On The Best Time I Watched TED Talks as Foreplay
@aphrabean I can thank Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog for my relationship with my boyfriend. It was good wooing material.

@okaycrochet The swimming obstacle race sounds amazing. I would watch that.

On Tetherball Continues to Wait for Her Opportunity
@Decca I would be much more excited about the Olympics if there was a Mornington Crescent round.

Huh, my boyfriend might have pectus excavatum - I'm not sure. He definitely has a noticeable dent in his chest. (I like it - agreed with @MoonBat that it's nice to nuzzle.)

On Really Good Books About Real People: Part Four
@Decca It is pretty cool. I applied for a job at the library there a year ago; knowing that the Ministry of Truth was based on it makes me sort of relieved that I didn't get it.
@Chills Yes, it does a much better job of looking foreboding than the Pavilion does.

I started reading Samuel Pepys' diary (not the complete edition; maybe I should buy another copy) about four and a half years ago, and haven't really looked at it since. Thank you for reminding me! (It was one of the books I took with me for a university interview. I got in, and was subsequently busy with university and going quietly mad.)

@Chills That's said about a lot of UK buildings though, admittedly - I've heard the same about central Oxford and the Brighton Pavilion.

it's much easier to find a good home for a newborn baby than an elderly dog
Especially a baby as cute as yours!

On Elderly Dogs and Babies: A Primer
@elks My parents' cats were eight when my siblings and I were born, but I think were mostly okay (thank goodness). However, I remember on occasion when a family friend came round with her baby daughter. The baby was playing in the living room, with a cardboard box that had held toys tipped up on its side in front of her. My by-then-elderly cat came in, saw the baby, cautiously approached and stuck her head around the box to be friendly. The baby hit her with a rattle. My poor darling!
