If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

It's a heavy piece of glass and fits nicely in my hand, so it may make a good weapon.

The MS anniversary presents (5, 10, 15 years and so on) are big obelisk -things of engraved crystal. When I got the one for my 5 years (they added my previous time as a full-timer), I asked my senior editor if, once you accumulated up to the 25 year obelisk, did it suddenly transform into the Fortress of Solitude?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Eliot killing Rodney takes me to my happy place. He'd make such a cute couple with Shep. And I'd love to see him with Ronon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, it turns out Chuck can kill you with appetizers, too!

Oh, I have a little Hubble statuette that can leave puncture wounds! Also, little Hubble stress thingies which have less pain-wielding capabilities.

I had a funny conversation with a guy at the pool. He's clearly learning to swim and can only go about 1/4 length with a kickboard before sinking. Anyway, I've finished up and he was all "I envy you guys who can swim." I said "Years of swimming lessons in the summer" and he said "But I grew up in the middle of the Caribbean! On an island! I should be able to swim!" "Um, I grew up in the desert." "Guess we were switched at birth" at which point we both crack up.

Possibly. I would have pinged him as hispanic before he spoke, and even then, I'm not sure.

Oh god, MI5 is killing me.

Oh man, my coworker has been in labor since Thursday, and still no baby! She's been to the hospital twice and back home again.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

owie.
