Timelies all!
Never gave any of my cars names. A friend of mine did name her green Toyota Tercel Esmerelda Turtlewax.
BTW, Gary and I will be in the SF area from Aug 14-16. We're planning on seeing the play P-C is in on either the 15th or the 16th.
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

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

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No, he was definitely French himself. Weird.
And weirdly too, my sister just Skyped me to ask if she could ask a family member for names of local migraine doctors. Why they suddenly need my permission to talk amongst themselves is a bit of a surprise--it's not like I can't just ignore the information if I don't want it.
And then she hung up on me because I wasn't...something. She's sitting there, camera pointing into the darkness, not saying anything, having called, and I'm not living up to my end of the social contract.
Okay.

Why does listening to Mission Control and the Atlantis's final comm goodbyes make me tear up? I do believe it was time to close out the Shuttle (though I really wish there were something innovative on the docket) but...yeah, I grew up with the Shuttle. The dad of my best friend from 3-10 was a shuttle engineer, and I remember it landing at White Sands. And Challenger. And Columbia. And then it became a part of my working life, and STS-125 had me so stressed out for the safety of my astronauts and telescope.
I'll never make it into orbit, childhood dreams long gone. But we grew up with that possibility tangible.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, did you all hear about the man who was the Harry Potter correspondent at News of the World years ago and was told to come to a press conference, the day after 09/11/01 in full HP costume?
They were mad that he didn't show up! And he sued them. I have no idea how his case came out. This article is from 2002.

I want a pet hedgehog. Not really, completely impractical, but I love the idea.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I want a pet echidna. Even more impractical, but very cool.

I bet Loki would LOVE a pet hedgehog!

Considering how he's been fetching and babying his favorite fake mouse unearthed the other night... OMG, I cannot have a pet hedgehog.

Because books.
Where do you get a pet hedgehog?
We had the fox wander through the neighborhood again the other night. It's so pretty! But it comes a little close to the houses for my comfort.

I have an ex who had a pet hedgehog. I wanted one too til I met hers. It spit on me. Apparently they do that. It's sticky and gross.
