I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

I'm with tommyrot, that does not sound delicious and appealing in the naming. Also, I love books and can appreciate the smell of old books, but I don't want to smell like one!

I don't want to go to work today, I'll have to do things that are annoying. Can't I just stay in the hotel and magically someone else will do my work?

Clouds pretty.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Clouds pretty.

Holy shit.

They are very pretty--I love scary clouds like that.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Happy belated birthday, sarameg!

Happy birthday, Sox!!

Sad I missed the rugby talk - I played rugby for 4 years in college.

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

Clouds pretty.

Wow, those are positively Blakean.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So, I don't have Dish, but apparently they dropped a bunch of channels in the last few days? Kurt Sutter (of SoA) is losing his everloving shit over it - as are a bunch of other people on twitter.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They're in a fight with Viacom, maybe? My friend with three little kids is also losing her shit.

Because books.

Clouds pretty.

#14 looks like a painting. I think 12 might be favorite, though.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Those clouds are gorgeous.

Which reminds me that I need to check with Emmett about a couple of pictures he took when we were in Reno the other weekend -- on Saturday evening we walked out of the parking garage to an utterly bizarre combination of evening high-altitude desert light, funky casino architecture, and thickly piled cloud formations that made you absolutely, utterly swear that the sky was a gorgeously painted backdrop. If you turned and looked the other way, it was obviously real sky; you turned back to the casino roof sculpture and the clouds behind it, and your brain insisted, "Backdrop. Beautiful, unearthly, completely unnatural backdrop." Emmett took a couple of pictures with his ipad camera; I dearly hope they captured the total unreality of those real clouds.

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

Stupid browser ate my post. And auto correct tried to imply cunnilingus on behalf of Opera.

Anyway, where was I? Right. My sister's rebuttal was posted in the paper. The comments so far seem to be more than typically stupid, but I'm out of the habit parsing comments since Gawker got its new software. Even more ludicrous is this: [link] -- what does that even mean? Whose point of view is that? Homophobes who don't wasn't to be seem as the bad guys anymore? I had no idea the facts were even up for debate.
