What this story made me think of was this book: Stiff, the Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach that has a chapter that details a class teaching surgery techniques on severed heads, pretty much exactly how you described it. So fascinating!

And this kind of thing is why I don’t eat ANY salmon at all. Ever since I developed an allergy to Red 40 I’ve avoided salmon because farmed salmon is grey until they add the red coloring to make it all pink again. That and I’ve really stopped liking most fish again. I like tuna, both canned and ahi steak, but that’s…

Me and my husband are about to go feel old on purpose by watching the debate at a local college that is doing a public viewing party. Ought to be fun! I’m bringing popcorn and those snap pea crisps that I get at Trader Joe’s that will be responsible for me dieing of obesity. OM NOM NOM.

I work as a custom picture framer. My nails are a nightmare. I’ve got hangnails and cuts and broken spots and lots of black marker/putty/atg adhesive under them. I’ve got these little slashes from glass and razor blades that have marker IN them, so now I basically have tattooed nails. I like to get gel manicures every…

Yep. That’s what we just did too. We got two Megan Lara prints, that travel Tardis poster you have the pic of, and two Doctor Whomster matted prints. So much art I wanted! Now for the final Emerald Rose concert to end the con.

Actually, it’s SELL, but with a heavy accent.

Hmmm. I’m doing a Velma costume for DragonCon, and I wonder if something like this would be effective and make me stand out in a sea of Velmas? I might have to play with my make up a bit. Tho I wouldn’t do the blue eyeshadow or the falsies with her, but maybe the subtle lines will be neat?

Cheese porn. Mmmm it’s gouda.

And this is why we are taking the train to DragonCon. It’s a lot slower, but we have no parking or baggage fees, and the tickets are way cheaper. I love my Midnight Train to Georgia.

I’ve learned the trick with mine is to preheat it. I just yank the dial around a bit when I get up, and then when I am ready to make toast after showering and stuff, it makes it perfectly. I preheat it for everything now and it is so much happier. Waffles, pizza, leftovers... just give it a heating cycle first and it…

I didn’t know sharing was even an option. We got the Prime account in my name because I did all the Amazon shopping, and the rat husband has the Ebay account. This dichotomy seems to work for us.

The notes at the bottom about alignment are interesting, but you gotta be careful or you’ll gimbal-lock the whole universe and then where will we be? Lost. Lost in space.

I always forget about her Princely spelling style.

Oh Sinead, nothing compares to you.

A few of mine. Sorry, some of images don’t wanna resize! But hero rats are great!

PT is DEFINITELY life changing. I was having pain during sex, and hip pain, and all sorts of pelvic issues and part of it was that I was too tight, and all my muscles were clenched and not releasing properly. My vagina was half its length because of this, which made sex painful as hell. We did internal and external…

We prefer to fuck to MST3K, and so therefore we’ve only fucked to a Johnny Williams score from Land of the Giants.

Soooo, this is one big Kevin and Kell movie, huh?

We didn’t have a disaster, but I did stain my dress when we exchanged first bites. Right on the boob, which, lets be honest here, I’m pretty much all boob. And my wedding photog caught it on film, something we found out later. Note: blue food dye does not come out of yellow silk. EVER. Oops.
