I know no one else still watches Glee (wise choice), but did we know that Ioan Gryffud could sing?
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Woo, there's nothing like being the only subject-matter expert who isn't on vacation this week.

Well, it was just a screening interview with a recruiter. Went okay. Guess I'll hear something in a week or so, if they want to bring me in to talk to a hiring manager.
Bah.

It is the time of bliss in MyCompany Tech Support--time to breathe between calls, actual lunch hours, good odds of getting off at the scheduled quitting time. The extra stuff to keep track of is up to date, not quite so many catastrophes in the land.
From here until January is my favorite time of year.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Going to a concert tonight. I've never seen or heard this performer, but a friend of ours in AZ has apparently raved about him, so here we go.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Seconding the job~ma.
Also, holy God, will this day never end?
And it's about to get longer because I have to step away from FB, because more (non-Buffista) friends are being distressing. This time over whether Katy Perry was doing geisha drag last night and whether, if she was, it was offensive or not.
The general consensus on which, including among people of whom I thought better, is: "Of course not! It's beautiful artistry! People are just looking to be offended! If you're right, then obviously I have the right to be offended every time a Japanese person wears jeans! My dad's buddy in the service brought me back a wee kimono when I was four, so that made me a TODDLER RACIST, right? OMG, I'm mixed-race, so now I have to quit Dickens Fair because I'm appropriating, right? Why are people so sensitive about nothing? IT WAS JUST PRETTY GET OFF MY BACK STOP RUINING EVERYTHING PRETTY YOU RUINERS." O, for a bingo card.
I also feel guilty because there are two other people trying gingerly to push back against it all, and I feel like I'm abandoning them by stepping away, but I just can't even.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
JZ,
all this is made worse by KP in an interview [link] saying (jokingly, but in WAY WAY poor taste)
“I am obsessed with Japanese people,” Perry said. “I love everything about them and they are so wonderful as human beings.”
But then she took it up a notch.
“I’m so obsessed I want to skin you and wear you like Versace,”
