Kat, indeed, that is how I know her. Pretty damned cool review, no?

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

I'm not entirely sure why the dev->QA->prod question is such a huge question. It's standard environment architecture. No one external is pressuring us to do this. It's best practice. We're not being extorted by anyone.

This conversation is going around and around and I don't get a single convincing solid argument other than price. And price doesn't make it more less stable.

Thrive to spite them

Yeah there's even a magazine out, I don't remember the name, but on it says something like "Catch the latest fad! Steampunk" and has lots of different crafts - beading, paper carft (like journals and altered books), mixed media, scrapbooking, etc.

I saw it and bristled - it's not a fad!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Okay, so Christina Aguilera had a brownish colored liquid running down her leg while she was singing at Etta James' funeral.

Neil Patrick Harris was squicked out.

higher res photos here. So, the excuse being given is that it is tanner running down her leg, but I don't think that is possible. Is it?

By the way , if people like adorable cartoon robots, Michaels has a bunch of stuff in the dollar kids impulse section, plus there's some robot valentine stuff (which I'm waiting to go on clearance).

You know, there's a point at which I don't want to know. Just.... ew. There is no possible explanation that isn't TMI.

I'm not following any of those links. t twitches

Because books.

Happy birthday, Anne!

I guess that could be self-tanner, le_n? I think if it was something ... other, there probably would have been more of it?

Now I've squicked myself.

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

Self-tanner makes more sense than some other things I could imagine.

Maybe I'll head to Michael's when I get my tax refund. Which means I need to do the taxes.
