Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

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.

Ignorance of the dress code?

There was a day or mourning for Reagan complete with government closure. Only good thing that man ever did for me.
