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

Yay Joss!
I also have to add that both those Kelly Link stories are amazing - especially "Magic for Beginners," which is about a group of very devoted fans of a Buffy-esque TV show. You can find links to "Magic for Beginners" online at the above link

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay!!
In other news, am I crazy for thinking it's a little weird that the ad campaign for The Color Purple on Broadway is all, "It's just so happy! Fun! Love it!"?
In other TV news, I love Shemar Moore SO MUCH on Ellen right now.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
Good gravy with cracklin's! Congratulations David & JZ!

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
Holy carp! A Zmayhemette! Good news this Monday!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
shrift! How's the new digs?
