To me, it always looks gold and white on Buzzfeed, but in a crummy grayish sort of way that makes it simultaneously look like it's more a problem with the photo than the actual color of the dress; on FB, it usually looks blue and black (though the one definitively blue-black picture I showed to Matilda as a test, she instantly said -- I hadn't told her what color(s) it might be or asked her *which*, just *what* -- "Gold and white, of course!"); on other sites it looks either, variously and randomly (but the white/gold always looks a little off and bleachy and bad-ebay-photo-y.

Except that it never changes - I can scroll up or scroll down or go to another tab and back again, in different lights at different angles, but whatever color set I saw first is the same color set I see on that particular screen every time. My rods and cones are clearly quite stubborn.

ION, the reply all function for a recent email chain about noise level management in our open office has led a lot of 60something doctors to discover the pleasure of digressive conversation about anything and everything non-work-related, so someone else is setting up a "chat" email chain so the rest of us can get actual work done. If someone busts out cilantro or the Oxford comma, they will have officially recreated Natter.

I think the dress' actual color must be blue, because it clearly comes secondhand after being worn by the Devil. [link]

The article I read said the real dress is blue/black and had a separate picture of what looked like the dress, and it was blue/black. Maybe that's what tripped my brain. Every picture I see now is blue/black. I feel betrayed, and I want to see the white/gold again so I can compare.

In Leonard Nimoy news, NPR news put his death as the lead story before the possible closure of Homeland Security. I felt it appropriate.

RIP Leonard Nimoy. I'm glad I got to meet Bill Shatner earlier this month; now I feel like I got lucky.

RIP Leonard Nimoy

Oh, no. Good-bye, you wonderful man. Thank you for giving me my lifelong role model.

I saw it as only White and Gold, watched the video that Scola posted last night, and now cannot unsee it as Black and Blue. It's bizarre.

The dress of the damned flips back and forth between white/gold and blue/black for me.

I just emailed the StuntHusband, who is a huge Trek geek, to see how he's holding up with the news of Leonard Nimoy.

It still makes me very angry to have to check a "single" box on any form. It is not how I think of myself.

This. So very much this.

What makes me sad is having to check the box marked "widow/widower." Just keep rubbing it in.

That picture of Leonard Nimoy ... he looks kind of weird without the pointy ears.
