This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Oooh, but the one on Town Creek Drive has an arch! And a spacious kitchen. Nice!

Gor is the poster child of fantasy non-con.

Ugh. People who are into Gorean shit really annoy me. (Mostly because the men treat all women -- and I mean women who they don't know but who are at the same event with them -- like chattel. I enjoy telling them to cram their poorly-written books up their ass.)

And the round top windows on the third one. Forget it, these houses are all to my liking.

My first Gor book was written from an Earthwoman's POV. That was nasty.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I read a couple of the Gor books when I was a teenager, and thought they were dreck. Having that background did pay off bigtime for enjoying it when MST3K did the movie version, though.

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

You know the prices of those houses is killing me.

Me too, Jesse.

Seriously.

Oy. Down to the last few tasks before grades are posted and the semester is over. Why or why has time slowed down?

Xanth I read for a long time as a kid before giving up. I knew it was shit, but read it cause I will excuse a lot for bad puns. Eventually the misogny got to be too much for me, but it took me longer than it should. See extreme fondness for bad puns.

Gor - I think I got 30 pages into one before throwing it against a wall.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

yes Kat all brick. That is virtually all there is, a few siding, but I tend to not like siding.

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

You know the prices of those houses is killing me.

I have the antidote for that: [link]

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The Lovely Bones was my favorite book in the last 10 years (of stuff written in the last 10 years).

I liked it, but I was really annoyed that the inside cover blurb gave away the climax of the book. That colored my experience, I think. Although I'm not sure that I would have felt differently about said climax had I not been vaguely expecting it. I read it a few years ago, so, like ita, my memory of it is hazy. I own it, though, for some reason. In hardcover, even. It may have been a dollar or free or something.
