Man was I crashed - mac up at 6:30 and I went back to bed, not fully up until 11.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Suela,
Thank you for that. I hadn't heard of the man before the "scandal" broke and the half-dozen or so articles I read about him didn't mention the American-born aspect. (I could have checked Wikipedia, I suppose, but I tend to be a bit distrustful of it whenever there's big news about something that could inspire folks to start frantically adding their own personal spin to the related articles.)

I read an entire Scott Westerfeld book today, so I can't say I haven't accomplished something today. Still, there's enough time to actually Do Something, I hope.

“Not dead yet!”
In between writing on the NaNo project, I've been procrastinating playing on Photoshop.
I'm not done with it-- it's just a first try and I'm not nuts about the font proportions. But I was especially happy with how removing the ad text came out.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I often love John Scalzi: People/Things I Would Vote For President Before I Would Vote For John McCain.
What I particularly love about this entry is how he mentions his Nader rage from 2000; I thought that *I* was the only one who still can't let go of her Nader rage. I seriously ranted about it just the other night, for about 20 minutes, to The Boy. I think he listened so patiently only because he was doped on percocet.
But seriously, y'all. God DAMN.
Anyway, I ALSO love this entry because of #10. Teratoma!

Always Anti-fascist!
Nope. And I used to admire him, too, so that's kind of sad.

Kat, I love this one with the two Things chattering. Also, we have the same Snack Trap.
We have 5 (YES. FIVE) Snack Traps. Or we've purchased 5. I can actually only find 2 of them. The white one is no longer one of them.
