Great costume inspiration for us shorter, medium-sized gals!

I got to meet him! I was responsible for props for my college's production of his play "Oxygen" when I was a freshman, and he came to visit!

My worst color vision is also in the bluish greens. Not surprisingly, my favorite colors always hover around turquoise. I guess I like a little bit of mystery.

Check out Building Harlequin's Moon by Larry Niven and Brenda Cooper. Super awesome story that involves world-building, generation ships, and people who've left Earth forever.

Just once, I would like tech companies to think about how women will use their products. I love the concept of a smartwatch, but not even Apple can make one that wouldn't be physically uncomfortable for me to use and wear all day (try typing with a block bumping into the back of your wrist for hours), and bulkily ugly…

I think the idea is to propose solutions to *YOUR* problems as you present them, not to propose solutions to your *PARTNER'S* problems before he or she gets a chance to fully explain them.

You might try reading some of the fanfics that are rated well by women or mentioned as excellent on a woman's blog.

Also, maybe just try thinking about what you would like if you had the sexual orientation of your female characters? What would you obsess about about your boyfriend (or girlfriend)? What would you like…

Hi MCP,

Hi, MoreChampagnePlease! I was very impressed with your writing style and vocabulary in this post, so I read a few of your other posts, too. You're a great writer.

My boyfriend and his family's concept of dessert usually involves fruit and some kind of slightly sweetened carbohydrate. I count this as Delicious Breakfast, aka Not Chocolate.

This reminds me of vanity item collection in video games.

I own that li'l guy! Got this mecha-Godzilla figure for Monsterpocalypse at Comic Con a few years back.

I wanted the copper one. I did get my gyno to give me prescription (after she tried to scare me with how my boyfriend was PROBABLY slutting it up behind my back and catching STDs that would travel up the string and inflame my uterus and make me unable to have babies ever), but she said they couldn't order it at the…

I did get the review, and the title, and about half the raise I was looking for (which was still quite good). Although now I'm being headhunted for a new job! We'll see what happens.

I was just in Mainz, near the Opel factories, and my friend was telling me all about how Germans think Opels are very boring.

Sane Christians, for the most part, don't think this. But I grew up in a church that absolutely believed that D&D was the pathway to devil worship. I started playing in college and had to convince my parents that it *might* be okay, since I was playing with a group of Christian friends at a Christian college and was…

The camera angle, position of the HUD, and feeling of fighting "downhill" have far more of an effect than anything else, I'm pretty sure.

"The second the plan changed from "let's pop in for a second" to "let's hang out for a while" my brain snapped because the plan had changed. I wasn't prepared for this much time with other people, and I desperately needed some time to myself. With no other real option, I had to forcefully take that time—which meant…
