I have come to the conclusion that I use the Internet differently from the people who review technology in the media. Do I use it wrong? No idea. Just differently.

I don’t know what to make of the similarities between the original Battlestar Galactica and Star Wars: A New Hope. Cross-pollination of ideas? Common source material? Does anybody know?

Midas is a brake and muffler repair chain. They actually do a good job of brakes, or did a few years ago!

I wonder why they went with midas, though.

Dear gynecologists of the world,
Asking about sexual intercourse is the wrong question.
You probably want to know about
penetration
orgasm
or fluid/semen exchange
but in fact “sexual intercourse” is not synonymous with any of the above. Not to mention it requires all sorts of uncomfortable discussions about “please define sexual intercourse for the purposes of this question”.
So please, in the...

Dear male-assigned people,
If you act like a patriarchal dickwad, I usually assume you are one.
If you don’t want people to assume this, it helps if you don’t act like one.
Love, me.

Bob Ross is the most affirming, inspirational...
I love the way he talks about how it’s okay to be weird, how it’s okay to do things the way you want… earlier he was talking about how he doesn’t worry about understanding beautiful things, he just enjoys them.
It’s your world, and you can do it any way you like.
And now my right arm has gone out at the shoulder. I can’t even wrap presents, much less finish knitting them. Damn.

lacunamatata replied to your photo: Can you spot what made me snicker?
You can volunteer officially to come, now? Oh man.
APPARENTLY SO.
And then you can volunteer for facilities to clean up after the C.O.M.E. volunteers.
I should not be laughing this hard. Really, I should not.
(Apparently it stands for “Community Outreach Ministry Efforts” or something like that. Am I the only...

I hate when I re-read something I wrote at 3am (or worse, 4am… or 6am…) and go “wtf is going on here? I don’t understand. I have no clue even what I thought I was writing, but whatever it was… this isn’t it, because this is barely even comprehensible, much less coherent story.”

Woke up.
Called the surgeon’s office back.
Moved laundry to dryer.
Put laundry in washer and started it.
Loaded dishwasher and ran it.
Washed handwash-only skillet. Got years of grime off the bottom. (ew, mom, just ew)
Washed sink.
Now I hurt everywhere and want to cease to exist.
After a year of using fountain pens almost exclusively, ballpoint pens feel really weird in my fingers.
I can’t even make my fingers grip this one right.
Dear homeless guy at the post office
I am not avoiding you because you are homeless. I was avoiding you because you are smoking. Now I am also avoiding you because you are yelling at me.
Stop yelling and smoking and you might have more luck.
No love, me.
Just got called sir by the USPS employee. I am amused (and bemused, because I’m not exactly hiding my mammary glands).
I think I kind of like this.
Restoring my home directory on my laptop. PotterShare peeps, this means — if this works — I should finally be back tonight. Also means I can start work on fic again!
No wonder I couldn’t find my hat. It was hiding under the three pounds of raw Merino fleece in my front seat.
Fiber problem? Nah.

Ironically, I dislike reading Spirk fic
Because I have a deep attachment to the way we conceived of their relationship when we were young, and to various Pocket Books novels published around that time.
Because I hate the way shippy fic tends to reduce relationships to being all about the sex. Like two characters can’t obviously love each other and prove it, regularly, without having wild alien sex in between every scene. Or...
