Uh-oh, looks like something's been slipping through the rift.
Flesh-Eating Slug Found In Wales
Fortunately, the article (and the scientists giving their information) say they only eat earthworms with their "blade-like teeth ... for slicing through animal flesh and can measure up to 5 inches (13 centimeters) long when stalking its prey"
"The so-called ghost slug ... first appeared in South Wales
gardens in 2006, possibly after arriving as a stowaway in imported
potted plants"
They are nocturnal, and it's white color and lack of eyes, suggests evolution in near or complete darkness. It's scientific name, Selenochlamys ysbryda; "ysbryd" is the Welsh word for "ghost."
"The slug's origins remain a mystery, but the study team speculates that it may be native to deep caves found in Georgia, Armenia, or Turkey."
Georgia, Armenia or Turkey?
Sure Ianto, sure.

Don S. Davis died.
He was 65.
I wish I had read that after taking my pills, now I'm all depressed. Massive heart attack. 10 years older than my mom. Tim Russert was 58.
And they both had heart trouble, so I need to put on some happy music and chill the fuck out.
Rest in peace Don, you're leaving a giant hole, and not just in the Gate-verse.

Last night I meant to check where my package was, but I was so tired I kept forgetting why I was on the internet.
So when I got up this morning (it was technically still morning) I decided to check for the package outside before checking online.
And there was a box by the gate!
I squeed, I actually squeed and ran out to the box.
I now have season 2 of Bones, John Barrowman's Autobiography, and Things I Learned About My Dad (In Therapy).
I've been watching Bones for hours, and I probably will be most of the day! (I started with the extras then 'Aliens In A Spaceship', one of my favorite episodes)

Rachel Maddow is hosting Countdown today!
And Kieth was trying to be coy yesterday. So cute.
Could this be an *audition*? Yee! (Or maybe they'll do like I suggested to Mom yesterday, and make it the Keith and Rachel Show. [She was very much in agreement])
Somehow I've overlooked pundit and political icons. Must fix this.

It's a little past 2 am and I might be about to do something a little crazy.
I have an open comment window in which I have typed a response to a comment correcting the spelling errors in a YouTube video. One of the errors listed was 'favourite'. (and the their/they're mistakes overlooked)
( This is what I've written in response. )
Now, if I hit the Comment button, it's sure to bring Trolls out of the woodwork, (I've displayed an elementary level knowledge of the English language! [and an ability to use spellcheck] What a snob!) but on the other hand, that might be kinda fun. *eg* And it might actually educate somebody! ::wide eyed and earnest::
Although I might just be thinking that because it's getting closer to 2:30am.
What do you guys think?

My Grandma's 80th birthday is this month and we're planning a party. Grandma was afraid her BFF wouldn't be able to come so soon after her last visit, so Mom said she'd call and try to get something worked out.
And Grandma said "Tell her if she comes for my birthday, she's off the hook for my funeral."
*g* I love my Grandma.

FTL: Yay! I'm caught up on my friends list! And it's only ... 4am.
FTW: I donated blood for the first time today! And it was only my fourth or fifth try!
I have a high pulse rate, and the blood donation people (it's 4am, I'm having trouble withe names and spelling and coordination) won't accept ypu if you have a HR above one-oh-something. The woman getting me registered took me through some breathing exercises andt got it to slow down. It was still too high for their parameters. She said, "Y'know, what, I think that's normal for you," and fudged it by 3 beats, qualifying me. They've got a pint of blood, I did fine (other than squeezing the stress-ball too hard and making my fingers go numb) and now all I have to do is go back to bed!

Why are there so few torrents/seeds for todays Doctor Who and Confidential?
(One ep download is at 8h 50, the other is at 10hs; the Confidential is at 4 *days*)
... Or is it like this every week, and I'm just extra impatient today?
Want part 2! John Barrowman! John Simm! *taps foot*
ETA: 7h 46m, 6h 0m, 2 days
Yeah, it seems possible I'm just impatient.

So apparently S60 was on last night.
Dude, I spent all day Thursday on the internet, and yet I was uninformed until today.
Way to fail FL, way to fail.

I miss Sports Night. ::heads to DVD cabinet::

I think I just hurt myself flailing.
I'm watching Craig Ferguson, like I usually do, I don't always know who's on until he announces the guests after the monologue, when he did this tonight guest #2 was/is Nathan Fillion!
And there may have been spontaneous, uncontrolled flailing. And I may have pulled something.
Curse you Fillion!

Ok, clearly I did something wrong copying the code. I may have to start over...
When you see this on your flist, make a post and quote Supernatural
"What kind of person doesn't keep salt in their house? Low sodium freaks."
slodwick stole one of the best ones.
Bonus Quote!
"Dean, are you humming *Metallica*?"
"It calms me down."
