  1. Things That Make You Happy

    Either you found a very clever way to say she did choreography for a little over 2.7 years, or part of a word dropped out there.
  2. What Are You Watching?

    The crowd outside Wrigley after the Cubs won their last home World Series game. Now they just have to win both remaining away games.... ETA: Wow, it was at least ten minutes before I heard a single chorus of "Go Cubs Go!" (Noone ever seems to sing any of the verses, only that damnably repetitive chorus....)
  3. What Are You Ingesting?

    Okay, you know what this means....you have to tell us which bad joke got you those tickets!
  4. Story: Friday, October 28, 2016

    A cell phone wouldn't rely on external electricity, so it's possible a cell phone would work but a desktop wouldn't. If it is possible for a self-contained computer like a cell to function, then it might be able to get an internet connection.....with the relative speed of a dial-up modem, because of the difference in the rate at which time is passing inside vs outside.
  5. The Weather.

    Nah, that's only if they win! That can't happen until at least Sunday.

    The kids who have sex in high school get much more attention, but there definitely are people who graduate from high school, or even college, still virgins. For some it's religion, for some it's upbringing, for some it's a strong desire not to get pregnant, or even feeling that it's more than a casual thing to do and not wanting to make that big a commitment when they'll be going off to college (or out into the real world) soon. And of course, there are varying levels of sex drive, and thus varying degrees of pressure to take that step. For every statistic you hear abiut how X% of teenagers are having sex, there are (100-X)% who are not having sex. Granted, a few of the reasons, like pregnancy, wouldn't apply to lesbians, but all of the issues related to emotions and maturity and commitment would still apply here. (I still have a pet theory that Tedd and Grace have not gone nearly as far physically as most people assume. Ellen and Nanase, on the other hand, have crossed that line, and enough others to make a proper zebra crosswalk....)

    And therein lies the difference between being told you can change things at will or whim, and knowing you can do whatever you want in the simulation!
  8. The Weather.

    With the Cubs playing in the World Series tonight, I've been hearing a lot more discussion of the weather in Cleaveland than the weather here today. We've had rain all day; Cleveland has rain moving in this evening and pushed the start of the game an hour earlier but will likely still get rained out before the game is finished, in which case they pick up where they left off the next day.
  9. Story Monday October 24, 2016

    Either that, or Sarah just hasn't yet figured out how to focus her eyes just right.
  10. Things that make you sad.

    If it were porn with Patrick Stewart in it, I'd *so* be on Twitter instead of here....that man was sexy in the Royal Shakespeare Company in his youth and he's still sexy to this day!
  11. Story Monday October 24, 2016

    Just wondering...people who were confused, are you also people who don't read commentaries?
  12. Story Monday October 24, 2016

    I'm betting Sarah has completely forgotten about trying to make this use of the spell last about one minute from her perspective. The two different panel borders works for telling which is which, but it ends up making it seem like both perspectives are going at the same speed....
  13. An Important Message to All Americans

    I've seen the version, "I love my country, it's my government I fear." Seems to go along with the bumper sticker, "I have nothing against God, but his fan clubs are getting out of hand!"
  14. Things That Are Just Annoying

    Sounds like the buttons that read "Wesley Crusher? Good idea, turn it on!"
  15. Story Friday October 21, 2016

    I wonder if she'll come out of her simulation to discover that Tedd could see what she was doing? Wouldn't Pandora be jealous!
  16. NP, Friday October 21, 2016

    To my mind, at least, hijinks means fun/amusing, and since things cease to be fun/amusing when someone gets hurt, hijinks transitively must be safe.
  17. Things That Are Just Annoying

    I'm already tired of hearing the chorus over and over (and over and over and over.....) and it looks like I'll be hearing a lot more of it. Um, guys, shouldn't real fans know the actual verses? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9XtDyDUjIU
  18. What Are You Listening To?

    Looks like at least one line is in danger of becoming obsolete.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xBxZGQ1dJk
  19. NP, Monday October 17, 2016

    Perhaps magic is more analogous to air, rather than water. It spreads out to fill low-pressure areas very quickly, such that it would take a lot to make even a temporary gap, and such gaps fill in rapidly from the surroundings. Sarah took a big chomp, and then was able to take another big chomp almost immediately. The Guardian Twins and Not-Tengu had to fly around a pretty small area very quickly to deplete magic there long enough for Not-Tengu to "asphixiate" enough to pass out. Maybe like the low pressure in the center of a tornado?
  20. Story Wednesday October 19, 2016

    You can pick any frame of reference you want, and all are equally valid. That in itself would not preclude there being a geographic center to the universe. I suspect there are plenty of esoteric theories, many of them incompatible, and am not qualified to judge between them.
  21. Political Discussion Thread (READ FIRST POST)

    It isn't, at least not so far. I was just voicing a fear based on past experience.
  22. Political Discussion Thread (READ FIRST POST)

    Or he thinks that babies with invariably fatal, miserably painful birth defects should have to be born to a short life of suffering horribly, their paents acutely aware of every minute of it, instead of being quckly and safely euthanized before that point arrives. Because ain't nobody doing late-term abortions just for convenience's sake. (Oh, unless maybe they wanted to do it when it was a little cluster of cells, but couldn't afford to travel to where such services are safe and legal....but doctors generally set the limits to at most the point of viability, so even if someone sought an abortion "moments before birth" on a healthy fetus, it's not going to happen....) Hmm, I fear most discussions in this area become far too heated far too quickly. I think it would be fascinating to have an polite, open and honest discussion about it, but such is almost never the case.
  23. The Weather.

    The weather was great today, overcast so not as prone to sunburn, cool but not cold enough to need a jacket. And for once the good weather came on my afternoon off, and I actually did get out relatively early in the afternoon, so I drove to the zoo and had a lovely walk around the nearby part of Lincoln Park after the zoo closed. I brought a little folding umbrella just in case, but never needed it. :-)
  24. Things You Find Amusing

    An acquaintance made a post to Facebook: "PSA Din't come to Adler to have sex in your car! Talking about you Toyota Corolla!!!" There were the predictable replies from people apologizing, or boasting, as if it had been them. There were comments about the high cost of parking in that area versus getting a motel room in the suburbs, or suggesting that a bonus was owed. Suggestions that the occupants were really hunting pokemon, or celebrating catching a rare one. Someone asked who the Corolla was having sex with. But the one that made me laugh aloud was, "You could have joined in -- there were about five of us in there!" I drive a Toyota Corolla, and I can barely imagine two people doing anything in there, the mental image of five all trying to coordinate....
