My mother doesn't get all the fuss over Tom Champion, which makes me laugh.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

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.)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

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).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I get a migraine google alert, and the past couple of days it's been all Excedrin, all the time. Apparently it's off the market, and Excedrin Extra Strength is going for $144 and Excedrin Migraine for $245. As opposed to $10.
Man, I wish it worked so well for me I'd be desperate to buy it. I still can't work out when IV compazine is going to come back on the market. It's been months since I've had an effective anti-emetic. It's horrible horrible horrible.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
weeded about half the yard. dad either came yesterday or before 10am and mowed, so any weeds that had seeded got mulch. gah. Still have about 25 gallons that I puled, so not bad for an hour and 15 min.
