Tuesday, 0009: Particularly notable for the 'gay' bit: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/minor_differences2
Tuesday, 0009: @loopylisa93 There was a thing, and @khasael and I were going all literary analysis on it. A "why you shouldn't date girls who read"
Tuesday, 0010: @loopylisa93 But while it said "shouldn't", the subtext said "because they are totally awesome"
Tuesday, 0038: @loopylisa93 Well, the problem was, there were people in the comments who had Missed The Point Entirely. So we got our raegfaces on.

Tuesday, 0342: Found my active tube of pomegranate Burt's Bees. Unsurprisingly, it was in the launderizer. :(
Tuesday, 0347: Yay more rice is cooking. Alas, I snapped the handle of my favorite rice scoop, one of those plastic IKEA cups. It sort of works still.
Tuesday, 0351: Blue canary nightlight is now in the kitchen, where it should disrupt my sleep less and also help me stumble less at night.
Tuesday, 0357: (last year's news) Oh hey look, Shipstones. http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/live-from-the-bloom-box-press-event/

Tuesday, 0502: @loopylisa93 NOT YET. Her husband @doycet has the updates.
Tuesday, 0507: A great big bowl of previously frozen raspberries is just about the best thing right now. Simple, tasty, and I'm still not vacuuming.

Tuesday, 0605: Steam doesn't allow users to change login names even after legal name change. http://sophie.dreamwidth.org/35576.html Bonus transphobia.
Tuesday, 0613: BPAL of the day: Tenochtitlan. Sweet and spicy, with impressions of grandmothers and fire.
Tuesday, 0631: @amalnahurriyeh The closest thing I have to an outlet by the lightswitch is an outlet by the garbage disposal switch. But it watcheth.
Tuesday, 0632: Brewing a big damn pot of tea, for possible future icing. It's got raspberry leaf, St. John's Wort.
Tuesday, 0703: @doycet That's how I came out! Mama was very glad of it. She'd been two days in labor and was not enjoying it.
Tuesday, 0730: Two potfuls of hot water in the brewing pitcher results in a flaskful of tea for the fridge & just over a big not-a-disposable cup for now.
Tuesday, 0733: This sounds like it has the makings for an AU from the fine folks who brought us RBR. http://huff.to/hPje2f
Tuesday, 0736: @maureenjohnson Does BabyUn get a JAR? Have you one PREPARED?
Tuesday, 0747: Oh god, apparently one of my neighbors has a dog whose idea of starting the day out right includes baying like it's being killed. Beagle?
Tuesday, 0805: Apparently I'm femme today. In other news, apparently my lipstick fixative, the one that stings, does not fix. *fling*
Tuesday, 0806: @ladypaperclip Ugh. Does strong tea or prescription-strength chocolate have better effects?
Tuesday, 0814: Dangers of high femme: just jammed an applicator coated with black eyeliner into my eye. (Not hard, but messily.) o_<

Tuesday, 0912: @jai_dit Oh, that's adorable! Though that's crocheted.
Tuesday, 0915: @tiferet93 It's watching over me! :D
Tuesday, 0916: @tiferet93 Noted! I should make more just plain raspberry. Got the leaves at that little shop between 24 Mission & Borderlands.
Tuesday, 0916: @tiferet93 It is NO FUN. Expect my eye to be spitting out black-tinged goo for a little while.
Tuesday, 0918: @tiferet93 I was stupidly trying to use the waterproof eyeliner as mascara. I HAVE LEARNED MY LESSON.
Tuesday, 0919: @MythBusters Awesome! I have established why we do not use waterproof eyeliner as mascara, because of jamming the applicator in the eye.
Tuesday, 0920: @jai_dit Well, crocheting is sideways knitting, so you're not too far wrong.
Tuesday, 0932: @jai_dit This is why every time I do mascara, I remember why I think the whole concept is fucking mental.
Tuesday, 0933: So, seriously, men, the next misogynist troll in your online forum, don't brush him off that easily. http://feministing.com/2011/01/18/new-evidence-suggests-loughner-was-driven-by-misogyny/

Tuesday, 1221: @laliandra Oh no! That is worse than my eye woe! Possibly also worse than Nyn's! She ran into a wall!
Tuesday, 1258: @khasael OMG
Tuesday, 1354: @cassieclare Only vaguely related: it is amazingly surreal to moderate a flamewar involving someone's sock RPing Wikipedia.
Tuesday, 1356: @TanyaHuff Excellent. And also useful in cold-ass climates. (Says the 20 year Alaskan.)
Tuesday, 1400: @Safeway The less processing, the better. Real cheese, not 'cheese food'. Potatoes. Onions. Squash makes a lovely hearty curry base.
Tuesday, 1402: We can breathe at last! (No more notes! No more ghost!) (Actually, just a nice working neti pot.)

Tuesday, 2239: o god my sleep schedule.
Tuesday, 2240: *introduces* @simonejester, @dawnam. Might have things in common, might get along like cats & dogs. ;-P
Tuesday, 2244: @simonejester Reading through my backscroll, saw you interleaved with similar political commentary. :D
Tuesday, 2248: @jai_dit Oh man, reminds me of $CALLCENTER_FROM_HELL.
