Awesome, Ginger. Once my plans are finalized, I'll ping you.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
so you can join the ladies in the woodshed
Well, this just keeps getting better!
Party in the woodshed!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am enjoying working from home. Especially enjoying mostly not-working from home, as I've been doing the past couple of days!

AIFG!
Except it won't be in a couple weeks, if I keep this up. The more monstrously unreasonable the deadline, the more my lizard brain says, fuck 'em.
My lizard brain should probably not be in charge here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
French/music quesion?
What does "Lo Boob Oscillator" mean in English? (It's the title of a Stereolab song.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I wonder if that's the Stereolab equivalent of having your tit in the wringer.

I don't know if I'm in the woodshed for rolling into work a little after 10, considering that I was here until 8 last night.
I'm getting stuff done, but it's at the speed of molasses.

The Rotating Tit? (I obviously know nothing about French!)
My favorite French song title is "Ta Bouche Est Tabu" by Poi Dog Pondering. It makes a great sort-of palindrome, in that they constantly switch between saying "Ta bouche est tabu" (your kiss is taboo) to "Tabu est ta bouche."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Well, that's a relief - Canadian commemorative quarters definitely not nanotech spy devices, according to Pentagon.
Espionage warnings from the Defence Department caused an international sensation a few years ago over reports of mysterious coins with radio frequency transmitters, until they were debunked.
The culprit turned out to be a commemorative quarter in Canada. But at the height of the mystery, senior Pentagon officials speculated whether Canadians were involved in the spy caper.
"I don't think it is an issue of the Canadians being the bad guys," the Pentagon's counterintelligence chief wrote in an exchange of emails obtained this week by The Associated Press, "but then again, who knows."

Orangutan takes photos, shares them on Facebook
Yes, but does it have any idea what the fuck it's doing?
She's like the Ashton Kutcher of the ape world: An orangutan in the Vienna Zoo now has a Facebook fan page to showcase the photos she takes with a digital camera. The orangutan, named Nonja, uses a Samsung ST 1000 point-and-shoot that automatically uploads the photos.
When this post was published, Nonja had over 9,000 "fans" subscribed to her page.
But there's a catch: Coverage of the camera-toting ape in the U.K.'s Daily Mail explains that the camera has been modified to dispense a raisin whenever the shutter button is pushed. So Nonja is evidently more interested in tasty treats than in artistic endeavors.
The non-orangutan version of the Samsung ST 1000 was released this summer (though not in the U.S.) and is equipped with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.
See, it's just posting pictures to Facebook to get raisins!
