Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

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

I'm at the Barnes and Noble, to see a talk with Bryan Lee O'Malley and Neil Gaiman! So far, just one girl dressed as Ramona Flowers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Woo hoo, bon bon!

I enjoy the raw beef of several cultures. I wish I knew where to get that Korean raw beef up here. Raw beef, raw egg yolk, pears, and sesame oil. YUM.

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

I want blue beef.

I don't want to be on call at 9:30 Sunday morning.

Congratulations, bon! What neighbourhood will you be working in?

"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 find myself in the horribly unfortunate position of agreeing with the evil jackasses who protest at military funerals. I don't think they should, I think what they're saying is ridiculous and hurtful...but saying they can't? Worries me. What if I want to protest at a president's funeral? A celebrity? My deadbeat dad who left me out of the will after not paying child support? Where does the line get drawn?

I think they do have a First Amendment right to say whatever they want. However, I also think their choice to say it at a funeral in a manner that deliberately adds to the suffering of already grief-stricken relatives should open them up to lawsuits for infliction of emotional distress that will rightfully strip them of every ill-gotten dollar they've ever made through their hate speech. Hopefully being reduced to subsistence level farming and/or begging for food will give them something to do with their time other than harass innocent and vulnerable people.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Woo, bon! (and not "gummint" Vortex?)

And also Woo Gaiman, Scola!

I used to make homemade eggnog with raw eggs every Christmas. Till everybody got horridly sick one year, including the cats. I still make homemade eggnog, I just use Egg Beaters. H used to make steak tartare, but we couldn't find high enough qualiy beef for a long time, and then we sort of forgot about it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I might try making eggnog this year, if it's possible to make it in small quantities.

Keep us updated if it's convenient, Scola, that sounds like fun!

What do I have to do to get Captain Jack (either one, or the Colonel) to visit me? I will write whatever letter I have to.

banana bread:

It is, absolutely. I used to make it for one.

Hmm. I wonder if my sister has booked our Christmas getaway yet...
