Allyson in Minearverse:
It's all very McGyver. "Here's 3 dollars, a case of red bull, the set from Alf, and three crackheads we found behind the House of Pies. Make a television show, and make sure it'll appeal to 18-49 males."
Weird love's better than no love.

I think scholars should gather to espouse the merits of me. It would be very validating.

What is even happening?
Susan on Motherhood: Oh, and I saw this documentary on feral children that included a comparison of the brains of normal and neglected toddlers. The neglected kids' language centers are actually stunted or absent. And even though I rationally know Annabel is getting all the language exposure she needs just by being a wanted child in a reasonably loving family, I catch myself just pumping her brain full of English every time I'm holding her. Which includes singing my way through the old Baptist Hymnal I salvaged when my high school church got new ones, and reading the Aubrey/Maturin and Hornblower novels to her.
Kid's gonna have an odd and bloody vocabulary.

But be vigilant, people! We'll only continue to exist as long as enough of us persist in the shared fiction. If your attention lapses, suddenly we might all be stranded in Mongolia or something.
Deena
At least we'd be together.
Nutty
Yeah, in MONGOLIA!!
(No offense to Mongolians. I have a yurt-avoidance issue.)
DXMachina
Check, no yurts for Nutty.
Mongolia seems like it might be fun for a short while. They have horses. Okay, all I actually know about Mongolia is what I saw in PBS special starring Julia Roberts.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
In Minearverse, a newbie proves to be a true Buffista:
The Partyman: Ooh. Might have to try and get to see that!
PaperDragon: You should replace 'might' with 'I', 'have' with 'am', 'to' with 'definitely', 'try' with 'going'. Switch the 'to' with the 'and', finally deleting the 'get'.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

If nothing we post matters, then all that matters is what we post.

What gets RIGHT up my nose about Terminal is that it looks like Hanks is doing Forrest Gump again, except foreign instead of developmentally delayed.
He's going to put the Negroes out of work if he keeps being this magical!

In Angel, spoilery for absolutely nothing, except Allyson's Green Lantern hate:
Strega: I fear the guac.
Allyson: The guac is green, so it can apparently be foiled with yellow.
