Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

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.

Oh, old job, I thought I had quit you. There's nothing quite so motivating as having no one to ask when trying to remember the right tables for a query.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sending you much love, Jesse.

Distractions needed? We went to see the Endeavour today. It was pretty impressive.

It feels like very little from over here, but I'm glad we can be present for you over the internet, Jesse.

Oh, wow, I love those coffee portraits a lot! Gorgeous.

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

Shit! I just disappeared for an hour and a half, apparently. Intern gave me some screens to grammar check.

90 minutes later...thank god I did some stuff before the boss asked for it. How behind would I be now? This wasn't on my list!

Seriously, it's not just that English isn't his first language so he mightn't be the right fit--one screen had Username user name and User Name on it. The buttons change from Next on the first two screens to Continue on the rest. There's nothing on the slides that would even begin to...

Who writes their email address as 'tiringita@gmail.com'? A developer, clearly. But I can tell it's a string without delimiters!

Shit. Where was my list of stuff I was actually to do today?

OH! I have outrage not associated with the job.

Look at the comments here: [link]

Why would you do that bullshit? Tumblr and Wordpress too yesterday?

Let's see what raising it to B&N's attention might do.

What the heck? If you want to do online role playing then more power to you, but the comments for a serious book is not the place.

I almost feel like I recognize that tactic. Not specifically for book reviews but just invasive off-topic cat-related shenanigans. From back in the 90s, which would be some impressive staying power for a virtual anarchist collective.

Our wings are not tired.

I went ahead and flagged them all. The hell? I don't even understand.

I was feeling vaguely unwell and thought I might just go to bed, but I realized I hadn't had any fruit today, so I decided to go out back and pick some grapes.

Found a good couple of bunches [link] and noticed the pond was looking low, so I filled it up. So since I was doing that, I figured it would be a good time to recork the container water garden. And while that was filling I might as well pick some blackberries, which for several reasons I prefer to eat hot off the bushes rather than gathering a bucketful and making them into something. And the potted plants needed watering.

And now I feel much better. Huh.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Typo, that's awesome!
