Timelies all!
We had a bit of rain this morning, which I slept through. Today will be "only" in the mid-80s, and then we go back to sauna level temps. Ah, summer in DC.
Wesley: Hey. Hey, Gunn. Is something weird going on? … Charles, you just peed on my shoes. Gunn: I'll be damned. That's weird.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

'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"
My local neighborhood (davis_square) has a community Livejournal account that has a regularly used tag "What Was THAT?" that often gets answered promptly -- it's actually kind of handy. And the Somerville official spokesperson for city hall, the delightfully named Tom Champion (who has a voice to match) makes sure to post announcements of interest to the neighborhood.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My mother doesn't get all the fuss over Tom Champion, which makes me laugh.

Kat,
I am chuckling now because I am not sure your post endorses the book as "good." Or even not good but entertaining (e.g. Da Vinci Code). DVC really isn't good at all, but man I ran through that book like a house on fire.
I think I am less interested in reading it than I was before! Esp when you indicated that the ending might suck. Grr.

I've half-seriously suggested that the city get a Tom Champion-signal that they can project from a searchlight atop City Hall when there's trouble.

Love it! I find that most of the movies/books/etc I dislike fail at #14.

Off to see my folks this morning. Maybe I'll get a pedicure on the way home...

Gunfire or Fireworks? has been a common game around here this summer.
That's my neighborhood's motto. (It's usually gunfire. Sad but true.)

I am Steph, but subbing city for neighborhood.
I slept through the Running of the Bulls and Doggies and Donuts, and now it's storming on and off liek woah. I need to get myself going and hit the market (which is inside).
