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.

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

Holy crap you guys I'm getting a tax refund from state AND federal this year! I don't think this has happened since DH and I started filing jointly, over a decade ago. (Well, there have been a couple of years where we got tiny refunds from both, but then paid them instantly in filing fees. This is the first year we've gotten REAL money back.)

Of course it's all going to pay off credit card bills, but still. Money!

There's one going around that I'm 99.99% sure is an AFs. Except knowing the possible perpetrator, they might actually hatch something that ambitious AND announce it on 4/1 just to stir uncertainty.

So I'm waiting to let go of that 0.01% until tomorrow.

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

Oh, Christ. I totally "on" (Why do people say that? You're wrong! It's "by"!) accident posted Misha's picture on the provocateuse tumblr on the same day his fans are going so crazy posting him everywhere that the guy who runs Tumblr has noticed.

Are there takebacks? I hope I didn't lose followers...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Somebody I might be about to unfollow on tumblr just posted this, and all I want to do is respond that salt is not a plant.

Because books.

She's full of shit anyway. A nice rare piece of filet mignon tastes delicious completely naked.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I never really liked the taste of meat that much, but that's just stupid. (I'd eat some meat when I was a kid, but I was just as happy with other stuff. The only steak I ever liked was at a really fancy Argentinian restaurant, where it cost something like $50 in 1993. Never liked hamburgers, either.)

I was just about to say. *Good* meat tastes fantastic without any plants (or salt).

It's so stupid! Sigh. The blogger is probably 12 years old and I should cut slack.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

An interesting article on Slate about oxygen: [link] The one that surprised me: without an oxidized layer, metals would spontaneously weld to one another.
