"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

So Terrence Howard is apologizing to ex-girlfriends on account of having daughters causing him see women in a different light. [link]

Maybe his fixation on baby wipes makes more sense now?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Camels terrorize Australian outback town

Yep, it's true. More like giant rabbits than giant cane toads. Our local ecosystems continue to be devastated by introduced species. However, be warned, rest of the world: in 'pay it forward' fashion, we have exported redback spiders to Japan and they're marching on Tokyo. [link]

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I don't know, Terrence. This?

I didn't know how precious they were. I know better now.

Not really helping.

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

Terrence is still an ass. He should be apologising devoutly for needing to have daughters to respect women.

It's been a million years since I read Anne Rice. Did she have her vampires angstily romancing humans? Or was Angel the proper proto-Edward Cullen?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I am so full again.

I don't feel like Rice vampires are all that into humans, though. But it's been so long, I could easily be wrong.

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

IIRC, most of the humans being mooned over by vamps were vamped pretty quickly in the Riceverse. The only exceptions I can think of were Daniel and the guy in Tale of the Body Thief (David something?), both of whom were also eventually vamped.

Yeah, but not because he was in love with some human chick and his vampire nature made their love FORBIDDEN and IMPOSSIBLE. That kind of angst didn't really exist in those books.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have MOMAd and bought many things, mostly for me. My MOMA membership expires in Dec and I never used my bonus 20% off card, which you only get to use once in each store, so I bought things in all of the various store options. Some even Christmas gifts, which makes me feel good about spending the money. Then I took some nighttime NY pictures and got weepy, and now I am home in flannel pjs, fuzzy socks and slippers and I am going to have chips and guac for dinner and try to get my head wrapped around the fact that it is Friday, not Monday.
