This is the stuff I am doing instead of my JOB though. SRSLY.
I'm IM-ing with my Co-worker about Gus.
She was most impressed that Joss ever posted at our board. I didn't even tell her about former Buffy writer Tim Minear being practically a regular for a time.
I also just noticed that the sentence about Tim now reads:
One day, deep in the middle of a thread about Angel and Firefly writer Tim Minear,
Did anyone keep a copy of the original version for posterity?
I am starting a list of all the things I need to try and sell/give away before the move, it is starting to get long:
mac's bed
mac's wardrobe
2 sets of Duplos
clothes dryer
microwave
4 side tables
granny cart
4 winter coats
set of vintage pyrex bowls
possibly mac's bike
1-2 boxes of books
Oooh, msbelle, I might be interested in hearing more about the pyrex bowls.
Have you seen Big Chill, msbelle? I mean, not very affordable, but still.
It the primary colors full set from the 1940's 4 bowls that set inside each other, round, not the later style with handles.
Joy, all of the 500 public computers in my building that aren't Macs (we have about 40 of those) have a worm of some kind and are being shut down. I am so glad I am just the librarian and not responsible for all the angry or disconsolate students at midterm time.
I was going to be all "who changed??" but I kinda don't recognise myself from early B'crazy. Why so serious? I still hate thread proliferation, though.
Aurelia quoted just the sentence about "Buffy writer Tim Minear" upthread. I'm blown away by how pervasive that is.
I have never watched The Wire, although I understand it's quality. I'm not sure what the hesitance is. I should drop it onto my queue.
Yes, Tom I love the retro fridges. Sadly, not really doable right now. I do need to start looking for a fridge though. Maybe that is how I will spend my time today. Bills be damned.

Something struck me in reading that io9 article. Didn't Gus claim to be (in addition to Somali and Irish) a Traveler? The article talks about how the 3 founders (if indeed there were 3 founders) of TVTropes "met at MIT's Russian House, where they were drawn together over their interest in a role-playing game called Traveller."
Huh.
