The third book of the Divergent series is firmly in the latter category.
If only that was its only problem.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

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.

not your mom's socks.
Is little and broken, but still good.
Love this always.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Comos is on, y'all! I love the idea of thousands of nerds all over the country watching it in unison. (Yes, I know about DVRs and the usefulness of being able to time-shift TV viewing. Still, I like thinking that I'm watching Neil deGrasse Tyson with a bunch of fellow nerds.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I would probably just do the 10 minutes, Zen. I don't know if power and time are related linearly or what (though I suppose I could think about the physics and figure it out, if my brain was really working today, which I don't think it is), and I doubt it really makes that much difference.

Don't forget about time zones, Tep.

Punishingly Intricate
Ben-formerly-of-next-door got a sweet deal on a clawfoot from...I think Second Chances? It's a beauty. I don't know if he had to refinish it or not, I assume so.
Bob and our contractor friend went to Second Chance today and actually bought a tub that was in good enough shape that we won't need to reglaze it. It was more $$, of course, but also came with all the hardware and plumbing whatnot and now we don't have to organize getting the tub glazed. It's sitting on our porch right now! Classy!! Demo work is due to start on the 17th. Contractor friend claims it will all take a week but I find that hard to believe.
I have never actually seen Lilo & Stitch! That's one I'll have to remember for when I can't figure out what to watch.

Don't forget about time zones, Tep.
Oh, I know. I'm watching in solidarity with my Eastern Time Zone nerds. And later we can all geek out about it together.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, lisah! It's taken forever for my parents' bathroom to get done, but at least it works now! (They are still waiting on delivery of the new vanity and medicine cabinet.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'm having preliminary Cosmos flails and I don't even have cable. So I actually have to figure out how I am going to watch. Still, OMG, Cosmos.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'm loving Cosmos muchly, especially the animation they're using to show historical events.
