some of it does. Neurobiology gives me a big science boner.)

So -- it could very likely happen this year! It has been TOO LONG.

I'm steaming mad today. In an unhealthy way.... between my students cheating and my swimmer's high wearing off and my upset with Noah being a toad...

sigh.

I need to get get get over it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So sweet.

Gah. Got a little something in my eye here...

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Can someone explain the 50SoG thing to me. I seem to have been under a rock.

Family session at the hospital today. I am not looking forward.

{{{msbelle}}} I've been thinking about you and mac. So much ~ma for both of you.

Because books.

Family meaning you and mac, or you and mac and your parents and all? Hang in there, lady.

Fifty Shades of Grey was originally Twilight fanfic, although it was an AU with Bella as a student and Edward as an older (like, 28) businessman who wants her to be his sex slave. The author published it online in fanfic communities, and then published it as an original e-book with the names changed, etc.

Then Vintage or whoever got wind of it, and snapped it up and put all three books out simultaneously. The media is behaving as if women reading erotica is a WHOLE NEW THING and they're calling it, charmingly, "mommy porn."

("Charmingly" should be in sarcasm font, for the record.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I think I saw the second book in the store ... I'm blanking on the title, though.
