So strap on your helmets and body armor and remember to up-armor your SUVs or hybrids. Evidently war rages through the San Fernando Valley.
Ha! We apparently have war in my neighborhood as well!
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
People, if you're going to use French, use it right.
Lately I've seen people write "Voila" as "Wallah." People on writing lists. It makes me sad.
I like horses' ovaries, though. Who knows, the multi-ethnic ethnic market around the corner from our house might carry them. They have pigs' uteri, after all...

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, OK. That's the one where the mother turns into the wind or something? Possibly I have detachment issues.
No, that is Runaway Bunny-- possibly stalkery if read to, say, a teenager, but lots of little little kids go through a pushme-pullyou stage where they desperately want to be independent and will threaten to run away (or even do so, for about a block) and then fall apart if nobody comes after them immediately. They want the delicious contradictory pleasures of being all on their own and safely looked after and yearned for. For those kids, it's an unutterably perfect book.
Plus, the illustrations are just gorgeous.
That other book, I read once and got rather squicked by, and I've never touched it again.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I want a spaceship full of fireplaces
Yes, you're perfectly normal.

Oh, I'm sure that's true.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I saw Runaway Bunny in the bookstore and mentioned it to a friend of mine who had a nephew ... three or so at the time. She checked it out, liked it, and bought it for him. Someone read it to him and he spent the weekend going from grownup to grownup asking to have it read to him again. So ... it's good for the little ones. Once they hit 16 or so, NSM.
