Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

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

Has that happened?

James Rollins followed a similar route, though not through self-publishing. He started out with a very small publisher, but after years of putting out books, he recently got picked up by a large publisher who's now re-releasing his old books, too.

Wow, I never knew that about John Grisham, Barb! Neat.

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

Scola, you continue to rock in ita-compensating ways. Rent duly paid, bad things avoided.

“Not dead yet!”

Admittedly, my brain is tapioca today, but explain to me why I can't find more references to Morpheus within classical mythology books?

Just got back from the corner market. It's official. Page 1, above the fold, is for sale at the LA Times. Actually almost all of page 1 is devoted to an ad for Alice in Wonderland.

Well, mac re-melt down and ran way ahead of me on the way to the subway. Then got his ipod on the subway and calmed all the way. Then wanted me to come in to therapy with him and got very close to a melt down again talking about the loss of ds playing. I got to speak my piece about it is an awful mind-controlling tool of the devil, but even with the suggestion of getting more ps2 games, he is unwilling to concede. The therapist has asked me to consider an arrangement where I hold the ds between all approved playtimes. I countered that I would at least lioke to go until the 27th ds free an mac was near tears. Feh.

Morpheus is a pretty minor figure in Greek mythology, is why.

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

My weekend plans include ice skating on Saturday and a birthday party at Peterson's Car Museum on Sunday. And then looking at Oscar fashions Sunday night. Egad, Oscars, really? I had no idea.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

At least you got to talk about it with the therapist, msbelle....

Near tears? Does that count as progress?

Ugh, man, the DS just sounds like so much trouble, but a bell that can't be unrung.
