Pshaw! (I'm still not sure how that's pronounced, btw.) If you want clumsy prose, go see H.P. Lovecraft and give him my regards....
That's insane troll logic!

Speaking of clumsy prose, I am reading Twilight for the student book club, and it is KILLING ME. Seriously, I have to read a chapter quick and then take a break because it is sooooo lame and boring and I hate the completely unrealistic people and first-person narration by boring teenage girls is like my least favorite thing ever.

I liked Tolkien well enough the first time I read The Hobbit and LotR, but after I took a college course on medieval Brit lit, I loved him.

I like the movies, but the books are very boring to me. I think it is actually the detailed world building which people like that makes me dislike them.

flea, you might like the Read it and Weep review of Twilight in a cathartic sort of way.
I haven't read Twilight, so I can't really say much about it, but snark is always good. I even like snarky reviews of stuff I like.

Cleolinda's always good, too.

Best part of the audiobooks, hearing the songs instead of reading them :).

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Love Rosie. Saw a few new ones there. Si Se Puede is my favorite of those takeoffs as well.
You have to be sports-crazy to be a Buffista? I wouldn't have guessed that.
I signed up on Alikewise about a month ago. Forgot all about it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
xkcd is a little aggressive today.

ION, my mom has decided that all the St. Augustine grass where I'm going to put the raised bed has to be lifted and used as sod elsewhere. We've been talking about this raised bed for more than a month and this is the first time she's mentioned that requirement. I cannot physically do it myself which means either my brother or my dad have to and it has to fit with their schedule. So instead of being able to start gardening this week, I have no idea when I'm going to be able to start. Get over one roadblock with her and another appears. *sigh*
Great weather today. I really like the windiness.
