Yeah, and about those cookie crumbs that are all over the medulla oblongata--they ain't mine.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Thanks for all the fish.
They're Otis', and they aren't so much cookie crumbs as chaw.

Oh, god, no . . . Damn it, I've told him to clean out the spittoon. Martha is going to have his hide.

But, but...Onassis had no charm, Kissinger had charm. I'd do Kissinger. I'd drown Onassis. But then, I never got Prince Ranier and Grace, either. It's not like I'm thinking of physical attributes, but at least Kissinger we saw enough of on TV to have some idea of how he thought and I find intelligent men extremely sexy. Onassis and Ranier may have been/is intelligent, but it's never been demonstrated to me. Money, land, whatever, are ephemeral, brains are forever (in most cases, Alzheimer's not included).

Thanks for all the fish.
Oh, but you are wrong. Enough money and enough land will last forever. Or at least long enough to keep you and your children and your children's children safe and secure.

And, you know, after you've had your husband's brains splattered on your suit, "safe and secure" sounds mighty fine, from all reports.

I'm too much the romantic, I guess. I might momentarily consider marriage for security, but would always wind up going with true love. Probably why I haven't remarried since my divorce.

Onassis dumped Maria Callas after she practically abandoned her career for him. Feh on him for that.

Well, they wouldn't email, or say WTF, I expect. They'd probably just sit and not say anything, potentially stewing.
Yuppers. And post random and anonymously snarky comments to random places, alluding to the "self-proclaimed arbiters of good fic"...
No, I'm not bitter. See me not being bitter here.
I used to worry about fandom politics and reccing. Mostly, it's just too exhausting. What goes up at PolyRecs goes up, and people can deal.
I am aware of fandom politics and reccing. But it's not gonna make me change my stance, except insofar as I've stopping giving even limited qualifications of recs on my page. In other words, I say, "great prose, challenging characterizations, worth reading." I don't say, "great prose, but I found Zhaan's actions to be entirely contrary to everything I know about the character. However YZhaanMayVary, and it's a great story otherwise, so read it and make up your own mind."
Because no matter how much I emphasize the subjectivity of my responses, people get their poor sensitive feelings hurt. I'm tired of the snarky emails and all, but I won't stop reccing stuff I find worthwhile, and ignoring the self-indulgent wish-fulfillment fantasies that pass for fiction in so many places...
Sorry, I haven't had my first caffeine of the morning.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Heh. Unfortunate Harry Potter ff.net summaries. My favorite by a hair:
Its the annual staff Christmas party! Severus brings his jellyfish wife and Hermione gets serenaded.
...because, well, jellyfish? I mean, I understand that this is a fandom that has squid slash, but...
