Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I forget if it was Sweden or Japan that said that.

Switzerland, where they held a public referendum on the question of switching to a semi-public health services system (the services are provided by non-profits who get paid by the government, IIRC). Ten years later, even those who were furiously opposed to the switch think it's wonderful.

I suspect the special is streaming on the PBS website: it's really really good (and very depressing for Americans).

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

My provocateuse tumblr just got reblogged by its first fuckyeah tumblr. I feel like it's a birthday or something. Also, apparently everyone has a fuckyeah. Sucks to be you if you don't have one dedicated to you.

over 80 pairs

If you combined ALL my socks, panties and bras, it would not come to this number. Damn, I'm bland.

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

80!?! I have, like 15. And mine are dull and tedious.

I do have about 10 pairs of pajamas and they are amusing and/or adorable, so there's that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, apparently everyone has a fuckyeah. Sucks to be you if you don't have one dedicated to you.

It's true. Also, congrats.

Can I count the meeting as an onerous task?

Of course!
