Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I put in The Eight by Katharine Neville, Cryptonomicon, and The Mists of Avalon, and got a list of Christian books for all of them.

OK, physical plant is fucking brilliant. They decided to close down portions of the parking garage to the tune of 40-60 spaces to replace the sprinkler system. In December. No guarantees of parking spaces at the next nearest garage, a 5-10 minute walk away. In December.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hey Gamer People!

What's a good D&D related gift for about $40?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

H. Crap, that Chicago Trib recognizes Pscyh twice and calls back to Donald Faison's "Poison" dance-- best 2006 recap so far!
