Awake, and Tom has no coffee.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

a) Tom's awake now, so coffee soon
b) It's frigging gorgeous here today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Poor up-early Lee!
I am such a nerd. I finally gave in and subscribed to the NYTimes crossword puzzle online last night, and I've since done M-F of last week, and also most of today's Sunday puzzle.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Crosswords make me feel stoopid. I can't finish a third of the Monday puzzle.
I sent Lee off on her own to obtain coffee. I'm not sure that was a good idea.

I figure if I'm going to tell people I'm in training to be a competitive crossword... doer (which I have, recently), I'd better step it up! I don't think it's a matter of smartness, just a certain kind of skill and knowledge.

I survived! and now I have coffee.
I never got into crosswords, because it was always my mom and sister's thing.

WRT to crosswords,
I have never gotten into them before, but now that I spend 3 - 4 hours a day attached to a breast pump, I do crosswords online like mad. I am not smart enough to do the grownup ones, so instead I do the NYT childsized ones online because they are free and I am able to finish.
At this point, I've done them in order down to the Science group (I'm on Electricity and Magnetism). But online is so much easier than pencil and paper.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Another quiet Sunday here. This is a good thing, after the con. (and next weekend we're going to New Jersey for Live Earth)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
mac is doing animal wars and wants to know what can beat a whale?
Exxon Valdez? Or, giant squid.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Or, giant squid.
Actually giant squid is just whale food as it turns out.
All those epic battles are basically the squid hanging on to the whale's jaw like a toddler tantrum where he's hanging onto the doorframe. "No, no, no, no! Don't eat me! Noooooo......"
