We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Painting - originally estimated to sell between 300-500 pounds sells for over 200K lbs because: it's a Titan - or believed to be one.

Oh yeah, I read about that. It's probably worth a whole lot more.

Apparently two people in the auction knew what it was, and one of them had a budget of 200k....

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I've been loving being back in the land of fireflies.

Art Crawl!!!

Did I not link?

I meant to!

And now lot 403: the Old Master worth £5m. Do I hear £300?

That's the actual headline from the Guardian.

Our wings are not tired.

Ugh Connie. We see that in Florida all the time too. Signs all over that we are in a serious drought and burned out sections lining the highways, and people driving I-95 flicking cigarettes out the window.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Scola, would you spoil me? I've been desultorily keeping up with that show, but missed last night.

Aimee, if you're still looking for Ron/Hermione stories, I like Midnight Confessions by Alloy at the Checkmated website (which started out as a Ron/Hermione fanfic site). It;s another longer story (21 chapters), and veers wildly out of what JKR will end up doing in Deathly Hallows, I'm sure, but it's nicely Weasley-centric and even has an adult-rated separate chapter.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

Scola, would you spoil me?

They tried to wrap things up, and a gazillion things happened.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Why stumped?

It's just not an area of the fandom I'm that familiar with. I know of some stories with Ron/Hermione in them, but it's generally in the background. (I'm really good with slash pairings, though.)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Details, man!

Actually I just want to know whether the lovely black FBI agent turns out to be the hero of the story. I would even be marginally happy if she got the boy.

I've thought of a new slogan for Utah: "We'd be Texas if only we drank more beer."
