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

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm pretty close to setting people on fire today.

I can make some nominations.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Peanut and Juliana update: things are progressing, but Peanut is still taking her time making an appearance. Juliana's mom and I are splitting our time between the L&D room and the waiting room. I will post more when there is something more to report.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Aw, I'm sorry you don't actually feel better!

I actually do! But not, you know, actually well. But thanks!

Go msbelle! Kind of sucks when the low-hanging fruit is all gone, but it does demonstrate your effectiveness. And now I am picturing us all as Lamarckian giraffes.

Who apparently have mastered fire.

It's a brave new world.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yay, peanut!

Also, huge layoffs at Gawker, including Annalee Newitz, who apparently had another job lined up and quit of her own accord.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There was an article in the Times saying Gawker was transitioning to a politics site.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, it sounds like a clusterfuck over there. Gawker becomes politics, Jezebel becomes celebrities, i09 becomes part of one of the other sites?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also: Yay Juliana!!

And go, msbelle! I have done some small things and also an expense report for over $800, so that explains some things about my finances!
