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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dude, she was talking to me. I have a head injury on which to blame my recent lack of reading comprehension.
But she was still suggesting that people not you would be the nicest. Otherwise, why look elsewhere?

1. I'm not nice.
2. She was asking me to remember that she was the nicest of you or msbelle.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
ita, this looks lovely. There used to be an edition of HCA illustrated entirely by Arthur Rackham, as well as one by Edmund Dulac, but all my searches of currently in-print books so far haven't come up with anything but books of just the illustrations, no actual tales.
b) HEY! Not grumpy.
(at least right now.)

How about now? Then how about now? Now?

As one of the creators and sustainers of this board, ita exists in my mind as larger than any mere list of the nice. She contains, encompasses, and surpasses that list (and is a major arbiter of who does and does not belong on it) and cannot therefore be contained within it, any more than a champagne bottle can be contained within the champagne which it itself contains. It's a whole Beyond Good And Evil thing, only with niceness.
Are you grumpy now?

Hm, all I've got to counter that is hot dogs without buns on Fridays.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I....got nothing else. (Sad, huh?)

Grrrrr. Sewer people did not come today, so I'm on yet another day of Do Not Flush/Brief Shower restriction. I think I may put the overgrown shrubbery to nature's original use by way of protest.

Only about Matt's sewer people.

Do you get a discount or something, Matt?
Thanks for the rec, JZ.

I'm thinking of making a Christmas card out of a photo of my discolored, peeling bedroom ceiling and sending it to my landlord. I know I'm pretty patient about maintenance issues, but it's been months since the Katrina-spawned thunderstorms with no further leakage that would prevent cosmetic repair.
Do you get a discount or something, Matt?
I think I'd get a "just be glad you're on the third floor." I know there are hazards to living in beautiful old buildings, but I'd prefer not to have using the public restrooms available in my slummy area of town be one of them.
