Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

New thread!

Also, yay for Allyson's cover!

Awesome cover!

And billytea never fails to deliver.

I've been thinking a lot about sense memory today. See, I used a new body wash, purported to be sandalwood and cocoa butter. And as I sniffed, I was transported back to summers at Ghost Ranch, showering in Corral Block's community showers. I was recalling how the path to Chimney Rock started behind Corral Block, and the nights I spent up there, wary of falling over the edge. And the hospital surplus beds in Corral Block, and volunteering for daycare duty, and of little Sarah with cerebral palsy. The walk to the caf under the shadow of Kitchen Mesa, the cougars we'd watch prowl its edges, the storms as we climbed the other mesa to the housing above. Dartgrass wars amongst the children of pacifists. Of the blowing cottonwood fluff, and the fresh cut alfalfa. Of the coyotes' howls at dusk from the refuge and the whickering of the horses down past the cantina. Drifting to late night conversations of our parents about Sanctuary and arrests and trials and routes while we bunked in the casitas and teepees. Snapdragons and jello.

Why? Because the fancy Dove body wash smells like Dial, the staple soap found in the community bathroom.

I ought to go back someday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The Powell's affiliate link just takes you to Powells.com which seems odd, like if it is tracking shouldn't it be a longer and unique URL?

Yeah, I don't know what's up with that. I guess I should look into it.

Love! Cutest silly things.

TOKYO - A glittering bathtub made of gold worth nearly $1 million has been stolen from a resort hotel, an official said Wednesday.
I have an alibi! Swears!

Wow, sarameg, great places to be reminded of ... just stunning.

Fantastic book cover!

Maybe I'm the only one, and that would be too bad, since I don't really need to be sold on it, but the Fresca comparision alone would make me buy it right away!!

You are not alone, because totally this. Awesome blurb.
