Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love eggs like that -- I usually get them that way as a side effect of frying them in the hot bacon fat.

I spent my afternoon going to a funeral in Providence, which was not how I had planned to spend the day, but was well worth doing. The older I get, the more I feel like you should always go to a funeral.

The status is NOT quo.

For those planning to jump back in, I really recommend this season that just ended. Peter Capaldi and the actors playing Nardole and Bill were really great together, and I liked the storylines a lot, especially with Missy in the mix.

Holy crap this is awesome. I think this woman is a secret Buffista: [link]

I feel like Jilli should know her...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Just watched two of her videos. The Everest one was fascinating, and yes, she is awesome!

Eta: Oh, she wrote Smoke Gets In Your Eyes And Other Lessons From The Crematory. [link] I was wondering if that was her. I love that book.

I have discovered the best way to make eggs.

Looks yummy!

Root canal part 2. I hate myself for these 8 am appointments.

Man, Roger Federer's kids are ridiculously adorable. Two sets of twins.

I feel like there's a joke in there somewhere about the power of his serve but I'm not awake enough yet to make it.

I'm sorry, sarameg. Here's hoping it's over quickly and you heal up rapidly.

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

Today's google doodle lets you play cricket.

Does it explain how to play? There are wickets, I know that much.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Ha! On FB, commenting on a friend's post about the Bro tears over the 13th Doctor, some dude I don't know just asked me "What is your Geek fandom?" (Random capitalization is his.) I feel like I leveled up, because I've never been fake geek girl-ed by a random Broheim crying about a fictional alien.

(My reply? "That's cute." Because Brocephus does not get to ask me for receipts. Sheesh.)
