Just watched a video with two scientists talking to one another about astronomy. Smart men talking in jargon turns me on.
That doesn't make me weird or anything, right?

I don't think I've ever had carolers come to my house.
Ever.
Then again, if they don't call ahead, I'm probably not answering the door anyway.
It'll also be available in paperback if you don't get one by then.

I'm with Gary. The only good use for carolers? TARGET PRACTICE!!!
There are some songs which give carolers a reprieve...
*ahem*

Evenin' all.
Hey, good news. I figured out why it takes me so long to get through George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire books (yes, I'm reading the 2nd one even though I said I wouldn't). And no, it's not because they're long.
It's because I just don't like being inside certain characters' heads. Primary offenders for this are Sansa and Catelyn. Not that I don't like the characters (I actually do like Catelyn... not fond of Sansa, to be honest), I'm just not that keen on hearing the story through their perspectives.
So... that's what I did with my day. What y'all been up to?
...But, I like carols. They're my favorite form of christian music. I think you're just jaded because your church is sans voices.
With all the talk of carols and the loathing there in I shall step up and speak for them. I love Choirs, I love Carols. They are the only way I feel in the Christmas mood. Screw the tree, screw the presents, give me carols and I'm a weepy, happy, some what sad, fat man.
Don't diss Tolstoy. His books are the only classical lit I read and actually like.
I love choirs, John. I even love Christian music. The Requiem Mass, Christ on the Mount of Olives, you name it, I'm good. But not Christmas music. And you can't blame it on the Presbyterians, because I felt that way when I was a little kid.
Nothing puts me in the mood for Christmas. I dig the food and all the candy. I used to enjoy cooking all evening with my sister.....
....
Yeah, that pretty much covers it. Even getting presents depresses me. All told, I much prefer Halloween.
Not at all. Brainy is the new sexy.Just watched a video with two scientists talking to one another about astronomy. Smart men talking in jargon turns me on.

well, she's an atheist redheaded feminist with a live in boyfriend, so some people think she's the devil incarnate. She has her downsides and upsides, IMO, like any polictian.
But, really, if you look at that list, we do like to get all the 'firsts' done at once. First woman pm, first atheist pm, first unmarried pm, first redhead pm.
Isn't she also childless by choice? Some of the recent controversies seemed (from over here in the UK) had to do with that.
We did the female PM thing in the 70s with Margaret Thatcher. I'll say no more than that she's a divisive figure to say the least.
What is it with major politicians having to be seen to be married? At least two UK politicians (William Hague, Ed Miliband) married their longterm partners shortly after becoming party leaders. And the last unmarried PM we had was Edward Heath in the early 1970s.
I think there's only been one unmarried US president, James Buchanan IIRC
Morning
I am still half asleep and wishing I was in bed. Obviously I'm not.
The microbes are on the comeback trail. I'm fearing a 'greatest hits' collection, so I think I'll be taking it easy today if I can.
Hey Sian, other than War and Peace, what do you recommend on the Tolstoy list (yes, yes, let's add to the TBR pile, it's only four miles high)
Anna Karenina. Definitely.
There was one particular boy in War and Peace that was like this.
Brainy is the new sexy.
Turkey pizza could be done. But more importantly we need to know what happened on Thanksgiving in AtCTs.
