Miracleman, you will appreciate today's Wondermark. (As always, remember the alt-text.)
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Okay, now I'm sort of disgruntled about the "Harry Potter patronus white stag" thing. Has no one heard of King Arthur? Meeting the white stag, garlanded with gold, in the forest and it leading him toward his destiny as King of all Britain? Where do they think Rowling came up with the patronus, huh?
Connie, I was more familiar with the White Stag of the Huns and the Magyars.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Not connie, Cash, but thanks for the rec. Looks interesting.

Beverly, I read that edition of that book when I was in grade school. The illustrations are breath taking.
One of my favorite things about being a parent are looking for the books I loved as a child and buying them for my kids.

This is partly why I'm so amused by the thought of JK Rowling going after people for copying her work. So much of Harry Potter is based on prior works. (Yes, I know it's complicated, legal issues, blah, blah, blah, but seriously.)

The oral surgeon just canceled my appointment for tomorrow that I made two and a half months ago. Oh, well. It's not like I was excited about getting my wisdom teeth out.

Oooh, oooh, a bandwagon! I must jump on it!

Meanwhile, as I seem to have agreed to become the new Social Convener/Club Night organiser person for my Drama Group, I am plotting a Sing-a-long-a-sound-of-music, complete with fancy dress competition. Has anyone else been to a showing? I went to one six or seven years ago, and it was awesome, but I can't remember what all was in the little goodie bag. I'm thinking eidelweiss, scrap of curtaining, party popper, invitation to the Captain's Ball...what else? Or what else would be awesome to include in such a pack? Perhaps an Austrian flag? brown paper? artificial roses with artificial raindrops, perhaps?

DJ and Teppy, there will be a full report tomorrow.
How are you seeing Eddie Izzard? I thought the US tour didn't start until the 28th (which is the night I'm seeing him in Boston).

He's doing one night in Providence before his tour officially starts. No idea why.

Huh. While I'm not surprised he might do a night or two pre-tour to work out the material, I'm surprised he's doing it so far in advance of the tour kick-off. Oh well, your gain!
