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

My brain constructs these elaborate and impractical things and holds my peace of mind hostage for them. It makes me very tired, and I only fall for it when I'm having a migraine.

Which, you know, is almost always. And certainly is now.

I wish I could take him Saturday, actually. But I just volunteered to help point or something at some krav thing this weekend, and then just sit there while everyone else actually does, you know, exciting krav stuff that I've never done before and don't know when I'll next get a chance to try.

Did I cover frustrating yet?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Kat, I love your blog. Hey, if you have a window of opportunity on Saturday, I'd love to see you. I have stuff for you, well, for your kids actually, but you know.

I find the Blair Underwood character improbable. Why no accent?

When I was in Soviet Russia I remember being surprised at how anti-Semitic they were.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh yeah. There is that.

People suck everywhere, huh?

Only place I've been called a nigger to my face was Moscow. But it was in a nice way?

"I love niggers! You're so great! Can I have my picture taken with you?"

He was very damned lucky he stopped using the word before the black American came out, that he was only using it in front of the two Africans and the Jamaican.

One of the African women turned to the other and said "What's a nigger?" "I think it's like a kaffir, but maybe worse," said her friend. I just tried not to make faces and stayed out of the photos.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Hey, ita, there was a guy on the bus today who looked *just* like Colin. Only shorter.

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

Little known fact: book deals cause tooth decay. These are the risks you take, Author Lady

You're going to have to argue that one with my mother. She raised me to believe he was one. I think of him as the Batman of the League of Founding Fathers.

Dang, Ginger, you are on FIRE lately!

I don't know what you're doing... vitamins? Sleeping better? Getting some? Whatever it is, keep it up. Funny funny funny lady.

Welcome L.R.!!!!

(I read her profile. Its like we have a new Holli to raise!!!! Aw, man, remember when Holli was little and wouldn't go in Bitches? They grow up so fast... It's the ciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiircle of boaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard )

in mac's current world this is how things are - SUPER HEROES: top tier of the world, deserve most of his attention; TRANSFORMERS: almost equal with superheroes, but not yet as he does not have any of their toys; OTHER CARTOON FOLK: move up and down in importance depending what is on; CHARACTERS IN BOOKS OR ANYTHING FROM SCHOOL not covered in the previous categories: fleeting interest

Man, that kid turned American in about thirty five seconds.

So years ago, I read this bio about an african american kid who had been raised in the Soviet Union. His parents had immigrated there because they thought that life would be better, less racist etc. Can any of you help me find the book again?
