Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Oh my dude. Some guy is suing for a bad book review:

He sues everyone. He is a darling of the creationists, not because he is a creationist, but because they use his crude attempts to advance his childish, uninformed theories as evidence of "controversy" about evolution. Moron.

Some one figured out that the Enterprise (Kirk version) had only one bathroom so....

Man, I was prepared to be contemptuous of his sue-happy ways, but now I feel like crawling under my desk and not coming back out until I can come up with ten reasons not to exploderate the universe.

Disturbing video from GodTube:

OK. I'm not a pacifist. I'm writing military historical fiction, and I kinda love swords. And that video STILL gives me the creeps. I just don't recognize their Christianity. It's nothing like mine. It's not even like the evangelicalism/fundamentalism I grew up with. Something's changed. It's like the more power they get, the more invested they are in being a persecuted minority that needs to go on the warpath. I don't get it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

until I can come up with ten reasons not to exploderate the universe.

  • SGA season 4!
  • your weird band thing
  • DragonCon
  • french fries
  • Korean shows about coffee and waffle-makers

There, that's half of the work.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hec, will Emmett be around this weekend? (That is, when I'M IN SAN FRANCISCO?)

Sorry, no. He's at Mom's house this weekend. You're going to miss his new weird affectation: talking like Sammy Davis, Jr.

And I get to meet Matilda!!!

She's totally fun!

Jess, not only is Emmett going to middle school, he's almost five feet tall and weighs 107 pounds (most of which is pretty beefy muscle).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Shut up.

He's big and stuff! His shoe size is 8 1/2. It's weird when I put him to bed and he sprawls across the whole length of the mattress. I'm still kind of used to him only occupying the upper quadrant.

I mean, those home runs he's been hitting are about 210-220 feet. You've got to extrapolate a little bit. That's 2/3rds of a major league home run.

Heh. Emmett is bigger than Allyson and Hil.
