Yay! I almost went with a blue Tadashi. Might still, if I don't find something I like that my mom doesn't hate. =)

Oh god, I still tear up thinking about that one. It's the silence... too real.

Aww man, I loved Beer Bad. The only episode that made me cry harder than Normal Again was The Body. Artistic genius.

Not going to sleep angry is *terrible* advice. I had an ex who would always pick fights around eleven pm and then would get super pissy when I'd start falling asleep around 1am because he still wanted to fight. Probably he realized that if we slept on it, I'd realize the next morning what stupid fucking things he…

Your cat has an *amazing* judgy-face. I feel guilty through the Internet, even!

And poop. A disturbing proportion of field biology involves poop.

It's gotta be business or Philo. Women in STEM don't wear power suits. I don't think I've seen anyone in STEM who wears a suit, except to conferences and then only the grad students.

I'm way the fuck out in Morris, but this is worth the three-hour drive.

omg, there is this amazing place in AdMo in DC... don't remember the name of it but I am suddenly regretting moving to Minnesota. I think the closest place to me now is a three-hour drive into the Cities. =(

Yes. The pre-TB forest troop was pretty standard among baboon troops. This is all Robert Sapolsky's work, if you're interested in details.

Ahhh, OM! Loved that shit. Anyhoo, to keep it fair for teams from smaller/poorer schools, there was a limit on how much you're allowed to spend on your project. Scavenging was highly encouraged. IIRC, most of our budget went to duct tape and spray paint.

Kinja is awful on my iPad. Typing is really really slow, it hangs up, and often crashes Safari. Typing has always been frustratingly slow, but the rest is new.

It's not even real pumpkin. Just the spices that usually go in pumpkin pie. But cinnamon-nutmeg latte just isn't as catchy.

Haha, doing this right now but with photographers. Yes, nine months is right on the "not enough time" line! *headwall*

I have to speak with vocal fry to *not* sound like a little girl. My speaking voice just doesn't like being that deep. =( (hate it so hard... just spent like half an hour recording and re-recording my voicemail message at work.)

I wish I could star this a million times.

ngl, food poisoning + out of TP = shower poop

Or it could have ended with a previously-unarmed intruder turning her gun on her, which is far more likely.

You just planned my reception for me.

I think she's using it right. She said "women recover faster," indicating the whole human woman. "Female brain" is just a biological part of her.
