Oh man, I'd forgotten about the fruit stand guys...they used to be in front of my old place in DC, before it got all gentrified. Nom. Miss that.
Simon: The decision saved your life. Zoe: Won't happen again, sir. Mal: Good. And thanks. I'm grateful. Zoe: It was my pleasure, sir.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Happy birthday, Steph!
There use to be a truck that sold fruit next to the first place I lived in Greensboro, NC. I had what might have been the platonic ideal of a peach from there once.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can only imagine this whole article is a prank, but it is one of the all-too-rare ones where the comments are the best part: [link]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Happy Birthday, Tep!
In your honor, I took the family out to Rockaway Beach today.
Ok, it was mostly a coincidence, but still, we had so much fun and ate flautas and coconut ice and holy god I'm exhausted. Fortunately Aeryn is now napping and Dylan is more than happy to spend the rest of the afternoon playing Lego Star Wars so I can veg on the couch.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Why do only 12 episodes of a 13-episode season fit on a DVD when you burn it? It's so unfair. It's like hot dogs coming in packs of 8 and buns coming in packs of 6.

Look at it like a dealer: the first one's free, but you have to sign something over if you want to borrow episodes 2-13.

Trust my rage
So I mentioned this on FB, twitter, and DW/LJ, but there is a huge forest fire in the mountain suburbs here, maybe 15-20 miles from my house. But because it's a mountain, I can see the flames. I should just walk away because I'm not in any danger and wouldn't be for at least several hours, but it's freaking me out.

This isn't so much a comic question, not even a geek question--who's the second most iconic female superhero comic book character? Third? I just read an article that didn't even raise the shadow of Storm, even to throw her away. But I have no perspective on that, obviously.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Except she's not even a superhero, more of a villain/anti-hero most of the time. And yet, I can't think of any other contenders off the top of my head. I suppose Supergirl and Batgirl aren't really as iconic.
