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

hip deep in pie

I remember liking Martha, but I don't remember much about her. I guess that's my knock against her.

The Ponds are not a unit for me. Amy started out cooler than Rory, who was an afterthought. And then Rory outstripped her. Amy's still cool (also ridic chemistry between Matt and Karen), but Rory is the bomb.

Jesse, I shall complain. Thanks for getting me off my duff.
