Some clever and occasionally beautiful wing designs there, but on the whole I've seen cuter femmes and better cosplay at cons.

character flaw
I do not appear to be one of those people who endure chronic pain with saintly patience and a cheerful smile. The limit of my virtue is to not *actually* snarl at coworkers.

Probably everyone else saw this months ago, but I have to point and go OMG anyway.
I totally did not notice the legs until pointed out. sporfle.

rushthatspeaks still writes the most fascinating posts about films I never would have heard of. I never would have thought a nine-hour documentary about Mongolian yak herders was not a joke, for one thing. (I checked imdb: Taiga, 1992, running time 501 minutes.) Still not a film I'm likely to see, but - gah. Long day, no vocabulary. Go read. V. interesting.
And I really do want to see Johanna d'Arc of Mongolia by the same director, when the usual viewing suspects are up for it. Wow.

I've had a horrible day in some respects, but this wedding description just melted me into a puddle of sentimental warm fuzzy. The world can't be all bad when these women were able to have a wedding this awesome.
Many thanks toheavenscalyx (whose wedding did not lack for awesome itself) for the link!

the cruelty of winter light
coming in through the bathroom mirror and catching your teeth at an unexpected angle, more clearly than you've looked at them for months.
My teeth look horrible. Not "hm, better stop putting off the dentist" horrible, but "that's my entire year's salary I'm looking at isn't it" horrible.
Expect to see me repenting my bruxing sins in metaphorical sackcloth and ashes soon.

Persona 4
Getting killed by the enraged id of a teddy bear is embarrassing.
Getting killed by the enraged id of a teddy bear after 20 minutes of battle and scenes with no save point - twice - is *obnoxious*.

Now that's just nifty! SF Chron website has a photo gallery of 20th century pictures of cross-dressing people, most of them very old. The photos, I mean, not the people.
They're fascinating. And I wish to heck there was some description or attribution with them, because I want to know the stories behind each one. The couple in #17 looks so happy! And the women in #39 remind me of Merry and Pippin, for some reason.

belated happy birthdays!
First, to the awesome liralen - hope it was a good one!
Second, to the awesome Julia Mairi Shields, who is taking to life outside the womb with enthusiasm and delighting her parents even more than she's tiring them out. I can report from first-hand experience that she is a most excellent baby.
(I became a biological aunt earlier this year when my niece Clara was born, and she is an excellent baby too...but somehow being Auntie Marith to Julia seems like a much more real thing.)

keep walking
mizkit reminded me that I too should post about the suicide prevention walk that bryant and michele_blue are doing. They are fine people and it's a fine cause, and everyone everywhere needs help these days but - depression and despair, they are enemies I know well. They should never, ever, win. ..and I wanted to say something eloquent here, about walking and darkness and about Denethor in his tower. But the brain is not forming words and I have to get back to work. Keep walking, you guys. *hugs*

bonsai murder scenes
and other surrealities. Nothing gory in the gallery, but some are a bit creepy or morbid. Thanks to jonquil for the link!
Now I wonder if people more patient and dextrous than I do this with their action figures? Picture the Utena duelling arena under glass, like a snowglobe, with the gate at the bottom and tiny figures in mid-fight atop. The whole affair is perhaps 2/3 the size of the figure who watches from outside with amused interest. Possibly there is a sofa he has just gotten up from.

I haven't yet read George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series, but this Gashleycrumb Tinies rendering by curtana and skyclearblue is nonetheless awesome. Apparently some of the deaths are canon spoilers and some just made up. I'm just assuming everyone in the books comes to a bad end. :)

Hey bryant
Thinking this morning at work about monitoring. Depending on what I'm working on, there are up to *counts* 48 log files where important errors might show up. We're looking at splunk to manage them, which should make life a lot easier.
But you know what? I really miss pinglog. All the messages I potentially care about color-coded and appended to a single file. Tail -f, real-time status overview. None of these newfangled fancy apps have yet given me what I need as a tester as simply and effectively as pinglog.
I miss havingbryant and flit as sysadmins! You guys were awesome in ways I was too green to understand at the time. :)

when your 3rd grader has your number
(quoted from silkiemom)
Josh: Mom, I wanted to thank you for remembering to put a pair of scissors in my lunchbox for opening the Go-Gurt.
Silkie: You're welcome.
Josh: But I would rather that you remembered to put in the Go-Gurt too.
