I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Anyone ever write with a partner? How does that work?

I write fanfic with a partner sometimes. Mostly we just flail at each other, and then write some porn.

Mostly we just flail at each other, and then write some porn.

At which point do you smoke cigarettes?

I do love Paul Krugman:

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Fear and negative equity... The two things we have to fear are fear itself and negative equity, and the depleted capital of financial institutions... Amongst the things we have to fear are fear itself, negative equity, and the depleted capital of financial institutions.

He's even included a link to the Spanish Inquisition transcript!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Mostly we just flail at each other, and then write some porn.

After the porn, natch. And after the Gatorade and sandwich.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Wow. Christopher Buckley just endorsed Obama: [link]

Wearing The Hair Of The Dog. Portraits Of People In Clothes Made From Their Pets' Fur.

My dog is tiny so I've been saving her fur for YEARS. My sisters love to tease me about it and about half of the groomers have made a face when I handed them a bag for the clippings.

Christopher Buckley just endorsed Obama

Yep. Perhaps a man who sprinkles his blog posts with Latin phrases doesn't want to be associated with the slavering loonies who seem be to be growing force at McCain gatherings these days. His entire thing seems to be that McCain's become too unseemly to be associated with, and Obama's a Harvard man, at least, although things aren't what they used to be, even in the ivied halls, etc.

But there's so many highlights! The guy who sticks with me is the one who, when one of the protesters says that Palin charged rape victims for their rape kits, responds with "Let 'em die." I mean, it's amazing that the right has finally found a guy ready to stand up against the tyranny of of the real menace here: women who have been raped and yet continue to live. And then there's the guy who finally clears up the vitriol against ACORN: they're responsible for the collapse of the stock market. Who knew?
