Pus, hey, The Privelege of the Sword is ALL over the notion of how gender impacts upon freedom, complete with swashbuckling, crossdressing and hot sex.
And is a kick-ass, wonderful story that bring all sorts of happiness to those who loved
Swordspoint.
Thanks, Fay! I'll check out their LiveJournals.
Sorry about asshat snobbery, Susan.
{{{Aimée}}} Everyone else got there first, and everyone else is wise, so I'm just going to point upthread and nod. And I'm glad Joe's dad is there for you guys.
And, um, the entire state of California will leave the light on for you.
Hee. Yeah, what JZ said.
Good gods am I tired. I am so friggin' glad that I don't have to work next week. Of course I do have the whole hosting/cooking thing going on, but I'm going to try to keep that as low key as possible. I do need to make a list of Shit I Haven't Had Time To Do in Months, though.
One of Annabel's library books this week is called Captain Flinn and the Pirate Dinosaurs. This strikes me as the best kids' book title ever.
Captain Flinn and the Pirate Dinosaurs.
...and their Splendiferous Zeppelin Escapades.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any better.
What is up with this double posting issue I've been having lately?
I shall take this opportunity to say that I would like someone to deliver my six-person hot tub right now, please. And a masseur.
I'm watching Slings & Arrows. But not at KT & ND place. I feel so dirty as if I was cheating or something. Thank goodness its funny.
Oh, fer cryin' out loud...
So, I got a response to my post on the writers' list. Here's part of it:
And, unfortunately, the language you are not ashamed of, is part of a larger problem; claiming you "adore" something, or are "fascinated" by some aspect of history, for example, are very "feminine" uses of language. I have learned to avoid them, as they tend to sound gushy to me.
Is it too girly of me to roll my eyes forever? I mean, first I'm silly for enjoying stories about girls doing traditionally male activities, and then I'm diminishing myself by using traditionally feminine language? WTF?
