This was in my parking lot yesterday.

When I was a kid in Tanzania, we used to leave food out for the various animals that came up on to our porch at night. Mongooses looooved eggs, and they cracked them in a funky way: by throwing them between their hind legs at a wall.

And now you can watch mongooses doing the same thing at the Denver Zoo! (We left out raw eggs, so it usually only took one good throw, but in the video they were given hard-boiled Easter eggs.)





title is a nerd joke: what's the plural of mongoose? Polygoose!

Finally!

I just got the news that I passed my novel editor test for the Digital Manga Guild! Woo! Is there anyone out there who's a DMG novel translator who wants a partner? :) DMG will pair people up if we're not in pairs already, but it would be nice to work with someone I already know.

Foooood

So...if we grill Russian Onion and Pork Kebabs thus weekend, what would work for sides? The kebab recipe involves marinating the pork overnight with ground coriander, salt, pepper, and a metric fuckton of onion, and is served with Russian-style black bread and a sort of ketchup made with tomato sauce, lemon juice, and a couple of other things.

Vegetables needed in this dish!

Have just finished two bloody hours of going through 1Password and changing the password on all sorts of accounts, as the standard password I'd used on throwaway accounts for years got caught in the Yahoo password breach thing. I'd been meaning to do so anyway, and had been using 1Password and randomly-generated passwords to create accounts for a year now, but now I should, more-or-less, be safe. I actually had 3 throwaway passwords I rotated through, but they're all consigned to the dustheap of history now.
