One more post because in my email was a recipe for Cauliflower Latkes! [link]
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

Is this what we always do when someone who used to be president dies, the Day of Mourning and lying in state? It seems weird to me, but I realize it doesn't come up that often so I wouldn't have gotten used to it, I guess, but it feels very ancien regime/divine right of kings

Enjoy the snow, Laura!
I would never have thought to put cheese in a latke, but cheese and cauliflower certainly go together. Hm.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
My recent "Fandom old" moment was listening to a podcast talking about fic. They did the Trek zines thing, then skipped straight to the Harry Potter and lj strike-through Era. And I was all "offa my damn lawn" and had to stop listening.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
This seems a bit more than I remember from the past - there has been the lying in state, funeral from the cathedral, flags lowered, etc., but I don't remember the National Day of Mourning with the government closing down.

Fandom old - I remember the first piece of fan fiction I came across - Dune fic ... in 1969.

I copyedit almost everything that goes out of my office and I recognize an unfortunate number of those. I think I'm especially annoyed by the misused apostrophes.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Just met Want and Ignorance in the hallway. Ignorance was wearing red fuzzy slippers.
