Plei, thanks for the link. Read the article and avoided the comments.

This is wise. Like, sometimes Reason will have good articles where they wrestle with their ideals and personal moral code vs. the rough reality of life and history, and ask the tough questions any political group should ask if they want to be taken seriously, and then in the comments, it's all the blowhards claiming that the author's not ideologically pure enough, and is just a closet collectivist, and all sorts of crap that leads to reinforcement of the more commonly-found stereotypes.

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

Compassionately intolerant

I picked up Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows audio CD's from the library for the epic drive from California to Colorado. I have never done an audio book before.

OMG! I have all the books on cassette, cd and hardback. I'm ill that way.

BUT, the HP books are brilliantly read by Jim Dale. I just love them.

You might also enjoy the LOTR series read by Rob Ingles. Fantastic.

I'm currently (as in, right this minute) listening to Echo in the Bone, the latest in the Gabaldon Outlander series. I like them all.

OH! And the Amelia Peabody series is read by Barbara Rosenblatt, a real legend in the biz. I like the characters and the Egyptian archeology/mystery.

I am in drooly love with audiobooks. Name a genre and I can suggest a great reader!

Emmett and I are very partial to Stephen Briggs doing Terry Pratchett. Your feelings?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am now ensconced in a suite in one of those kind of extended stay places. Holy crap, y'all. This place is possibly bigger than the first apartment my husband and I had. I almost wish I was staying here longer so I could enjoy it all.

At least I don't have to be back at the airport godawful early. I'm missing another day of work, but I'll make up the time at some point. I am going to sleep, wake up in time to go eat free breakfast, and then possibly go back to bed.

K took Noah to urgent care about an hour ago because his fever spiked to 106F. To me, that's brain damage levels. I hate worrying.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, no, Kat! Poor Noah!

Scary, Noah! Get better.
