Pete heartily endorses me staying w/ Cass for a week
Go Pete! That's a very good husband you have.
Oh Jilli! Pass along to Pete that I adore the coffee vendor he recommended. So good! Brightest spot in my morning routine.
Inara: We thought we lost you. Mal: Well, I've been right here.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Go Pete! That's a very good husband you have.
He's awesome. And I promise to take very good care of Jilli here.
The bad bit in it is that I get less time with Pete. But I am invading his home to make up for it next weekend.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Re Scott Adams, I've been scornful of his opinions for many a year, since he announced that he sometimes makes predictions that have a way of coming true, and one of his predictions is that the theory of evolution will be overturned sometime in the 21st century.
This quote is of course plumbing far greater depths of what I would like to call the Gibson-Sheen Abyss.

Well, I managed to stay in bed until 7:30. But still up at 6. Loki playing dive bomber under the covers, MK poking me in the face and Devi sharpening her claws on the sheets didn't help...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just read Wil Wheaton's post about the Stand By Me reunion, and aw. [link]

Portland keeps saying it is setting up a 311 system but it still hasn't materialized.
Oh good, I was wondering, since we have that here too. (Good to understand that I was right about what it's for, not good that you don't have it yet.)
Hil or someone, what makes those lemon cakes Game of Thronesy? They do look delish.
Fay linked to that Scott Adams thing yesterday. Disgusting, and I don't see any sign that it's a joke. And now the evolution stuff? Where does this even come from? I would not have expected that.

I wonder if we have a 311 system here. I looked up the non-emergency number when I freaked over CJ being missing. They were extremely helpful and the police showed up to take the report within an hour. As much as it felt like an emergency to me, I didn't want to tie up the 911 operators over the issue.

We talked about River in the interview, of course, and I think Richard put it best when he said that there is this monster in Hollywood that everyone knows about. It lurks just out of view, and occasionally it reaches up and snatches someone … and it got River.
Very apt, and very sad.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Wheaton grewed up good, didn't he? That is so worth reading.
And speaking of people we'll miss, Diana Wynne Jones died after a long illness yesterday, which I have to say guts me about 1000% worse than Liz T.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's a really touching piece by Wil.
