Oh, yay:
I think you mispelled "Oy vey" there.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Me, I threw up in my mouth a little.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm hoping something shiny distracts him long enough for them to hire someone else to write/direct.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
If I'm in shock, someone should really bring me some hot tea.

And did we post about the stuntcasting in The OC yet?
George Lucas. . . as himself.
Also, I didn't know that "The Dresden Files" were in development for Scifi.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Was the particular virgin Greek Orthodox?
Actually, the chances were 50-50, because Yugoslavia is mixed. I think she did end up being Catholic, but don't remember, since we found a whole book on her. It was just the "Virgin of Methagorgeous" brain-to-computer translation that was problematic.
And in other "I found it for her" news, my mother just called me up because her google wasn't working. She says, Which Chandler was it that was friends with the poet Tish, and was depressed, and a drunk? Not Raymond Chandler. Wild googling and guessing on my part ensued, and it developed that she meant Raymond Carver. Luckily, I am a good guesser, because I've never read a word he's written.

Random question. If you were going to spend 3 weeks looking at magical realism, what books would you teach together. Pick 3. And, ftr, it can't be all Garcia Marquez.
Ooh, I love this question.
The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende
1000 Years of Solitude by Marquez
The Mistress of Spices by Chitra Divakaruni
And I'd throw some poetry by Neruda in the mix, maybe. And a short story by Charles de Lint.
Will you be teaching this, Kat? I'd love to know how it works out.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, IIRC the animated 3-D thingie will be based on Clone Wars, the animated show done by Genndy Tartakovsky (the guy who did Powerpuff Girls and Samurai Jack ). I thought CW was pretty good, as Tartakovsky had a fair amount of freedom in plots, characters, etc.

What does he mean by a 3-d thing? Some sort of claymation?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Clone Wars is all those 5-minute animated shorts I happen upon in the middle of something else on Cartoon Network, right? I've no idea what the plot is, but it looks to me like "Samurai Jack In Space" so I can't complain (yet). As with Jack, good use of music to set tone and pace.
