Art Crawl!!!

Thanks, guys!

I prefer Rose with 9 over Ten.

I like Donna - but also Martha. With Ten. (It would be interesting to see them with 11 or 9, wouldn't it?) I mean, one of the reasons why Donna is such a good companion is that she is a buddy not somebody with a crush or somebody that the Doctor is crushing on, you know? It got tired.

Punishingly Intricate

Are there bicycles out there for giant out of shape people without good balance? You know, so I could maybe get back into shape without screwing up my feet more?

Yes! Of course. I'd actually recommend getting the lightest weight bike you feel comfortable on. A cruiser may be comfortable but they are way heavier than a hybrid or a road bike and if you really want to be easy on your knees go light! It may take a bit to get used to, if you haven't ridden in a while, but you don't really need great balance to do fine on a bike! Get a helmet that fits and wear it EVERY TIME YOU RIDE. You may fall but you'll be fine!

I'm happy to provide other tips and lots of encouragement!!

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

I'm happy for Erin that Wordnik seems to have a pretty good deal with the NYT--that's some profile, dammit.

However, I WANT MY RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON BACK. I want to be able to select text from their articles and do with it what I want with the right mouse button. Wordnik is cool, but it's only one place, and it's not a full resource. I want to be able to decide if I'm searching Wikipedia or IMDB or a Google image search.

I hate when sites take over those menus from the browser. The browser should be the dominant application.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, I hadn't seen that. You can copy four words, but not fewer than that.

I didn't know that. It doesn't fix my use cases, though, which are usually people's names for further and often specific detail (sometimes it's their filmography, sometimes it's other pictures--you know what I mean). That's so frustrating. What's the point of sending more than one word to Wordnik? Your search is automatically going to fail for 99% of phrases. And, you know, people's names.

I just tried it until I could copy the sequence. But yes. Someone should file a complaint or something.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I keep doing everything EXCEPT put up the tree. Made brownies, washed dishes, emptied dishwasher, made some hamburgers, got the next load of laundry ready, took out the recycling...

Should really get the tree.

I took everything off the tree, but haven't vacuumed or brought the tree outside. Next year, definitely back to the fake!

The status is NOT quo.

I’m not a huge Martha fan, honestly. She’s my least favorite companion, though I can see why people like her.

Donna is awesome. T&T have amazing chemistry together as actors, which helps.

I like all the companions. I view Ponds as a unit, of course. As one should
