They let you drive yourself home after dilating your eyes? I always had to bring a driver when they did that.
I wouldn't have if I didn't think I could do it safely, and I'm pretty sure she knew that. It was safe, too, just very very cautious.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I'm spending the evening reading fanfic and listening to my Christmas-gift CDs--"Love" by the Beatles, and greatest hits albums by Elton John and Depeche Mode; it's been forever since I've heard "I Just Can't Get Enough," and the cat was looking at me strangely when I started bopping around the dining room as soon as I heard the opening notes.

While I'm thinking of it, 2 books from the 'rents that other parents might like for their kids.
Hedgie (a hedgehog- we like them lots in my family) helps a hen outsmart a tomte stealing her eggs: [link]
And Hedgie the janitor hedgehog gets to shoot into space and save the day: [link]
Both are beautifully illustrated, the former more traditional, the latter spacey and sparkly!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Watching the season finale of Dex. Hmm. I randomly called some of this, just because I felt the need to call. There's no sense of righteous victory in that.
The way Dex walks is hot.

There's very little about Dexter that isn't hot.

I post about childrens' books when everyone else is talking about serial killers....

Well, you could post about John Wayne Gacy--clown at children's parties as well as a serial killer, thus uniting the two themes!

Kathy, you are so very Wrong.

Hee!
Actually, I had an assistant manager at the bookstore whose landlady was Gacy's first wife. Very creepy, thinking about being married to a killer, especially one as notorious as him.

Because books.
See, and I was going to say Kathy's suggestion was so very Right, in that good and twisted wrong way.
John List was from the town where I grew up -- he was another one who killed his entire family, disappeared, and remarried to a completely clueless woman (clueless about his past, that is). So creepy to think about how she felt when they caught him.
