I am sitting in the office, looking down the hall at Jane Espenson and her actors and director doing blocking for the webseries they are going to shoot some scenes of here. We went out to dinner to leave them alone, but now we are back and I am trying to stay out of their way. Fun to watch from here, though!
Mal: You were dead! Tracy: Hunh? Oh. Right. Suppose I was. Hey there, Zoe.

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.

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I am having a random memory of Franny at age 5 or 6 filling out some school worksheet, and writing on one line "baby hejhog."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, I love that linguistics article and test! Though I wasn't completely guessing, since they used some Romanian. Fascinating.

That bathing suit is awesome! You should totally get it, Kat!
And very cool evening, Scrappy!
I went and worked out (every day but two for the last week and a half!) after band-aiding my blister...but now I have three MORE blisters. Ow. Ow. Ow. Also kinda puts the kibosh on my plan for a pedicure tomorrow.

I did give myself a new manicure and it's pretty (OPI Manicurist of Seville), but I'm worried I'll have the same messed-up-with-sheet-marks if I go to bed now. Post, people!

New Scientist posits that sounds have meanings divorced from language and across cultures. Test yourself!
I'm pretty sure the fact that the questions are only in English makes this quiz bullshit. (I know I know, online quizzes are not science, but you can't say "divorced from language and culture" and then proceed to demonstrate this using ONE language!)

IOscienceN, did we know that parasitic worms may be able to cure MS? On the one hand, ewwwwwww:
Every two weeks over the course of three months, the patients in the study drank 2,500 of the eggs mixed into a sports drink. The eggs hatched in the patient's intestines and were killed by the immune system after about a week.
But on the other hand, yay!
"What makes us optimistic is that brain lesions in four out of the five patients decreased over the course of the study and then rebounded—or rose—again after it finished," says Dr. Fleming.
