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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I think you need to go drive to a coffeeshop. Exploding Allyson wouldn't be a good thing for Kristen to come home to.

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.

Morons.

Heh. I put in that one as well. I meant to try The Secret History.

Some fun links--a great list of sites for holiday gifts and a fun breakdown of the best of 2006 in TV (not best shows, but other categories) (Chicago Trib registration required).

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!

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

Any D&D rule/supplement book, as that's about how much one of those books will cost.

Which book? Well that all depends on which books the giftee in question doesn't already have. Just going by my own wants, and the wants of others, it tends to be very individual and specific, meaning it's probably not possible to surprise them as to really find out what D&D gift would be best for them, you'll want to just flat out ask them. It's otherwise just too likely that you'll either duplicate a book they already have, or get them something they weren't really interested in (though getting a book they weren't planning on buying, they'd probably like and keep it anyway, since they got it free, but one or two of the books are pretty lame).
