Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And now I find out from Facebook that my mother is at the hospital with my grandfather.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jones Soda introduces limited edition "Tofurkey & Gravy" vegetarian flavor.

(1) Ew. (2) I had no idea their regular turkey flavor soda wasn't vegetarian. EW.

I'm sorry, Dana. I hope it's nothing serious.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I just had a Tropical Punch Crush in a glass bottle. Holy nom nom nom, Lolcatz!

Yes, it would be nice to know, rather than finding out from FACEBOOK and having to wonder.

I'm being irrationally angry, I know. And yet, knowing that doesn't stop my being angry.

I may have to seize the cat.

I missed the grammar smackdown! Cry!

Here, how's this: splitting infinitives is only a problem in English because a bunch of English dudes who were studying Latin thought English should be more like Latin. In Latin, an infinitive is all one word, thus it is impossible to split it without just making up some nonsense words...

So, as a Latin scholar aware of this, I feel free to indiscriminately split infinitives non-stop.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know that's irrationally angry, Dana. I mean, unless you are really freaking out and breaking things and/or hurting people....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I had no idea their regular turkey flavor soda wasn't vegetarian. EW.

I had no idea they had a turkey flavour drink. EW.

That is a horrible way to find out. I hope you can get some information more personally soon.

My sister and I found out via a Facebook friend request that a cousin was undergoing a FTM transition--my mother knew and hadn't said anything because it hadn't come up in conversation. Thanks, mother. I found it perfectly simple news to blurt out to my father over dinner. Pork chops, if memory serves.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I'm sorry, Dana, that sucks.

But you should have paypal shortly! I know it's a small thing, but I really love the Bible. It's got more study than Bible in some places! And it's better than the notes in my last Bible, which didn't believe in the Bible. While I appreciated its academia and snarky social commentary, I feel that possibly my Bible should believe in the Bible. Anyway, it's great. Only problem is that I spent a good bit of the sermon Sunday rabbit-trailing on the awesome cross references.

And Perkins! You should also have paypal coming. Hopefully it will work this time. Thanks so much for the clothes, especially the dress which is gorgeous!

It's awesome that you love the Bible, Liese. I'm glad it found a good home, and I don't have to worry about being smited for giving a Bible to Goodwill.
