Write it down in a letter to yourself

It really was interesting. And the "sheds" where they made the gunpowder were constructed in such a way that when an accident happened, the explosion would go off in a direction away from the village. Massive stone walls on the village side of the shed, and open air on the side away from the village. They had a lot of workers blown to smithereens in accidents over the years and sprayed onto the other side of stream in little bits.

I think the thing that is the coolest is that they just shut down production but maintained most of the buildings, so everything still works.

Facetious would be a pretty cool name. If anyone's expecting. Lola? or at least a middle name, anyway....

Would the feminine version be Facetia?

Thats about 15 minutes from my place. Lemme know if any of you decide to come down/over/up...

Last night I made myself a hot chocolate, and I like it a little bit thick, so usually put a little corn starch in. So last night I must have put a bit too much in, cause it turned out more like chocolate blancmange. You americans would probably just call it chocolate pudding I suspect.

Anyway, I ate my hot chocolate with a spoon, and it was yummy.

yummy

(thanks for the way back Jim)

Interesting tip. I'll have to try that.

That sounds awesome

Need some hot chocolate to wash it down.

I just finished season 7, the series finale, of Nurse Jackie. My ex bought me the DVD for my birthday. (He be my ex, but he was in the position to become my ex for a very good reason...he gets me. Yes, we are still best friends.)

I am still haunted by it. No spoilers, just in case any of you ever get hooked on this fabulous show (Jesus god Edie Falco is a fine actor, and the rest of the cast were great also) but I can't seem to get it out of my head. Resonates. I watched the first episode again for continuity. It's just brilliant. Incredibly funny, and incredibly real.

So now I'm rewatching The Wire. Nothing like a bit of Dominic West to chase away some doldrums.

infinite monkey · 11-14-2015, 12:35 PM

Oh, and Theme from Valley of the Dolls. More haunting than ever.
