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

he literally looks like a hobbit in comparison.

They all have really small feet?

This page [link] is golden, wherein they discuss pros and cons of tattooing with magnetic ink and making their bodies circuit boards. These are absolutely not the cutting edge of body hacking in an ultra Gibsonian way, these are people intent on removing themselves from the gene pool, one limb at a time. Reading a couple pages, if you'd pressed a tattoo gun into all their hands, they sound like they'd prefer to live-test (on their off arm, or legs) their hypotheses rather than reread them.

Good lord, those people are idiots. Not in the least because they keep talking about homemade tattoo guns.

It's probably not the best time for me to do this considering that I just started a new job today, but I feel like I've been letting my brain atrophy. I signed up for two intro classes this fall:

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

...I've heard of the guy running it! He's an expert on feathered dinosaurs, done a fair bit of work in China.

You may have just gained a classmate.

Sorry your Allstate office are idiots. In terms of eggs, I'm with the egg lovers. I love poached and soft boiled which are the two eggiest eggs you can have. But I love highly spiced eggs too - omelettes or scambled with super hot hot sauce or curry powder. And in between like, omelettess with mild herbs and cheese. And all the other variations - you can pretty much assume that if eggs are the main ingredient, I like it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My DH is going to be getting back late from a trip on my bday next week, so I'm working late. Yay for working until 9 pm on my birthday.

That looks fun, shrift! I'm trying Duolingo, myself, for French. [link] I have it on my phone and can do my daily session while walking the cat. I've managed to be fairly consistent for about a month now, which is a self study record for me and languages.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay for working until 9 pm on my birthday.

I don't think yay is what you were looking for there?

If I have a cold, I'm going to be so pissed. I woke up with a sore throat and maybe I'm a little congested, but so far I'm pretending it was from somehow sleeping with my mouth open? Not that this has ever happened before....
