I miss my old Bones. :( The pre-Season 6 Bones. I find that I am no longer interested in watching the episodes, simply because I’m bored with the cases, the dialogue sounds trite and coming out of (really badly written) fanfiction, and the characters seem like caricatures of themselves.
That being said, I’m still a casual fan of Castle and The Big Bang Theory, and I am really,...

Other Lives and Dimensions and Finally a Love Poem
My left hand will live longer than my right. The rivers of my palms tell me so. Never argue with rivers. Never expect your lives to finish at the same time. I think
praying, I think clapping is how hands mourn. I think staying up and waiting for paintings to sigh is science. In another dimension this is exactly what’s happening,
it’s...

Star Adam Zagajewski I returned to you years later, gray and lovely city, unchanging city buried in the waters of the past. I’m no longer the student of philosophy, poetry, and curiosity. I’m not the young poet who wrote too many lines and wandered in the maze of narrow streets and illusions. The sovereign of clocks and shadows has touched my brow with his hand, but still I’m guided...

“But perhaps because you did not bother even to read our paper, or perhaps because you aren’t very bright, you seem not to understand that we have the actual, living bacteria that exhibit the properties reported in our paper, including both the ancestral strain used to start this long-term experiment and its evolved citrate-using descendants. In other words, it’s not that we claim to...

How to make a Jeffersonian Lab Coat
brenchcoats:
Disclaimer: To be completely honest, this is more of a “What not to do”. I’m not entirely uncreative, but infamous among friends and family for jumping into things without any sort of planning or procedure and then completely stuffing it up. As it happens, during the process of making my lab coat I stuffed up almost every step. So rather than me providing you with detailed and...

OMG! 100 FOLLOWERS!
Hi everyone! :D Thanks for following me. I haven’t done this intro bit in ages, so I might be a bit out of practise. But just so you know, this tumblog will contain (most probably) the following:
A lot of Bones. (The TV show, not the skeletal system.)
Perhaps a bit of Castle. (Again, the TV show, not the fortress.)
A bunch of books - Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, bits and pieces of...

Someday
Someday I’d like to live in a place where I would learn, aside from reading, writing, and sums, that you should start saving at an early age, and that insurance is cheaper before you turn 25.
Someday, I’d like to live in a place where I don’t have to carry a small knife in my back pocket whenever I have to walk in a secluded part of the street.
Someday, I’d like to be...

Choose Your Own Adventure by Kat Howard →
The most dangerous moment in any story is the beginning.
As the story opens, every ending is equally possible, every path unwalked, every question not only unanswered, but unasked.
The unread story is infinite possibility. Yet the ending is already written, and though you be clever, though you be brave, there is no outwitting it.
Are you brave enough to begin? If so, turn to page 1. If not,...

More Catholic Than The Pope? Manila Suburb Cracks... →
“Indeed, rather than encourage safer sex practices — like, say, condom use — the country’s Catholic hierarchy promotes what they call ‘natural’ family planning, wherein women are advised to abstain from sex on all but their least-fertile days. Birth control pills, condoms and even IUD’s are as as ‘abortifacients,’ reproductive rights advocates denounced...

the chatterbox: Be Near Me by Faiz Ahmed Faiz →
cacchieressa:
Be Near Me
You who demolish me, you whom I love, be near me. Remain near me when evening, drunk on the blood of the skies, becomes night, in its one hand a perfumed balm, in the other a sword sheathed in the diamond of stars.
Be near me when night laments or sings, or when it begins to…

I still can’t believe you haven’t. Rewatching it, it still hurts and I still had to take out my ear plugs when the subject of fig trees came up, but it’s easier and it’s in quick succession things so aren’t as drawn out, it’s more… logical in a way
Yeah, I know. Delayed gratification, I suppose. Still don’t have a Region 3 copy...

The hotness doesn’t bother me. I like it hot. I just don’t like the flavour of wasabi. Not even a little. I’m well, it’s my evening off, and I’m up to ep 10 in my Bones S6 rewatch. How are you?
Really? I love wasabi as long as it’s mixed in well with soy sauce. But then, it was an acquired taste, so I get what you mean. :)...

gravenrose replied to your photoset:Wasabi-flavored KitKat that my boss brought back…
Seriously? Oh thats… wow I couldn’t handle that.
It wasn’t spicy, or I mean, you know that odd sensation of eating wasabi and having the heat fill up your nostrils? There was only a little hint of that. So you have the white chocolate, so the sweetness hits you first, and then there’s that...
