I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

My strongly worded email of this morning seems to have had an effect.

Now I can get back to entering Supernatural characters into the database with a clear conscience. Next up, Meg Masters.

For people who use an FM transmitter for their mp3 player, here's a Web site that tells you which frequencies are open and will be the most un-static-y: [link]

Obviously people in high-population-density cities are screwed, but I actually get really clear reception on mine.

Because books.

The chaos in Egypt is incredible.

Next up, Meg Masters.

Check out these fingernails: [link]

Cool concept, but so-so execution as nail art. Now I'm wanting to try it on a nail wheel, of course.

To do it right, she needs longer nails (much as I dislike them in general) or to change the proportions of the piece slightly.

You know, my week has been one long task of doom.

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

Really fascinating piece. Oh so cyberpunk. He fucked with Anonymous, so they took down his security firm. And they wiped his iPad.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

What do I want for lunch? The only thing I think I don't want is sushi since the choice downtown isn't that great.

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

What do I want for lunch?

Is it cold there? Lamb curry.

What's everybody doing for their Onerous Task today?

I'm making my fourth follow-up call on my car towing protest.

Not following George Clooney around and barking like a dog, that's what.

I *am* going in to work despite this cold, because there's some galleys that need to be sent out to the authors but I need to approve them first. But that's all I'm going in to do. Then I'm taking some work home and stopping at TJs.

Wow, this is a serious bitchslap.
