That's what's weirding me out, bon. Game of Thrones has a number of really fascinating fantasy religions, and can in some ways be construed as a commentary on religion, the church, and worldly power, but I would never have pegged it as explicitly anti-Christianity. Just thought provoking.

I put in Play It As It Lays, by Joan Didion and also got a billion Terry Pratchett books.

I hope NYC-istas aren't overly fond of fast food.

What is even happening?
I really am sorry. I get the Go Fug Yourself RSS feed and I clicked before I knew it was about Carrot Top, and then I looked, and... then I just didn't want to suffer alone.
It was the lower picture that did me in. I was prepared for general Carrot Top fug. I wasn't prepared for so much exposure.
I'd better go look at the frackles link.

Punishingly Intricate
. I put in George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones and the unsuggester produced a list comprised almost entirely of books on the Bible and Christian theology.
That's what I got when I put in Persuasion.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I put in Daniel Quinn's Ishmael and it told me to avoid books on knitting and/or by Tolkein.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I put in Catch-22 and got Vogue Knitting (which I own and enjoy).

Oh you're right Sumi. It might get down below 50 this week! brr!
Seriously though- how sick am I that I'm envious of Chicago buried under a blanket of snow? I miss the slog through the drifts to the el stop, the wiggling of toes inside three layers of socks to make sure they're still circulting blood in there. The tricky wind that can find the seams in four layers of clothing... course I also miss Halsted Street Market Days, sweating rivulets despite the skimpiest of sundresses and medicinal vodka lemonades. I guess I'm just a Chicagoan no matter how far away I live.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am ALL SET with the NYC government trying to force me to be healthier. I would love restaurants not to use transfats, but in general, I feel like that should be driven by consumer demand, not the freaking government.
