I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I had to delete a few Top Gears unwatched. I just caught up on Leverage and Mad Men. And I wrote up a big thinky post on Mad Men and how they dealt with the Japanese issues, but my phone ate it.
 
The one thing that`s weird about the liquid pencil is that it doesn`t smudge. Rubbing it with your finger just erases it. Which is okay I guess, a benefit that it doesn`t get on you. But I would think that would make it not so useful for drawing.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

FOX is on everywhere here.

Ev Er Y Where.

That paired with the moving-more-slowly-at-counters than with which I am accustomed/comfortable? I'm convinced its a deliberate indoctrination strategy.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'll probably tune in to that No Ordinary Family show, and I'm looking forward to the returns of SPN and Cougar Town. But yeah, summer season was full of interesting stuff to watch this year.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

another student thanked me for my explanation of something, which he'd seen before but just as something to memorize, not as something to understand.

That's something to treasure, Hil! I remember my utter relief to have a math prof (the head of the department, no less) who taught those of us in the business calc class (the bottom of the calc classes in terms of difficulty), and she would pause everything if she saw a student with a confused look on her (my) face and ask what it was I didn't understand.

I never liked to go up to a prof afterwards and ask them to go over something again because I was too stupid to pick it up the first time, and that usually meant I was lost for the rest of the hour.

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

Everyone else needs to be worried about.

I worry about you anyway.

But I will move you to the bottom of the pain worry list if that helps.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sons of Anarchy starts up next week. Ron Perlman and Katey Sagal FTW!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

hivemind - anyone know about Terracycle? Looks interesting, but just poking around the website, it looks hard to just casually participate.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Long wait and I'm feeling a little better so I came home, but plan to go back later today. Ugh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My boss just handed me a check! Hooray! Not only is the money nice, but it makes me feel slightly badass -- this is the result of my trying to negotiate the salary.
