Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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.

Woo! It looks just the same, but everything is different!

Because books.

When I click my bookmark, the front page is all fucked up -- links to threads repeated, stuff layered on top of each other.

But! I was able to click the Natter thread and get here! Yay.

Did you refresh it?

Because books.

Looks good now!

Watching Amy Adams on Ellen, I don't think I knew that there was supposed to be a Superman with Matt Bomer! He is so perfect for it. (She auditioned for it, as well as the last one, before finally getting this one.)

Also, I texted a friend about possibly cancelling our tentative dinner plans, and he hasn't written back! So I guess that's that.

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

He is so perfect for it.

I think he's too slight. However, he wouldn't have been worse than Routh. I'd rather an actor than a mannequin.

I have no idea how my test gave me the impression that copying the old threads would be quicker than I'd initially estimated. I ended up having to reboot the old server so I could start again from scratch, and the threads had to be exported and then imported no more than four at a time. Just fast enough that there's no point doing anything inbetween, but slow enough that I kept thinking of what I kept being distracted from doing--putting on a pair of warm socks.

Oh, that could be. I mostly meant in the head.
