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

Well, but, well...I have to admit I'm posting links because I want to talk about them with people. The mentioning of the contents sort of flows from there.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Jeez ita, suicidal retail clerks make you think of me?

Don't get lost in the trees, woman -- look at the forest. It's a blog chronicling local events from the 1940s as if they were happening in real time.

I think it's charming, clever, and retro, and sue me if those qualities make me think of Allyson.

Oh! ita reminds me. When I was at Sephora last night, I checked out the smashbox section and they have a new winter line of cosmetics and everything is named after LA bars & clubs. There was an eyeshadow called "The Derby" that made me think of Allyson, even though they were colors she would never wear.

Ooo! What color is it? If I have a confirmed contract in the next couple weeks (knock wood), I may have to blow some dough on cosmetics.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Allyson, I saw this and thought of you. Bonus Black Dahlia countdown.

Isn't that Hec's co-editor on that blog? It's a neat project.

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

More on that cat that ran away from Wisconsin to France:

The wayward tabby from Wisconsin who disappeared two months ago and wound up traveling across the Atlantic to France boarded a Continental Airlines flight Thursday — in business class.

...

“This was such a marvelous story, that we wanted to add something to it,” Fleury told AP Television News. A full-fare ticket for Emily’s seat would normally cost about $6,000 and the airline provided a company escort for the cat.

Plus a cute picture with the caption:

Emily the wayward tabby looks through the plane window before heading to Wisconsin on Dec. 1.
