I've been having brain fades for the last two weeks. I've been reading that pregnancy makes your brain shrink. That would explain a lot about my mother.
Take me, sir. Take me hard.

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
The joys of genre fandom, from Literary:
Nutty: I read the Koontz book about the people in the town disappearing. It was plenty scary -- till you find out that the scary villain is a giant sapient mushroom. After that? You know, I just don't have nightmares about being chased by an evil all-consuming truffle.
Calli: Wasn't that an X-Files episode?
joe boucher: Wasn't she the big bad of S5?
Nutty: Actually, yeah, but that was a giant sapient hallucinatory mushroom.

If I only had a brain...
Raquel: I plowed through pretty much every Koontz book written up until '91 during one summer of much exercise-biking. I will never ever ever forgive him for using the phrase "his well-oiled piston of lovemaking."
Amych: Eww, eww, eww! What is wrong with these writers today? Why can't they just speak plainly? Why the need for these euphemisms? What, I ask you, is wrong with just coming out and saying "his throbbing manhood"?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
In Natter,
Phill: Did you know today was National Kick An Old Lady Day? Well, it is cuz I just made it up.
billytea: In that case, I declare tomorrow to be Festoon A Gnome With Bacon Rind Day.

So. I just went out and bought the Go-Betweens Before Hollywood based solely on Buffista-rec. And I was nervous. It's not cheap. It felt like a commitment. So I go up the counter and the owner of the CD shop goes bezerk on me. He can't believe I am buying this album: Oh, I'm gonna love it. I know it's 2-discs right? A re-issue with previously unreleased material? What, I haven't heard them before? How did I hear of them? Hey, other guy - this girl's never heard the Go-Betweens and she is buying Before Hollywood! I'm gonna give you three dollars off just because that is so cool. Come back and tell me how you liked it!
Jeez, secret handshake band - no kidding. I have been in this guy's store every other day for the last 7 years or so and have gotten no more than a nod from him.

Does Hallmark have a greeting card for "I'm sorry your team has choked in the first round of the playoffs like 8 times in a row?" It's not that I know how Game 5 is going to turn out for the A's, but my DH is teetering on the edge of fanrage.
Yay Cubs tho. Wouldn't a Cubs/Red Sox series be weird? Either one team would have to break the curse, or the world will end during the series.
In an editorial aside to the last bit, the last time the Cubbies won the World Series was in the same year that a comet smacked into Tunguska, Siberia. Let the world take note.

Huh. The neverending torrent of spam to my work account has just offered me "a free puppy starter kit". Wouldn't that be, like, two mature dogs?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
