OMG, work wants a blog (but we can't call it that) for the extranet. All this expertise that I will kinda pretend I don't have.

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've seen commercially available shoelace replacement thingies made of stretch cord and barrel slip-lock toggles (I may just be making up names for the parts, I'm honestly not sure) that worked similarly to those innertube thingies.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
lisah, I had a December wedding. I'd post a pic of the bouquet if only I were the type who was clever enough to scan it. But it was very nice. It was mostly roses plus I had them put some winter berries in it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My shoes come untied a lot, but my bicycle has an enclosed chain so I don't need to worry about laces getting caught in it. But I can see the appeal of just slipping my shoes on and off.
But somehow I think it wouldn't work as well for boots....

@Tommyrot - loved Windup Girl. Starting some others of his soon.
Also quite in love with Ian MacDonald, who just published Dervish House. Really amazing setting, there.

I stabbed myself in the finger with my boxcutter. I'm a little pouty as a result.

Cool!
On my lunch break, I bought his "Pump Six and Other Stories" book, as well as the new Ian M. Banks novel "Surface Detail."

I've come across two instances today where people were all "wtf is wrong with parents who can't control how much time their kid plays video games or watches tv, just turn it off or take it away." I want to send them mac.
