Chocolate!
I could totally eat cream pie right now. Instead I think I'm ordering in pizza and eating it with utensils like a weirdo.
I've got my first interview. But it's in Burbank :(.
Tennis!
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

It just got worse. AHHAHAHAHAHAHAaaa.... Seriously broken worse.
And the really funny part is it looks like next time we do this? I get to do it solo. Again.
I may shoot someone.
Hopefully by tomorrow we'll know what all broke and start about fixing it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Now I want pie. Oh, well...

Interesting. From skimming, it seems like it did come down to how much direct quoting & paraphrasing was in the Lexicon. And given the examples in there, I'd have to agree it was way, way too much. Sheesh.
I haven't followed the case to the letter, but what I've gotten from the bits I've read is that SVA's absolute sense of entitlement is what really got him into hot water. And there's no surer way to piss off an author-- especially one who's worked for so long on one world, then to say that you [the fan] deserve to be able to do something with that world not just for fun, but for profit.
Thing is, Rowling had been a huge supporter of the Lexicon website up until the point SVA wanted to publish. Lots of sticky wickets there.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Now I want pie. Oh, well...
Seriously. Like whoa.

Why aren't there ice cream and pie delivery services? I'm far more likely to want ice cream than pizza if I don't feel like leaving the house.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
the People to People exchange program?
One of my students want to Australia with People to People between her Freshman and Sophomore year. She said it was an amazing experience and I think it was so good for her. She is still close with friends she made while she was gone.
Pie, nom nom nom. I need to make a Chocolate Almond Pie.
PD season 2 starts on Oct 1. I can't wait!

Yummmm, key lime pie...
(I have a serious weakness for anything citrusy, especially desserts and juices. I'm starting my diet up again tonight, so most sweet stuff is out the door, but I'm keeping my fridge stocked with concentrates of orange juice and lemonades.)
