Oh, you mean the camo and stuff. I thought about it, but on me it’s gonna look all Private Benjamin. Don’t worry, I’ve patrolled in this halter many times.!–more–

Tonight, my lovelies, we dance the Charleston. Last week, I was listening to the Fresh Air review of The Great Gatsby, and at the tail end, I heard the most amazing thing. !–more–

We’ve been on a wild, dark ride as we’ve followed the straggling, remaining members of Team Torchwood try, in vain, to prevent the demands of the 456. Today, we’re wrapping up Children of Earth, and the ride is […]

I appreciate any mention of my main girl, Polly Jean, though I miss her angrier days.

I never really had an opinion on Feist until I saw her on Sesame Street, where I suddenly found her charming and […]

You know what gets me? This is what gets me. Twenty years I’ve been fighting demons. Maggie Walsh and her nancy ninja boys come in; six months later, demons are pissing themselves with fear. They never even […]

If I were to poll all your closest friends, co-workers, and relatives, what word or phrase would they say you say the most?

Mine is probably “motherfucker,” if we’re being honest.

I’ve sadly never heard the DVD commentary. I saw a copy of the boxed set at Best Buy or some such last holiday season for $75, and I almost scooped it, but it came out on Netflix a very short time after. (Related? […]

I picked “hungry” because we don’t have “curled up under the desk in mourning for a fictional character” on the Mood Thingy.

[E] Slay Belle commented on the post, We Try It: Refinancing a House 1 week, 2 days ago

I was lucky not to have an FHA mortgage, but the refinancing process was almost as long as yours was– 4 months from start to finish. Granted, now I’m saving 400 bucks a month — at least until the next property […]

Tanith Lee is vastly underappreciated and I’m glad to find someone else who thinks so.

Happy Thursdays, Persephoneers. Another work week is almost down and I can hear the faint cries of your rejoicing traveling over the intertubes.!–more–

I don’t think there’s a single fruit I don’t like, except maybe honeydew, which should be cantaloupe. In summer, I love berries, plums, cherries, watermelon, peaches, and kiwi. I love making a ginormous vat of […]

I remember her from Once and Again, with the luminous Sela Ward and that Bland Guy with Dark Hair. I had really high hopes for her career, I’m glad to hear she’s on True Blood.

It was actually in this very episode, but I’m a doof and missed it the first time I watched. She has two older brothers.

I’m the same way, which is why I stopped ‘capping it. Writing about it was making me love it less, and I CAN NOT HAVE THAT.
