Because books.

So I made up FCM questions instead of writing this review, and now it's almost time for dinner. Oops.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I could never winnow down my favorite books to only one per time period, that's my problem!

As for the other FCM:
F wine
C cheese (wimper)
M chocolate

Because books.

Also, if I haven't heard back from the nice people at Amazon and tomorrow will be a week, can I politely nudge my contact there, just to see if the job is still open?

F Ender's Game (fave in college)

M All the Harry Potter books

C Swiss Family Robinson, which I reread every summer when I was a kid, but when I tried rereading it as an adult, I couldn't get past the racism and intolerance and how NOT kind Daddy Robinson was to his youngest son, and to the dogs.

Amy, I would. A week is fair.

Today's award for Biggest Buzzkill goes to the YMCA, which had a "Fit Tuesday" parade on Fountain Square today "to promote health and wellness for the whole family."

I'm all in favor of health and wellness and whatnot, but shut up and give me that paczki.

(I would post this on FB, but there's that one guy that likes to squawk about pre-diabetes and that other guy who thinks that eating a scone after working out literally undoes any benefit one might have derived by working out. A joyless lot, they are.)

Serious killjoys, and missing the entire point.

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

Timelies all!

Never had a paczki. I have a little bit of Polish ancestry, but Fat Tuesday ain't part of my heritage.

BTW, flea and Steph, my reaction to the Twitter pic flea posted on Facebook that I decided against posting there:

Damn, I sure wouldn't want to be the company that manages security at that...oh.
