I think I'm going to take a road trip to Johnstown tomorrow. I feel like I should explore more of Pennsylvania. There are a few museums, and a tram thing to the top of a mountain that's supposed to be cool.
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

David McCullough's book on the flood is excellent. It also makes you want to grab government regulation of things like damns and hug it and kiss it.
eta: dams, damn it.

I haven't read the book yet, but I'm probably going to. I'm sure they'll have it at the museum gift shop.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
So, Emmett is about to leave for 8 days on the East Coast, and he's been urged to spend some quality time with Matilda this evening. Hence, they've spent the last hour or so running around like maniacs, pouncing on each other (Matilda: Come on, little horsie! Emmett: What do you think, I'm made of horses?) and have now moved on to the wholesome activity of duct-taping Emmett's pajamas onto Matilda and making her prance around like the whitest hip-hop midget in history.
She just shuffled down the hallway, flapping her too-long sleeves and staggering in her too-long pants and cackling, "My evilness! My evilness!" as Emmett followed her, saying scornfully, "You don't have any evilness!"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

This comes from watching the Wicked Witch of the West get melted on YouTube, in case you were all wondering.

That's what he thinks.
David McCullough's Johnstown Flood book is where I first read one of my favorite quotes. A young Hearst reporter's dispatch from the flood began "God stood on a mountaintop here and looked at what his waters had wrought." William Randolph Hearst immediately cabled him, "Forget flood. Interview God."

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.
Hey Gris, congratulations on many fronts!
I agree with the sentiment, but must confess to having misread it at first as "congratulations on many fonts" which was confusing because I only saw the one in Gris' posts.
Once again, Emmett and Matilda are the epitome of awesome siblingness.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That's hilarious, JZ.

Video evidence of Matilda "keeping it real with my Meeps."

not your mom's socks.
wow. ok. I gave HKF's teacher for the past two years a gift card to Title 9, which is one of her favorite merchants. I filled out a gift card, and didn't see any extra charge for it, so I figured we were fine. I just got an email a week and a half after the purchase that I'd been charged $10 for the cheapo card they block-printed with my web form comment - Really T9? Yes, I deserve the smite for being lazy, but ... really?
