Hoping for a good night, msbelle!
Loki is bedeviling Devi. Something funny about both being named after deities. A rumble in Asgard?
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Came home this evening, and the power was out. (There is a pole down near our complex) G and I went out to dinner , and the power was back when we returned.
This is a good thing in many regards, including the fact that my parents are coming in tomorrow for the weekend, and we hadn't finished cleaning. Now we have.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I got a rubik's cube yesterday, and it's infuriating because they keep walking by, picking it up, and solving it in ten minutes and then I have to mix it all up again.
Ooh. I won $50 for solving the Rubik's Cube when I was 11. That's a lot of money for an 11 year old. I'm slower now, takes me about 90 seconds. I've seen a book that promises to teach yo uhow to solve it in under 30 seconds or something. It tempts me, though not yet enough to actually buy it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I know that there's a strategy for solving a Rubik's cube, but I've never actually sat down with one for long enough to figure it out, and I don't want to look it up on the internet because that feels like cheating.

Screwdriver, I tell you. Or be really evil and goo-be-gone! Now it all matches.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I got a solve-the-cube book when I was a kid. IIRC, there were a bunch of algorithms for stuff like how to swap two pieces that are currently on opposite sides in n moves. I got fairly quick, found it boring once I had the tricks, have forgotten every bit of it, and am much more inclined to just take the blasted thing apart these days.

Screwdriver, I tell you.
Yep. That's how I've always solved Rubik's cubes.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I used to know how to solve them. Then the Nephlet got one for Christmas and I was re-obsessed but pretty clueless. Um, not that I stole toys from the kid or anything.

I was more of a take the stickers off kind of person.
So, I practiced yoga today with ita's Colin's ex-girlfriend today. I was pretty gratified knowing I am (1) stronger than she is (2) more flexible than she is (3) have a more advanced practice than she does.
Yes. I know it's not the point at all. Yoga is not a competitive sport nor should it be. But when I am better than someone who is (1) semi-famous and (2) a sort-of friend's definite ex it's oddly gratifying.
I'm shallow. this is going to mess with my karma, isn't it?
