So far I have been to the coffee shop , shopped for some plants , did a little work in the garden, and washed some dishes. Going to work is going to interfere with my productivity

I know someone who lives at Marina City, and she just loves being in such an iconic building (its corncob buildings are #10 on that photo gallery). She's lived there for decades now, and one of her favorite things about the unit is the balcony.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
was keeping myself amused watching hulu but now the internet is down! Oh noes! I am posting from my phone.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I was thinking about the Wil Wheaton / John Scalzi contest over lunch. I'm thinking of calling my (possible) entry "The Secret Life of Walter Kitty."
Is "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" available online somewhere?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think there's value in saying "Hey, I'm sure you didn't mean to sound homophobic there, but slash doesn't mean porn" to give the authors a chance to correct themselves.
I don't know if that was what was happening elsewhere (which is a silly place for it to happen), but what happened on Scalzi's blog was someone throwing a snitfit and calling him a homophobe. Which? Doing too much work to get offended. And I don't think that thinking slash means porn has anything to do with homophobia. I totally fail at that. I think it means they're oversexualising a fanfiction definition, that's all.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
what happened on Scalzi's blog was someone throwing a snitfit and calling him a homophobe.
I didn't see it that way at all - I thought the whole conversation was pretty civil on all sides, compared to your average comment thread.
