Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Doesn't this intrigue: http: / /baconvodka.googlepages.com/154450.html?

Right now the page has exceeded its bandwith allocated. But just look at that URL...

I'm disappointed by the lack of magic with the migraine stuff, but...grr.

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?

Oh, ita, I am so sorry. I wanted magic for you.

Mandy Patinkin Departs Criminal Minds

That sucks. I liked him on that show.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

oh, ita, I'm very sorry. But Bacon Vodka conceptually is cracking me up.

Are ear infections contagious?

bout that Princess Bride Then and Now, Wallace Shawn looks to have lost the least ground of the adult actors, but he wasn't exactly a heartthrob back in the day.

I thought Chris Sarandon actually looked BETTER in the "now" picture, surprisingly. The rest of them...well, let's just say Robin Wright Penn made me go "Damn, please don't make me look that different between 20 and 40, dear god!"

Boring, irritating, and I have a migraine right now.

Damn, that sucks a lot. (Hell, I was kinda hoping it would work so I could tell my not-girlfriend about it!)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

"Damn, please don't make me look that different between 20 and 40, dear god!"

Yeah, but she doesn't really. That was one seriously bad picture. Which I am using as the underpinning of my belief that Cary Elwes too was the victim of a massive photocrime.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, ita. Why was that not the magic bullet? I call bullshit.

I'm back from Fancy Weekend, but I forgot to bring The Book! Der. And of course, after millions of hours of driving, we never went by one Barnes and Noble.

Also, did people talk about "Big Noise from Winnetka" without mentioning Bette Midler? She's how I know the song.

I hope they at least got some useful intel, ita.

I don't know if ear infections are necessarily contagious, but if it is some bacteria causing them, I guess it could be. My experience is only with having them.

ION, looking at MD's comprehension tests...who the fuck writes these things? I found grammatical errors, poor construction, run on sentences and I don't even want to talk about the questions. Some of them relied on inference (good) but because of the poor essays, more than one of the answers could be inferred, legitimately. And I'm not saying this because I don't wanna flunk the test. Boolean logic applied. WTfuckingF?!

And the math stuff? Well, at least they have the answers correct. But good explanation and flow of concepts? Forget it. NCLB my ass. More like No Test Writer Left Unemployed.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I started reading WtVPPLtL and I will only be reading it on the subway where other riders can get a good look at the cover. So that narrows my times down a bit. Still I laughed out loud today and got the "yikes, I'm sitting next to a crazy" looks.

I've reread it a goofy number of times. I realize part of it is that it is part of a world that's meant a helluva lot to me, so reading a love letter to that world? Comfort food. Makes me smile every time.

But it's also just a flat out good read.

I really do wonder how I manage to maintain continuous bruising on both elbows. I don't remember banging them into anything!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Do you lean on your elbows on your desk?
