Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I can't quite decide if this is awesome.

Our wings are not tired.

Dana. Yes, it is.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I don't know if it's awesome, but it is hilarious.

ION, watched a local thing on MD crabcakes. Made them look tasty...and I don't like crab.

Went out to a birthday lunch with fellow July bday friends at Chocolatea. NOM. I had the spicy chicken wrap, which was vaguely thai-spicy and good. But I had a hard time deciding, and since it is walking distance between work and home (just about halfway) will have to get back there. And it is quite reasonable: I paid $7.50 for a generous wrap and small side salad and it was enough that dinner was just a few crackers and cheese. It's an interesting concept: fairly asian inspired lunch food, traditional cafe breakfasts (belgian waffles, pancakes and eggs,) a plethora of tea and tea-based drinks (menu is longer than the lunch menu) and chocolate, both drinks and truffles. I imagine it does well in the neighborhood.

The discussion of clothes gives me an excuse to bring up "roaring girls" something I don't we've discussed here, but seems to me a very Buffista topic. Pdf: [link] . The plays apparently were based on a real phenomena, women who dressed in mens clothes and drank and brawled. According to the link "roaring" was a gendered term, applied to men, so a roaring girl was very definitely cross dressing and assuming a role usually reserved for rowdy young men, for "roaring boys".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Did you see this article about olden-tymey undergarments (and etc.), which includes talk of the roaring girls? It's FASCINATING. [link]

Yeah it was interesting. Where I heard about the roaring girls, but I actually found the roaring girls more interesting than the article about underwear.

Just checking that it wasn't some crazy internet coincidence.....

My BFF just made an Angry Birds cake. She made the birds out of fondant. It was pretty impressive.
