"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You're always taunting me that way.

Well, I'm evil but in that sensei way. Eventually you'll say, "Fuck Phoenix! I'm moving to where it's foggy!"

I've already said that...it's gonna take a while for the PTB to line things up in that direction, though. I suspect it could happen. It is one hundred and fucking *seventeen* degrees today here. Hostile seventeen.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Summerland, by Michael Chabon.

Such a good book. That is all.

Quick recovery wishes for erika's Mom. And surcease of heat for those that wish it.

That sounds good to me. (Singing "Only Happy When It Rains", not that well.)

Who do I have to kill to get one of those here?

Got any sacrificial virgins handy?

Happy Birthday Juliana!

Happy Belated Birthday to Ouise, jengod and Paul! (I don't think I've ever posted with Paul.)

Er, actually, that's all I got. We got thunderstorms last night, but they were not cooling. At. All.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm seeing a lot of HP fandom flipping out in sort of the same way Buffy fandom did in the later seasons. "That's not the character I built up in my head for umpteen months! I didn't get what I WANT! WAHHHH! Fanfic is better than canon!"

And that's even with most people really liking the book. But still. It's curious to see the dynamic assert itself again and think, "What is this reminding me of? Oh yeah...Seeing Red."
