Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I think it's probably fine, Sue.

Yay for EMMETTDAY!

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

There was a Bond movie that had long snappy beast in it and they filmed bits in Jamaica, but whatever we normally have there isn't the same snappy beast and now I'm very confused and I should probably just go for the nap and stop trying to use my brain.

probably "Live and Let Die".

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

I didn't nap--I instead called home and yelled at my father, conspired with my sister, and kept my mother calm. Fair deal.

Now I have to go google Live and Let Die, but first--Robin Wright Penn continues to be a genetic anomaly. She's just lovely. Buttercup still, indeed.

Aha! Here's a bit from the IMDB goof page from the movie that gels with my memory:

There are alligators and crocodiles living together in the Louisiana Bayou. Only alligators live in the fresh water of the Bayou. The only place in the world where alligators and crocodiles meet in the wild is in the Everglades of Florida, where salt and fresh water meet in estuaries.

Somewhere I have pictures of our trip to the farm. Looks like the bad guy got named after the owner of the farm because the name (Kananga) was that cool.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Dr. No took place almost entirely in Jamaica.

They love each other.

Ayup, it was set there. I was giving the Jamaica Tourist Board speech (ita version) the other night while I was in the ER to calm myself down and distract myself from the pain--brief Bond recap: Ian Fleming owned property in Jamaica, and James Bond is the name of an ornithologist who'd written a book on Jamaican birds. Dr. No is set in Jamaica (filmed in Ocho Rios), and some of the short stories (Octopussy comes first to mind) are also set there.

Anything else you want to know will have to wait for extreme pain and you taking me to the ER. Those seem to be the ingredients.

Matilda looks calmly at home in that second picture. "This is my Emmett."

Emmett and Matilda kill me. They are so sweet together!

You can call me any time you want me to take you to the ER. I live 3,000 miles away and I don't have a car, though.

If that is a required ingredient I hope we all wait forever.
