Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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

I have a smidge of milk left, so I could either barely wet my cereal or make another cappucino.

Coffee wins!

So I scrambled an oeuf with diced ham and cheese and made a sandwich on wheat toast. Satisfying and filling.

Bookstores that make my literary panties wet:

Those all look amazing but the stairway in the Portugese bookstore was particularly stunning.

If I had bajillions I'd want to own a big rambly book/comics/media store.

Of course, first I'd buy Jilli her own Goblin Market with adjoining tea room and a wicked little croquet pitch in the back.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm having a health-food version of a buffalo chicken sandwich for lunch -- same breaded patty, same buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing, but the roll is whole wheat, and the sides are celery and carrots! Diet food.

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

Breaded patties aren't diet food.

Hmm. I seem to suspect I don't agree with anyone today. I wonder what's up with that...

Because books.

Dean Winchester likes pie.

Now you can agree with one thing.

But there are no fries on the side! And did I mention the roll is whole wheat??

I agree about the breaded pattie. I would expect a "health food" verson to be a broiled, skinless chicken breast with buffalo sauce and blue cheese made with yogurt.

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

So healthy, Jesse.

There's a new British TV series coming called The Hour which is being sold as a British Mad Men.

Stars Ben Wishaw and Dominice West (of The Wire).

I should have said "health food" -- I wasn't actually serious, what with the drenching in butter and covering in cheese.....

DavidS, did you see that the Beeb is doing a Jean Shrimpton Biopic?

WOot! I just had the second person in a week tell me that they didn't recognize me from behind! And the first one was the woman who sits kitty-corner from me and sees me every day.
