Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

re: spoilers--if a book is going in a direction that I'm leery of, I'll check the end to see if it resolves in a way that doesn't make me want to throw it against a wall. I'm willing to read through badness if there's a payoff I can appreciate in the end.

This is pretty much me. If a story has a bleak ending that's going to leave me sad or angry, I don't want to read it. The Kite Runner is watermark now - I ask my friends if a book will be like that, and if they say yes, forget it. I hated that book.

I don't want to be spoiled for major plot points, but I don't even count casting news as spoilers.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

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

What would the Fug Girls say? I have to give props for the finger he's flipping to fashion in general. That's kind of a win.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We've often described the look on the faces of dressed-up cats as "I have to kill you now."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have no idea who that is, but mostly I think his hat is disproportionately small for him. Not like too small for his head but too small for his body.

Thanks, zuisa! I was second-guessing and talking on the phone.

That is Conan Khal Dex. AKA can wear whatever he damned well wants, and I forgive him for the Baywatch thing.

The world is small for his body.

Because books.

The world is small for his body.

Happy sigh.

I really need to watch ... Stargate or whatever that was he was on.

Punishingly Intricate

People are still changing jobs (leading to hiring), I swear!

My company is hiring! We work for feds though. And are on the other side of the country.

That Conan gentleman is wearing a leprechaun hat! Other than that, I don't think that's a bad traveling outfit, is it?
