Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

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 wonder if there are any tintype classes I could find around here? I don't have the resources to own a camera or the other appurtenances (chemicals! darkroom!) but a class where those were supplied would be wonderous.

Snobbery is all well and good, but just getting a recognizable photograph out of that, let alone one that shows off so much character, is no mean achievement.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ah, a rich full breakfast: Valencia orange, pork belly scrambled eggs , and coffee with cream.

I would prefer to now take a nap, but I will go to work instead.

And I just learned that it's "Math, Science & Physics Day" at Six Flags on Friday. Not something I'm going to go to, but what a good idea!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, did you end up getting flowers for your mom?

I did, which was nice, especially since my father was not having a good day and she was already crying when I gave them to her.

Oh, man, that must be hard.

Yeah, it's hard because he's so up and down, and she just whipsaws from great to terrible.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Ugh. Cars are a pain. Tim's car is in the shop getting his brake lines repaired, and last night, driving back from his nephew's graduation, MY brakes got REALLY soft and spongy. (We wondered for about 5 seconds if someone tampered with both of our brake systems, and then we remembered we both drive really old cars.) So he walked to work this morning (it's about a mile and a half) and is going to borrow a truck from work so I can get my car up to the repair place and get myself back home. Boo.

We need to get a new car, but aren't really planning on doing that until later in the year. And these repairs aren't going to change the timeline, because I really don't want to rush into buying a car just because of repairs. But it is lousy timing. And it means we are technically car-less today, which is weird.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My physics class went to that when I was in high school. Lots of fun.

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

Are there any other of you nice peeps that are going to look through my dA collection? I'm going through and making the two recs print-ready ( [link] and [link] They don't allow the sale of fanart, but I'm cheating. It's not exactly complicated.

Because books.

Put up the link again, ita?
