Not sure what I'm going to do today. It's gotten to the point that I don't like to make any serious plans. They tend to get screwed up these days.
Think I'll just try to bum around the house.
Charlie Monster wants to see Captain America, he said so. He went," a gooba ba do wop."
Mona likes White Castle better.But not that Mona guy. He's creepy. And I heard from Sebastian that's not Mona's real hair.I think you and Sebastian just need to be okay with the fact that Mona likes me better. People have favorites, it's just human nature.
But he like Lion's Tap more..

Yea, the little ones usually screw up the plans.

Actually, it's been the boobs he's sometimes attached to that has been screwing up most of my plans.

That's what I said, but a certain someone refuses to bring him to the theater.

I know the feeling, I've got an 8, 6, and a 3 year old.
If it makes you feel any better, well.....it doesn't get better per se, or maybe it does, or maybe you come to terms with it. It gets different; also, later on, the little baby will start doing interesting stuff, or at least more interesting than eating, s$$~ting, sleeping and squawking. At this point, enjoy the autonomy that is granted by the fact that he's too small to walk or even crawl about causing havoc and mayhem.It's just not A big change, it's THE big change; the movies will inevitably be out on pay-per-view,......
I like to keep a plan on the backburner, and when you see your opening it'll be there, and you go for it....
Did we ever get a discussion thread on the NPR book list?

Did we ever get a discussion thread on the NPR book list?Is that a good idea? Wouldn't it just turn into another troll thread once the usual suspects noticed it?
You could do it in the Book subforum. Even the trolls usually keep their trolling down there.
That's what I was thinking.

This is why you should put things each in their own special place.

I guess special means different things to different folks in different contexts. My ass is special in the Don't Put Stuff There sort of way.

Hey now, don't you be dissing Watership Down, it ain't easy crafting a Homeric adventure out of rabbits.
But yeah, Animal Farm as science fiction? Is Aesop sci-fi too? What's up with that?
Makes wil save to resist injecting an "Epic Pooh" grarr bolus into the conversation......

I only have vague recollections of the cartoon from my childhood, but I had a similar reaction to WD, i.e., what's it doing here? But, like I said, I haven't read it, so maybe there's something I don't know.

Ah, a possible shoe-in for hackiest piece of criticism, ever. Moorcock should bury that turd to save himself from ongoing embarrassment. Right down there with "Oo, Those Awful Orcs."

Hee hee!
You don't see Edmund Wilson allusions here very often.
Anyway, I don't mean to troll, but as I've said before I love "Epic Pooh". I disagree with all of its conclusions and I'm a big Tolkien lover, but it's an interesting essay. Also, so much literary "criticism" of fantasy is just uncritical fluff, something with some critical discernment in it, even discernment I disagree with, is highly appreciated.

I got the feeling that Moorcock was pissed off about hemorrhoids or something when he wrote it (heh heh); but.......yeah I liked it. If only due to its ability to foment grarr.
I think it's a good grarr though.

Most of the sci fi/fantasy literature is just a rung or two above "pop art" or "penny dreadful" status anyway; doubt many of these will show up on high school English reading lists in 100 years, so my other distinct feeling is that most of it deserves critical explication a little more than an episode of Gilligan's Island. If anything, I felt that Moorcock had a lot of nerve tallywhacking Tolkien for writing singsong books about rabbits for rabbits, since, with Elric, he was just writing teenage angst novels peppered with liberal doses of Zoroastrian mysticism, Norse mythology, and Babylonian Astrology.
At least Harry Potter doesn't put on airs.
So, who is THIS aimed at?

Maybe. But Shakespeare was popular in his day, and I bet a lot of educated tastes said (or would have said) the same thing about him in his day. On the other hand, I don't think Tolkien puts on airs at all. There are just people that really don't like traditionally minded Westerners who are language scholars. Like I really don't like Marxists/Lacanians/Sausurreans.
And Van Gogh hardly sold a painting either.
There is some "pop art" that will stand the test of time, but not a whole hell of a lot of it will, nore does it deserve to.
Not Tolkien necessarily, but I felt Moorcock was putting on airs there explicating Tolkien et al when he himself had written a saga about an albino with a b#$%%in sword that amounts to the literary equivalent of a death metal concept album.
Like I really don't like Marxists/Lacanians/Sausurreans.
This should make you happy, then.

One does not simply Sausurre into Mordor.
Lifetime Network? Again?Oh, then it was definitely taig.
Taig's more of an Oxygen badger.
TAIGGGGGGG!!!!!!He ate all your popcorn too.Lifetime Network? Again?Oh, then it was definitely taig.Damn that Badger!!!
shakes fist
Taig doesn't eat popcorn. It makes him gassy.
My buddy (former chair) just got back from NC, where he has a 2nd home somewhere near Ashville and he was showing off his summer pictures. Man, it's beautiful there.Off to NC. Have a great weekend, everyone. I might make it back to the boards tomorrow or Sunday.
Taig doesn't go to Ashville. It gives him hives.

And...I thought I couldn't love you more...<sniff>
PbPers, Heathy's new setting is going to KICK ASS. That is all.

Thanx;.....not sure if the fertilized egg is going to even attach to the uterine wall at the moment on this one, but let's just say that the creation of a "gunslinger" class gave me ample food for thought.....

I watched the whole thing waiting for Sausurre to go SPLAT. Very disappointed.

"This one's for Holland/Dozier/Holland" was probably the funniest rhyme of 1999.
For some reason, having prospective employers contact my former employers scares me. I really don't think any of my old bosses would throw me under the bus, but it's always in the back of your head, you know? Like... "What if he brings up that time I..." When, of course, no supervisor providing a recommendation would ever do that.I know that feeling all too well. good luck.
I've never enjoyed the idea that a former employer could grind an axe regarding an employee. Still, Jess Door has the right of it.
