'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

You may have all of mine, frankly.

It's still raining and thundering out there. I'm so glad to be jobfree at the moment, so I don't have to commute in it!

Alas for Nutty's soon-to-be-ex-roommates, who are going to be moving in all this....

Very good weekend, excellent company.

Very early morning. Have to leave early today, hence early morning. But not for anything fun.

Devi found a person not me that she doesn't flee from.

Work. bah.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Here's the first ten:

It's like they know us.

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

I love that list, and think it's great that Deb and Amy are on it. I'm cracking up because I feel that the Functional Training for Sports and A Collectors Guide to Swords, Daggers, and Cutlasses are my fault.

Oh! The hub is now a drooling Krav fanboy, thanks to the big dog's new book (edit: this one: [link] ). Also, the dedication made me tear up a little, even at two degrees.

we were just commenting on the "unfairness" of life that means guys like Victor or a friend Johann pretty much won't get a role unless it's written pretty.

...ita, looking at IMDB, your friend johann IS very very pretty...but it looks like his next few projects are porn??

It's a really good book (which I don't yet own--I'm bad). Well laid out and everything. They put much more in than we were expecting, all the way up to brown belt.

So, basically, all the stuff in there is the stuff I've passed tests on, and the stuff I teach. Which feels kinda weird. It's kind of a big book.

here I was thinking they were mine!

It's a zeitgeisty thing. Neither of us could have done it on our own.

If you're looking at Strictly Sexual it's not porn, althoigh it does deal with sex quite candidly. As for Pornstar, well, I got nothing. I hadn't realised he was in 1408. We totally meant to see that as a group, and it would have been a hell of a laugh to be surprised by him.
