I don't think so.
Whew! That explains why I can't match your score.
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

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.

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

I decided not to Google -- seems like it would be way too easy otherwise.
In other news, FUCK. We have fleas. How do we have fleas? Our cats are both strictly indoor-only. Guess I know what we're doing this weekend. Except that I also have a big freelance project to finish this weekend, that is already going to take up most of my time. Argh.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Is it sad that one of my favorite childhood memories is watching the fleas jump into a soapy bowl of water under a lamp?

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

I wouldn't be able to match your score without google.

I'm trying to work out the best strategies. Check 360. Pick a direction that looks like it will get you to the first signage. Examine the type of trees and work out if we're temperate or tropical. Check the dirt and the horizon. Look at the road markers/signs--are they familiar? How weird is weird (the weirder the more Russian, so far)? Language, alphabet, format of phone numbers. Style of cars. Start at the roof of the building and work down.
What else? I mean, if you don't land in downtown Boston or anything.

I turned out to be really good at ID-ing former soviet republics and eastern Europe. Considering I was in the waning USSR and then Central Europe became my thing, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.l But I was when I'd nail a location in Poland (where I've never been) within 50 miles.

I couldn't do it without googling, I haven't traveled nearly enough. And even googling doesn't always work--Ireland and Australia are so not even close.

It was so pleasing seeing Moldov*** on some piece of signage. But I can't tell Hungarian from Polish, so...
Just finished Scandal--that was fun! I thought the ending wimped out, but it ended with a good twofer.
I just read a conversation where someone was talking about having been to the same university at the same time as Eddie McClintock, but of course they didn't know him, because they were in Comp Sci and he was in...does it matter? People don't cross socialise? Colin was English...something. John Rogers was Physics, but I met him through another Physics student who lived on my floor in residence--they were both comedians. I bonded with more people I met in improv, theatre, and martial arts than computer science students. And most of the comp sci people I knew well were also in the Gamer League with me.
