Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My perfect weekend is ita's, only with more books and less exercise. I can taste that weekend. Would like it so much.

So freaking cool.
I can't pin down a single perfect weekend idea. It's all about location to suit my mood, good weather and very few people, except of my choosing. I tend to just roll with nothing planned. Which is great when I have no obligations, but frequently leads to actual weekends regimented by chores so I don't sink into squalor.
Which isn't my ideal. If that needs to be said.

Great blurb, pd. How cool that you share a Harry Potter edition! That can't hurt your sales...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And seriously, it's so much better than a review. No need for blah-blah-blah pros and cons or whatever, it's just about how the book is awesome!!

Dog is my co-pilot.
My perfect weekend would definitely not include the 12-hour shift I'm scheduled to work tomorrow.
I wish I could show Aimee and MM to my boss and coworkers as an effective example of medium-distance communication. Instead of the yelling from office to office and down the hall that they currently do.
My DH hates it when I call to him from elsewhere in the house. That's the way we did it when I was growing up--In my family, we can project. So now I use my cell to call him on his cell or the landline when we're on different floors.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
We sometimes IM each other from the next seat over.

My perfect weekend would involve being somewhere fabulous with friends....a beach might not be it, unless it weren't beach weather. But there would be hammocks, lots of books, some internet, some movies/tv dvds, and lots and lots of food. And some board or card games.

Yes, as my housemate said when I showed it to him: "That's the type of book that potential readers just need to know about, they don't need a review."

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

Unrelatedly, it hurts. But at least it hurts at home. I may have to work tomorrow, but if so, I do have until 1:30.
Sucks, but could suck worse.
Upside, my Ubuntu box is working. Downside, it's 1280x1024.
I have a decision to make--do I take painkillers to sleep well tonight, or do I suck it up until tomorrow's acupuncture? Of course, there is the risk that I'm in too much pain to drive there...I have hours yet to decide. There's lemonade that needs drinking.
Oh--my perfect day has a range of citrus beverages, including lemonade, limeade, and ortanique juice.
