Timelies!

A former denizen of another former TT thread I hang out on, recently published his first novel. One of the characters is named "Mickey the Gerund" which made me totally think of the Buffistas. [link]

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

Meep. I'm leaving soon for my first day of work.

I was beginning to like this hiatus stuff too.

I had a fine weekend, alas, the weather is supposed to be just as nice today as it was yesterday and the day before, and I have to Be Indoors....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

He got a good review from Michiko Kakutani? Holy shit, that's amazing.

I know! Most of the reviews have been great. His publisher has been giving it a huge publicity push.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Thanks for the hugs and good wishes upthread, y'all!

And how much do I love the phrasing in this?

amych: It was strangely empowering in its backhanded way, in that it acknowledged that yes, damn it, I was right -- but the fundamental mistrust of authority led to decades of haircolor bills like you wouldn't believe.

Very, very, very much. Also, lots. I may need to tag part of it, if I may, amych.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, I ended up in the hospital for several days, got a spinal tap, couldn't walk. Turned out to be a mysterious ailment that went away on its own ("Must have been a virus settled in the child's spine"). Did the nun apologize? Hell no.

Bad nun! But weirder to me is the fact that just yesterday my coworker was telling me a similar story about her father. He had a harder time recovering, but is now OK, I guess. Weird shit, man.

Edit: I forgot!! CUTEHEAD MAL!!

CUTEHEAD MAL!!

I'll just repeat this. And I swear, my nephew had some of the same outfits. His mom wasa big Pooh fan.

I sent my mom an email yesterday chronicling my mouse adventures. My mom hates mice. Her response was "I think I would have better survived a reenactment of Psycho."

My mom really hates mice. Poor mom. Which is why I have to tell her all my mouse tales.

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