Yeah. Two, but two very important words. It is why my productivity is not as high as I like when I write. In addtion to regular editing, I have to edits just to catch this sort of thing. And they cannot be immediately after writing. There must be a few hours between finishing and editing before I can catch them.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Not as mind blowing as women/dinosaur, but I just ran into this very short story (from a collection of very, very short stories), and I loved it just enough to translate and share it here:
Final Note about Love (Alex Epstein)
An old saying goes: there's my truth, there's your truth, and the truth. But all I wanted to say about love is that there's my lie; there's your lie; and there's no lie.

Hah. I told the local library they should order Republic of Thieves, the latest of Scott Lynch's Gentlemen Bastards novels, and I got an email today that they had the ebook available! So instead of cooking and cleaning and walking the dog, I'm reading the further adventures of Locke Lamora and Jean Tannen.
Oh, and we finally, finally, meet Sabetha.

Yay indeed, I just wish Locke wasn't such a schmuck most of the time.

I am earwormed with Scott's voice saying "and that would be no fun at all."

Isn't it wonderful? In a highly painful way?
