And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Today's xkcd (I guess technically it's tomorrow's?) is awesome, even though I do not get half of it.

I had no idea there were so many different map projections.

Love the alt-text.

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

Oh my gosh, that xkcd was written for DH. Too perfect! I want to get a poster of it to give to him.

Welcome, clio! With the academical and the good taste in humans and the Avatar love you'll fit right in.

Good work, Tommy!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Her swain burned his hands batting out the polyster filling on the pillow

Swain is a fantastic word. I'm going to try to use it in conversation tomorrow.

Welcom, cliomusing!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

welcome, cliomusing! I give myself virtual pats on the back.

And it's Vonnie who's the legendary portmanteaux-hater, although I sit next to her on that issue (and Dana too).

Pix, that is totally awesome! The world, she is a small place.

My climbing partner tonight, to whom I had confessed my fanfic-writing a few weeks ago, announced that she had suddenly understood the need--she watched Phone Booth last night and was desperate for a story about the villain. I should probably poke about AO3 and see if I can spot anything for her...

The Shining is on cable.

Room 237? Don't go in there.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Aww, man. All the fun on the board happens on the nights that I go to bed early.

Hi, Monica!!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Woke up coughing and gasping for air again. I guess I need to go back to the doctor, but I honestly have no idea what they'd do at this point.

Yes, you do need to go back to the doctor. That sounds utterly miserable. What do they have you on now?
