So last night I found a half-completed statistical analysis of the gender breakdown of ships in dcfic_index.

I do not remember starting this, but despite the fact that I don't think that archive has been updated since about 2008, I finished the analysis anyhow.

So um. Here are some graphs! They might surprise you (but probably not. It's nice to have concrete examples, though).

( I didn't think it was actually possible to be this much of a nerd. )

Contain eggs & nuts. (I swear, I do make things with no nuts! Just um, not very many of them.)

( Like brownies, in meringue-blob form )

So I started out putting Wonders of the Solar System on in the background while I baked cookies
and then somehow within the last two weeks I've suddenly fallen madly in love with Prof. Brian Cox, Rock Star Particle Physicist. As far as bizarre sudden fixations go at least I'll learn interesting things from this one?

I always find crushes on real people super embarrassing so I generally don't post about them, I just shout at whichever of my friends happen to be online. But I am pretty sure they are getting sick of me being all "GOSH ISN'T SCIENCE NEAT THE UNIVERSE IS WONDERFUL" all the time.

So! Here are some things! They are not the actual sciencey things, just the things that have caused me to clutch my face and shout "HOW ARE YOU A REAL PERSON THOUGH" at the screen recently. (Not that the actual science things don't also do that. But if I started linking those I would be here far later than I want to be and also I think the BBC might object on copyright grounds?)
( ....Okay so maybe this isn't an actual post it's a collection of absurd things I found on youtube. )

Contains gluten; nut-free and very easily made vegan. Can be doubled in a 9x13 pan.

( For when you want blueberry pie but you don’t have the time or energy. )

Which is here and accepting prompts for indie comics/webcomics/manga as well as superhero things! Go check this out, go go go.

But actually this is a post telling you that SOMEONE WROTE ROSEWING/BLACKBAT!

One-winged Angels

Prompt: Rose Wilson/Cass Cain, sparring-that-leads-to-sex; AU where Rose becomes Nightwing and trains with Blackbat. Cass teaches Rose how to use her body as a weapon; Rose teaches Cass other things to do with her body. Bonus points for fingerstripes.

Yes I realise there is no point in anonymous prompting if I'm going to go tell everyone as soon as my prompts get filled, shush

Dad's work gives prizes for high performance. Which are gift certificates for several malls, one of which is Yorkdale. Which is on the way up to school, and has an Apple store.

So the problem has been solved at half the cost I expected! CRISIS AVERTED.

* got out of bed early to get stuff done
* made a chart of all the birthdays of kids at work
* wrote the introduction to my paper (due next week, half-finished)
* remembered to eat breakfast and to drink tea
* came up with a working definition for “science fiction”

everything but the last bullet point is actually useful, and yet, i feel proudest of that one

- 4 eggs

- one cup milk or your preferred milk-substitute

- 1/3 cup sugar (although they were VERY sweet, I think I’ll try 1/4 cup next time)

- 1 tbsp vanilla

- approx. 10 slices of challah, cubed

- one cup frozen raspberries

- maple syrup

Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, & vanilla. Add bread and toss until liquid is absorbed. Add berries & toss ‘til mixed.

Spread mixture evenly into greased muffin tin. Drizzle a bit of syrup on top. Bake at 375 F for 25 minutes.

Muffins can be frozen and microwaved for a minute or two, as a quick! healthy(ish)! breakfast!
