I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

that's what that whole "princess consort" thing is about, isn't it?

No, not really. If she doesn't take on titles of sufficient royalty, he would lose his own standing as HRH. Which is why Princess Margaret nagged Anthony Armstrong-Jones into accepting a lordship before they married so she could stay a princess and their children would be royal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

msbelle, if it's any consolation (probably not) of the 200 or more resumes I sent off in my last job hunt, I got maybe 5 or so acknowledgements of receipt.

Seattle Times:

When Charles becomes king, she will not be known as Queen Camilla but as the princess consort, Charles' office said.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

yeah, I know. In my first job search out of college, I kept a hardcopy file of everything. In the end, I had sent out over 1000 resumes and heard back from maybe 15-20.

In this case, one of the resumes was sent to a personal contact and not an HR person, so I had expected an email back saying, "got it". anyway, I'll wait a full week before following up.

ION, BK for lunch.

Hokey doke. I stand corrected. Thanks, ita.

Lesbian kisses are the new weddings and/or fires:

"You either have a wedding or you burn down something," Mr. Marshall said. "That's what you do during sweeps week."

Or that's what you used to do, back when "Happy Days" was big. Weddings and fires might provide transfusions of plot for lifeless shows, and they even fit two of four requirements for a good sweeps stunt. But that's nothing compared with the lesbian kiss, which hits all four.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Gah. My coffee seems to be time delayed this morning. I am already going to be late for work, and now I am wondering if I should just go back to sleep and be more late.

That NYT lesbian kiss story has the wrong picture for the Willow/Tara caption. I guess one lesbian kiss is as good as any other.

t eta But I love the story for this line:

And lesbianism on both shows often appears to be a displaced consummation of the intimate, complex relationships between the central male characters: Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) and Nathan (James Lafferty) on "One Tree Hill," and Seth (Adam Brody) and Ryan (Benjamin McKenzie) on "The O.C."

HoYAY!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Someone pointed out (WDC, perhaps?) that they don't say Tara's in the picture. One can wank it -- or one can assume that in a caption where they point out Willow's on the left, they don't need to tell you Tara's on the right.

To me it looked like she was kissing Dawn.

Okay -- the group next to me moved from trash talking their boss to trash talking the only member of their group that's not in yet. I'm skulking behind my monitor to eavesdrop.
