Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My mom bought him a new bookcase, because Auntie has gone a little nuts with the books. I also sent a bunch Kat gave me to send.

My mom says that it's a "someone is playing complete attention to me" thing. They're curled in your lap, and you're reading to the little one, and the world just sort of stops. There's all kinds of sensory input, voice, imagination, pages turning, colorful pictures.

I dunno what it is, but I know that since I'm so far away, being the fairybookauntie is the best I can do. Feeds his big huge bowling ball of a head with goodness.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Also? Books are easy to wrap and ship cross-country (another long distance aunt here!).

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

So I showed up for rehearsal today and discovered that I'm doing a show with John Malkovich. That was unexpected.

should be punished for using perfectly good air for evil

Maybe that's why they want to get rid of the perfectly good air (and water).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So I showed up for rehearsal today and discovered that I'm doing a show with John Malkovich.

Tell him I said 'Hi'.

When he asks who I am, just say, "Some weird guy. You've never met him."

"My drink preference does not indicate my sexual preference. "

Timelies, Beautifuls! Personally, I think if you know the kind of books the person would enjoy, books are the perfect present.

Unless it's a book completely outside their genre. Then it's the hell present, because you never finish the book, and you feel guilty because it was a gift from a much beloved family member. Every time you try t read it, it's so awful you flee, and the guilt cycle begins again, where the guilt forces you to try just one more time. Hoping it's not as bad as you thought. Then the book gets all, "Ha! I suck like Fangurl33098^^!!!!!!1!!" Than, you are left with remorse. And extra guilt at not finishing said gift book.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

That's very cool, aurelia.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

So I showed up for rehearsal today and discovered that I'm doing a show with John Malkovich.

Oooh! Oooh! When he walks in for the first time, anything you all say to him you should just say "malkovitch, malkovitch, MALKOVITCH"

I hear he loves that.

hip deep in pie

Jon Stewart was mocking Malkovich the other night. Saying he was crazier than Daniel Day Lewis.

Too late. I pretty much left it at "hi" and "thank you" when he held the door for me.

Jon Stewart was mocking Malkovich the other night. SAying her was crazier than Daniel Day Lewis.

I guess I'll just have to work with DDL next so I can compare.

Have you seen DDL lately? He and Malkovich are hard to tell apart.
