That is DARLING. Please tell Owen that the Goth Cabal (which doesn't exist) is awarding him GothPoints.
I told him you got a sneak preview of Frankenweenie. He asked if you were a critic.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Hit By Pitch. If the batter gets hit (in some body part) by a pitch, he gets to go to first base. The literal first base.
I'll bet viewership would go up if it were the figurative first base.

There's a bad reality show idea in there somewhere. Baseball Bachelor. The contestants have to literally swing a bat at a ball, but instead of scoring runs they score.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Practice your search terms here, then.
I'm guessing "stuff I like" doesn't count, huh?
eta: Thanks for the other suggestions! I will have to pursue them tonight.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, god, I just loaded etsy. I blame you people.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Groovy castle, Cash!
Between Hogwarts and now my kids' coveting of Helms Deep, I think I'm going to have to hide the existence of Dracula's Castle from them. I think we are hitting the zone of Too Many Legos.

There's an amusing Stargate Atlantis story where one of the first things they tell newcomers is "Don't mess up the Lego Room." If you've got a mostly empty floating city, why not dedicate a room to Legos?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
My favourite political fact check of the day. Rated "Pants on Fire" by Politifact, this exchange regarding Indiana governor Mitch Daniels:
Daniels: "Nearly half of all persons under 30 did not go to work today."
Politifact: "Because many of them were in school."

A Lego room would rock my world, just so long as cleaning it and keeping the floors clear was Someone Else's job.

Ahahaha! The StuntHusband would raise an eyebrow at that and sneer "Of course she is".
But I did just send my review of Frankenweenie to a couple of my beta readers so I can post it tomorrow morning.
