Jilli, whatever you have that's making you feel less than your best, I hope they figure it out, and get you fixed up quickly.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Bweeee! Erin, if you don't want it, I will happily give it a home.
I have an autographed copy of Something Wicked This Way Comes, too. It's the copy I won at my very first convention, when I was a week geekling of about 10. (My dad took my best friend and I to the con. We were in costume as researchers for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Yes, we had towels with us.)
So my copy has the movie poster cover (which is gorgeous), and Ray Bradbury signed it for me in 1997, when I met him at Dragon*Con. I also have a photo of him holding Clovis.

Keep breathing!
In 7th grade one morning, my friend and I were sitting side-by-side and reading before class. I was reading an Agatha Christie and she was reading Ray Bradbury. The teacher walked in front of us, pointed to our books and said, "wow! By the Pricking of my Thumbs, Something Wicked This Way Comes!" What's that called? Synchronicity? Serendipity?

Jilli, just shoot me your addy (profile email) and I will send it to you this weekend.

I've got a bunch of signed books that I picked up at various BookExpo America conventions, but my favorite is the Julie Andrews kids book.

Because I'm in That Sort Of Mood, I just looked up 1st editions of SWTWC. $1,650. Ouch.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I have an ancient edition of King Solomon's Mines and a few other really early editions. Not sure if any of them are firsts. I also have a nearly complete set of early 1900s edition of the Yale Shakespeare Library.
Oh, this book talk reminds me! So Jon bought me a Kindle from a friend of ours for about $70. Shortly after, Ozymandias (once again living up to his name) ate it. That same friend bought one of the bigger Kindles a few weeks ago, and GAVE ME HIS! How awesome is that?

Pretty damned awesome DJ. Congrats!
I have a 1945 translation of Felix Salton's Bambi, featuring a letter from the author. And a 1919 Three Men in a Boat. The cover of TMinaB is lovely red with gold gilting, but the cover has come off. Sad.

I still drool over my godfather's rare-book collection. He has all of the first editions for both Tolkien and Jack London.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Does anyone have suggestions for cooking summer squash, please? My usual thing is to lightly steam or bake a vegetable, then hit it with butter and/or vinegar. But steaming and baking leave summer squash slimey. Likewise putting them in casseroles. My usual solution is to just not buy summer squash, but they're coming in with the CSA now so I'm stuck with them. Can I use them in bread like zucchini?
