I'm sure that I had some cheap mass produced crap. I suspect that real turkish delight is quite nice.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I finally had the real stuff and it was MUCH better than prior domestic versions.
Not quite the ambrosia Edmund adores, but I suppose it could be pretty exotic to a war-time English kid.

The status is NOT quo.
Yeah, I've never tried any other kind. I'm sure I'd be disappointed after having "My Father Owns Oil Fields" Turkish Delight.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I should be wrapping gifts and setting to box a bunch for shipping tomorrow. Instead I'm snoozing on the couch watching tv. Ugg. I did the shopping, can't someone else do the other stuff?

Hi. I've had a max of three hours of uninterrupted sleep in the last two nights. I've barely eaten today. But I finished and uploaded my Yuletide story, toddler with earache thwarting bedamned.
I wanted to comment on the religion discussion from the perspective of one raised by atheists, but sadly, was too braindead/Yuletide addled. Someone remind me in the morning, because it's something I've been thinking about a lot.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I read a bunch. I drank wine. I feel the need to repeat this:
Also, that way we got live-action Legolas and Aragorn and Borimir and Farimir and Eomer and NOMNOMNOM.

Your timing is kind of funny, beth, as I was going to say...
Also, that way we got live-action Legolas and Aragorn and Borimir and Farimir and Eomer and NOMNOMNOM.
And Boromir! I loved the books, but he was such an ass in them, and just all conflicted and wonderful in the movies. Peter Jackson totally turned me into a Sean Bean fangurl, and the Sharpe movies finished the job.
eta: Oops. I totally missed, every single time, that the original had Boromir in it. I guess I just really, really wanted to share about my Sean Bean fanaticism.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I brought borscht down to Mom & Dads. We drank a lot of wine and played Oh Hell then I showed them the video for Fairytale of New York. It was a good day.

My uterus is trying to ruin my apartment. After the bleeding on the grout issue I just bled on my duvet cover from sitting on it. Yes, that also means that I bled through my pajama pants as well. FUCK. At least I can just throw it in the washer. Grr.

My brother was a huge fan of Tolkein. I read The Hobbit and stopped. He gave me the trilogy for Christmas one year and I picked the first book up many times but I could never get into it. After I saw the first movie I gobbled up the books. I'm not sure if it was me being a more mature reader or having the bonus visual cues that made them so readable at last.
I remember a long time ago trying to watch the movie Catch 22 and not enjoying it at all. Then I tried to read the book and couldn't get into it. I tried the movie again and enjoyed it and then I could appreciate the book. My brain is weird.
When I read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban I had a real hard time visualizing the character of Sirius. He just didn't fit in my head into the HP universe. Then I found out Gary Oldman had been cast in the part and suddenly Sirius was real to me. I had a point but I think it drowned in my Pinot Gris.
