This house costs a bit more, but wow! [link]
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The addition of olives and replacing the onion powder with actual onions has improved the enchiladas wonderfully. A nice dish to have in my repertoire.

Excellent post number, Connie.

Note to self: prunes are delicious but maybe next time don't eat quite so many at a time. Oops.

Oh, beloved, you and your "but it could be useful/isn't it cool?" habits in thrift stores.
Man, I feel this.
We are going to go through the office tomorrow, which is beginning to look like a Hoarders episode. It's going to be a LOOOONG process.
The office here is something out of a Hoarders episode. The rest of the house is not (cluttered, yes, damn you, dining room table, but not Hoarders level at all), but the office is from hell. One time I posted a picture of the dining room table because I wanted to demonstrate how much shit was on it, and I wasn't embarrassed, because, well, dining room tables pile up. But I would be embarrassed to ever ever EVER post a picture of the office. Ugh.

The garbage can is full, but there's room in the recycling bin, so I'm going to dump some paper tomorrow.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Paging Hec! Would you be willing to answer a few questions about pitching to the 33 1/3 folks? M submitted a proposal to them last year, which wasn't accepted, and is now wondering how best to retool/rethink it for the next round. Any chance you'd have some advice to offer?
Sure! But it's gotten way more competitive than when I got in, and they've changed editors (and publishers). So I can only advise what worked for me. Not sure what the current team prefers.

In my favorite location, aurelia! I'm still looking for ways to move up there.

Remember when we were bemoaning the shortcomings of tumblr and the eerie quietness of lj? Well, someone seems to be trying to develop a new online fandom platform. It's already soared past its indigogo funding goal, and you can sign up for the free post-beta if you don't want to contribute. [link]
