Just shovelled off my balcony. If it weren't 11, I'd do my neighbor's too, returning the favor. But I'll wait until morning for that. Don't want to wake up his kid or freak him out.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Frogs Pee Away Scientists’ Attempt to Study Them
Researchers from the Charles Darwin University in Darwin, Australia (they really like Darwin there, apparently) thought they had schemed up a clever way to study how Australian Green Tree Frogs regulate their body temperature.
They surgically implanted temperature-sensitive radio transmitters inside the frogs’ bellies, but months later when they went to retrieve the frogs, the scientists found the transmitters scattered on the ground. Like so many great scientific discoveries, the researchers eventually went from “huh?” to “aha!” according to Nature News:
Researchers have discovered that these amphibians can absorb foreign objects from their body cavities into their bladders and excrete them through urination.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Oh, I'm really sorry to hear about Rip Torn, he named by the same agent who named Tab Hunter. Ahem, neither here nor there. I always think of Torn in Cross Creek--he was wonderful. And then I think of him in Beastmaster, and my giggles become unseemly.
Damn, so much Rip Torn goodness out there - Larry Sanders, Defending Your Life, Man Who Fell to Earth, whacking Norman Mailer on the head with a hammer on film for real and having Mailer thank him for it eventually. The list goes on. Sorry to hear his demons are getting at him. I wonder if it's more than just alcohol, given his age.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Wheeeeee

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
We're entering the lottery as a group (well, me, K, Grace's OT and her PT) for the Woman's Marathon is SF in October if you are interested in joining.
I've heard that's a fun one. When do you have to apply/register?

I may be mean, but tossing Loki into 6" of snow is funny! He plays and burrows and then decides to come in. That's what you get for whining at the door!

I just finished another disk of S1 of Criminal Minds. Gideon's still annoying.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Reid and Garcia are still cute, though, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm trying to imagine Gideon in the episode Omnivore (where they first encounter the Reaper) and Hotch is blaming himself for the people killed on the bus. Rossi talks him down, all tough love "Take my gun and kill yourself if feel that bad about it." which stops the Hotchly tears. I can't imagine what Gideon would have done. Shamed him, perhaps?
