Hubby's coming home tomorrow.  I loaded the dishwasher all higglety-pigglety again, probably for the last time in a long while.  My main question is how did I manage to make so many dishes dirty in just a few days?  Mysteries abound.

Buffalo has many awesome parks. buildings, and cultural venues.  They also have alllllllllllllllllllllll the snow. I do not evny them this one bit.

And people think Canadians are dull:

Toronto streetcar sex involved 3 people, police say

The Ford Effect, I say.

I haven't watched a full episode of Saturday Night Live, in, oh, 15 years?  But for this I might, even if it's only to see how many times Martin Freeman swears during the live broadcast.  (Also, who is Charli XCX??)

The Duchess of Alba died.  Just because you CAN have plastic surgery doesn't mean your SHOULD have plastic surgery.

Today's topic:

Do you have a book in you?

If you took all the fic I've written and stuck it between covers, I think there's enough there to constitute a book, so yes.  Another book? Something original?  Not yet. Or bloody likely.

Fact or fiction?

Fiction.  If I had to write a factual book (or do I mean non-fiction?  Hmm...) it would probably be of the "101 Things to do with Googly Eyes, Silly String, and a Pound of Soft Cheese" or "How to Attract Wild Animals to Your Yard (and Then Have Them Move Into You Attic, Causing Thousands of Dollars of Damage in the Process.)"

Publishers, feel free to contact me.

These would make my annual Gingerbread Kryceks all the more awesome:

In today's episode of *This is How Science Gets Done!*:

(1) A slurry of cornstarch and water, when added to a simmering liquid destined to be gravy, will cause the liquid to thicken

(2) A "slurry" of baking soda and water, when added to a simmering liquid destined to be gravy, will make a complete bloody mess. And, unsurprisingly, utterly ruin the gravy.

CONCLUSIONS: PAY ATTENTION!

The more you know, kids. The more you know.

Today's 'real' topic is:
Write about an amazing imaginary brand or organization you'd love to work with.

This is easy. I'd like to work with/for the company that makes transporters a la Star Trek. While I love BEING places, I really dislike the GOING TO places part of the whole travel thing. The journey is not the destination; the journey is X number of ass-numbing cramped hours sitting in a spot which is inevitably over- or under-heated, needing to pee. (You know I'm right.) Nearly instantaneous travel? Even if it means having your atoms turned inside out and reshuffled/replicated?

Bring it on.

This is why I love Martin Freeman:



Even his fuck-ups are wildly entertaining.

(Kudos to whoever created this.)

...how much farther can he get from Billy Bob without actually being in Alison's lap?

See what I mean? )
