Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
A former denizen of another former TT thread I hang out on, recently published his first novel.
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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
