See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, yes, Marilyn as Theda Bara!

And the wee European orphan ecstatically hugging his new shoes, and the Asian woman (Vietnamese?) keening over her beloved, so wild with grief there's a stream of drool falling from her mouth onto the body, and she is so raw and so lost in her sorrow that the line of drool just wrecks you. And the young hotel worker kneeling over RFK.

Aside from Marilyn, it's a pretty bleak book. But astonishing.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Well, looks like I'm sick. And it takes a lot for me to acknowledge that, so.

But I took a pill to break the fever down, and now I feel I'm concentrated enough to do some work. Although I can probably kiss the idea to clean the house today goodbye, and I hope I'll have enough energy to do groceries later.

The only plus side is that I love the idea of spending time in bed with guilty pleasure books.

Be careful what you wish for, for I wished for some vacation.

'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"

Yep, I had that book too -- and poured over some of the same pictures. And in high school I painted an acrylic picture of the melty-head soldier that I have hanging over on the wall here....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am currently unsubbed from Boxed Set, because I'm behind on Stargate, but may I mention the latest guest added to the DragonCon guest list?

EDWARD JAMES OLMOS, my friends.

I am exhausted, yet can't settle on anything. Unable to get work done, and perhaps unwisely, drinking my second coffee of the day. This does not bode well...

And, even though this is supposed to be a strictly climate controlled building, it's very humid in here.

Punishingly Intricate

Those baseball seats on Saturday were great and it was a totally exciting game (well, in the beginning and at the end when it counts!). msbelle and mac both are completely adorable! I was not shocked. sarameg was very patient with us trying to make her house shop.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Sam has so many animal pals!

I am also on my second cup of coffee, and I feel logy and not like doing anything
