I've said some strange things while blindfolding and restraining lovers pre (and sometimes post) congrex, however I must admit I've *never* said that. I have to try that one someday.

YES! Downloaded the "illuminated production" audiobook of Ellen Kushner's Privilege of the Sword. 15-½ hours of nasty nobles, snarky comments, and clumsy adolescents coming to terms with growing up, and, of course, a girl with a sword and a mad, debauched, but actually quite noble duke of an uncle. Yay!
(Having Simon "Arthur Dent" Jones play one of the older characters doesn't hurt either. And there's a cameo by Neil Gaiman. And the scenes not narrated by Kushner has Felicia Day do the voice of the book's main character. Yay again!)

What a day it's been, FAWTLfolk! If what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, I should be giving Superman a run for his money right about now...
Would anyone care to remind me of happy-making stuff out there in the world?

Someone giving you an unexpected compliment.
giving someone else an unexpected compliment and watching them smile.

And yes there is a Canadian Texas, we call it Alberta has cowboys, oil fields, cattle ranches, and ultra conservatives. However it is directly beside our California British Columbia which has your pot smoking hemp wearing hippies a burgeoning film industry, rich liberal snobs and even some redwood forests. So Canada isn't that much different than the states.

Canada is like.....the USA's crazy ex-girlfriend that won't stop stalking him. She knows everything about him........what he ate for breakfast,......where he went today,.....who his Prime Minister is,......and is livid he doesn't know how many states Canada even has. One morning, the U.S.A. will wake up with Canada sitting on his chest doing a creepy rendition of "You ought to know" by Alanis Morisette while cutting her hair off with garden shears.

Indeed, though my cranky old lady kitties don't seek out snuggles so much anymore, so my supply is limited. :P

I must say, I find it odd at the VERY least that you do not enjoy the hour that stretches.

I fear that I'm uneducated, and missed the reference. I might enjoy it, if I knew more about it. :)
edited to add: Though if you were referring to the Harlan Ellison short story that I get as a result when I search that phrase in Google, then no, I wouldn't enjoy it. Ellison is one of my least favorite authors ever, and a creepy, creepy man besides.

I fear I am the uneducated one here. I have never known it as a reference to anything other than orgasm(and perhaps the few seconds after it). I didn't know of this short story, I will have to check it out, although I will keep in mind that you give Ellison a very low grade.

Umm... oh.
Well then.
That goes without saying.

I freely admit that my dislike of Ellison's writing is colored by my distaste for his behavior-- I find it difficult to separate the one from the other. (I'm in a similar situation with Orson Scott Card these days, but that's more difficult because I really enjoyed the 'Ender' series once upon a time.) If you don't share that connection, you may well like it.

Pulled pork bbq aromas wafting through the house!
...you know, it really sucks to love cooking and be dieting. There is not enough exercise in the world...
Oh well, I will keep foisting off food on coworkers and gaming groups. :)

Is he a Scientologist? He sure does sue people a lot.

I fear I'm not up on these authors, much to my chagrin. What have they done that upset you so?

Ellison? Dunno about his religion. He's a creepy sexual harasser, though, and a thoroughly disgusting sexist crapwaffle.
Card's Mormon, and virulently anti-gay. I read a couple of his homophobic screeds that just turned me off the rest of writing.

With actors and authors and singers, I try to enjoy their art for what it is without letting my opinion of their opinion color it too much. Obviously you want to keep an eye out for attempts to manipulate you through the art, but in general I'm happier keeping the two as separate as possible. :D
I TRY to keep them separate, with varying degrees of success depending on the issues in question. :P

You know what's a great form of exercise? Walking to NY to bring me some of that wonderful pulled pork bbq. The best thing about it is you don't even have to walk to NY, you can just walk to Brooklyn!!

Grew up watching Captain Kirk as a kid.
Idolizing Captain Kirk.
Found out that he is an utter and complete jackass.
Nothing surprizes me any more.
Humph. William Shatner nearly killed me once. That's when I stopped being a fan.
(To be fair, it wasn't deliberate. He just couldn't control the horse he was riding and nearly ran over me. The fact that he didn't even apologize convinced me he was a jerk.)

I'll have you know I've MET Houston. He was pretty cool, but he seems to be more of a person than a location.

I swear that karma is out to get me. For what I don't know.
Our new staff asst (of 2 months) sent out a product list for a vendor to bid on. AND INCLUDED A PAGE OF PRICES FROM OUR EXISTING VENDORS!
Really thinking she won't make her 90 days. This, from a paralegal with contract experience. Gawd, I hate firing people. And yes, there are other minor 'problems'. This might be the straw. This sux.
