Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh Matt, you need some taking care of yourself. Be good to you, too.

Allyson, that's...actually, not really surprising. But it is totally great. Cutie bat scientist guy! A blurb from the cute bat guy has got to be worth magnitudes more than a blurb from a dessicated old muttery bat guy, don't you think?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Similarly, a blurb from Batman would be worth more than a blurb from Robin.

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

a blurb from Batman would be worth more than a blurb from Robin.

All Batmans and all Robins?

Allyson, although I can't watch the clip from here, I'm going to take everyone's word for the excellence of the blurb source. I'm trusting like that.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

As someone who got an extra-special sneak preview peek at Sam all laid out and beautifully typeset with preliminary art and all last night, I am completely unsurprised. It's a book. A true, serious, sweet, real, beautiful book. Of course he wants to blurb it! What bat scientist in his or her right mind wouldn't?

Plus One Press does not discriminate on the basis of desiccation. We welcome enthusiastic blurbs from bat folks at every imaginable stage of sprightliness or decrepitude.

In general. But a blurb from Teen Titans Robin might be worth more than one from Adman West Batman....

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Tomorrow I am going to the emissions inspection station and hoping they've got power so I can get my car inspected. (Deadline is August 4th, which is when we leave for Raleigh) I should also pick up something to wrap Gary's anniversary gift in.

Sunday we have ticket to the Nationals' game. Alas, we will not get to see Strassburg pitch(he's on the disabled list), but it's still a game. Then, dinner somewhere.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

How's your mom doing, Matt?

Yay, Allyson!

I am growing ever more convinced of my theory that corn goes downhill really fast after picking it. Last week, I waited until Saturday to eat the corn from Friday's pickup, and it was just OK. I just had one from today, and it was AWESOME. Like two weeks ago's Friday night corn. Mmmm.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That is not so much a theory as a true fact, Jesse.

Eta: I'm experimenting with the notion that if you cook corn immediately it keeps better. Good results so far from roasting all the ears that came last last week.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

When I was a kid and we picked corn, we always cooked it all that same day. We froze most, and ate the rest.
