Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
HANG IN THERE, MSBELLE!
I got to go to another department's Christmas party, and they were having a Yankee Swap/White Elephant thing, and I got to participate even though I hadn't brought anything! (Someone brought two things.) I ended up with a ridiculous reindeer cookie-jar-looking thing that turns out to have a pine-scented candle inside. I kind of like it.

Fuggly? or Not?
I think they'd look good being worn by Helen Hunt and Sarah Jessica Parker in 1985's Girls Just Want to Have Fun.

"Piggy pudding?!?"
"No, Figgy pudding. It's made with figs."
"Oh. Sorry!"
"And bacon."
"What?"

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Well, we now have three functioning toilets again. (The one in the master bath was out of commission for a while, which was inconvenient)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
11 cheap gifts guaranteed to impress science geeks
6. Gallium
Gallium is a silvery metal with atomic number 31. It's used in semiconductors and LEDs, but the cool thing about it is its melting point, which is only about 85 degrees Fahrenheit. If you hold a solid gallium crystal in your hand, your body heat will cause it to slowly melt into a silvery metallic puddle. Pour it into a dish, and it freezes back into a solid.
7. Miracle Berries
By themselves, Miracle berries don't taste like much. The reason to eat them is that they contain a chemical called miraculin that binds to the sweet taste receptors on your tongue, changing their shape and making them respond to sour and acidic foods.
The upshot of this effect is that some things you eat taste spectacularly different. Straight Tabasco sauce tastes like donut glaze. Guinness tastes like a chocolate malt. Goat cheese tastes like cheesecake. After about an hour of craziness, your taste buds go back to normal, no harm done.

Good lord, I submitted my bookmarks to Diigo late on Friday and I *just* got the email that said they were done. OK, 2000+ bookmarks mostly consisting of SGA fanfic might take awhile, wow!
