I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What, so the coyotes get the goats instead of the sheep?

Yup.

[eta that they apparently also make good eating. So they're not all being used as wolf-bait.]

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

Wool makes me itch and lamb is stinky. Can I have fainting sheep to save my goat herd?

Neil Gaiman is a hottie.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I didn't need ita's link to know Neil Gaiman's hot. (And he's Guest of Honor at Balticon this coming May)

well, car didn't start this morning, and we don't have jumper cables. Therefore, I am waiting for AAA's battery truck to arrive.(You learn something new every day. I didn't know they had a service that brought batteries out to cars needing them. Though it does make some sense...)

My AAA never brought me batteries! They did jumpstart though, and that's all I needed the times I had to use them.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We had a friend who had fainting goats. You could sneak into the barn and then clap your hands and they would all topple over. He wasn't evil, so you could only do the "falling goat surprise" once a day and the rest of the time one had to be careful not to startle them. But they were hiLARious.

I don't think it's actually possible to backtrack far enough for it to make sense.

That, I believe.

Sorry about the car troubles Sheryl.

Back from 9am soccer game. Lovely perfect day. The park is having some groundbreaking thing and they have tents set up with food, and music, games and activities for the kids, and a clown. I sent the kids over, but I'm too tired to bother. I may stumble across the street later.

Hawaii in the news today:

Michelle Rodriguez and some other Lost actress got picked up for DUI. [link] The Pali Highway is pretty narrow and windy - at least they didn't crash.

Kilauea Volcano has been making new land on the Big Island in a continuous eruption since 1983. A 44 acre lava shelf sloughed off into the ocean this week, leaving a 60 ft seacliff and a six-foot diameter firehose of lava pouring out. [link] Cool. t eta More cool lava pictures here: [link]
