Barb, forgot to reiterate that I adore that cover and can't wait for the book to come out.
I still want to get FLYUFLZ for my car.
Ahahaha awesome.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

Nora, is there any way you can arrange for your townhouse to be moved to the Chicago 'burbs? Because I want to live there!!! What a gorgeous place (I'm lusting after those hardwood floors).
You know there's a really fine condo for sale in Chicago, right?

All the Chicago cool condos/townhouses are in the city. I want a nice one in the 'burbs because that's where I'm working. Of course, I won't be able to afford to buy anything for at least a decade, so I'm just talking outta my ass here.
I got the idea for FLYUFLZ when I was driving behind a Jeep with ARAGORN on the plate and a plate-holder that said "There And Back Again."

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

Over at Submitterator, TinChicken shares this family photo from the December 91/Jan 92 issue of Threads, a magazine "for people who love to sew." Ah, where to begin...
Some of the comments are funny:

That is super creepy and I can only hope some horror director right clicked it for future use.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
YIKES.

Why does the kid on the left look like s/he's wearing a KLAN HOOD?!?!?!?

That was the first of many questions that came to mind....

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Well now that's just silly. The Klan is primarily in the South, I don't think they have a need for winter hoods, right?

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

No shit. That is creepy in so many different ways.
Oh, thank dog I went through some strange alumna e-mail obsession back in the early days of Facebook, otherwise I wouldn't have login credentials for the McGill student website. I found a letter generator that says I have a degree. Which is good, because my anxiety levels were going off the roof that I'd managed to not graduate properly (I finished in 3.5 years instead of 3 because I had to retake a required course and I decided not to do 6 classes in a semester because I was lazy and it was cheap). I also looked at my unofficial transcript. Man, I sucked at electives. I only had good grades in comp sci courses and art/theatre. I should never have taken languages. Totally ruined my GPA.

Much to my dismay, NO could get as cold as freezing sometimes. I was very hurt.
