Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I put in Chesterton's The Napoleon of Notting Hill, which is in fact the last book I read (finished it during the 2 a.m. feeding last night), and Library Thing Un-Suggested essentially everything Dan Brown has ever written. I can only nod and say, "A wise un-recommendation indeed. For, really, just about anyone."

It also unrecommended The Nanny Diaries, which is a bit more puzzling.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I put in Mystic River, and got a ton of books by Tamora Pierce and Mercedes Lackey.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I put in The Eight by Katharine Neville, Cryptonomicon, and The Mists of Avalon, and got a list of Christian books for all of them.

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

I think you need to go drive to a coffeeshop. Exploding Allyson wouldn't be a good thing for Kristen to come home to.

OK, physical plant is fucking brilliant. They decided to close down portions of the parking garage to the tune of 40-60 spaces to replace the sprinkler system. In December. No guarantees of parking spaces at the next nearest garage, a 5-10 minute walk away. In December.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I put in The Eight by Katharine Neville, Cryptonomicon, and The Mists of Avalon, and got a list of Christian books for all of them.

Heh. I put in that one as well. I meant to try The Secret History.
