If you don't want to, though, I'll snag it and post it.

Can you post this one? I'll look at the tumblr stuff later. Thanks....

You know, I was looking forward to kripkat becoming more active once he got over the recent upheavals in his life. I WAS NOT expecting him to race into the bathroom and jump atop the shower stall. That's a new one.

Did they think they were sending as a telegram, Tep? That sounds just infuriating.

I would have at least been entertained if every line ended with "STOP".

Seriously, who the hell, in 2010, puts a hard return at the end of every line in a fricking word processing program?!?

When anything in books can become real, you should watch what you read

We've seen stories about worlds where anything from a book can become real, but Jim Hines has a clever twist. In his new series, the popularity of paranormal and urban fantasy novels leads to a plague of book-spawned monsters.

Hines just sold Libriomancer, the first book in his Magic ex Libris series, to Daw Books, for publication in 2012.

Libriomancer is an awesome title....

Man dresses depressed Holocaust-survivor grandma as superhero, cheers her up

That is SO AWESOME.

I have finally committed Etsy. Not ready to set up my own store. Yet. But maybe in 2011. Eeeep.

For me anyway, not leaving the house is a really easy pattern to get into, and it is Trouble.

Jesse is me. Or worse, having only one or two places you go out to regularly, so you can tell yourself you're not being a hermit.

Dude. Cash, those roller derby pictures you linked to? Those were taken by one of my coworkers.

From Sullivan (who is famous for his constant attacks of Palin) The Unstoppable Bristol Palin, Ctd

A reader writes:

ABC may have shot itself in the foot with the casting of Bristol.

Judging by online posts and comments, there is a real outcry from longtime fans of the series at the apparant hijacking of the process by the Palin cult. Take into account that many of the Palin voters are either not watching (as admitted in several of those message boards cited on Jezebel and others that I've seen firsthand) or watching only for Palin, and chances are you're likely going to be losing those viewers in subsequent seasons no matter what. I seriously get the impression that a Bristol win might irrevocably damage the show's standing amongst the core audience who simply want to see the best dancer win.

Another writes:

The ABC message boards are hopping with people threatening to never watch the show again. They say that people are on to the Palins, and feel that ABC/DTWS producers have also helped rig things for ratings. In fact, there are some postings about how this is supposed to be "Dancing with the Stars" - and when was Bristol ever a star?

Another:

The message boards of some of these conservative pro-Palin sites have been scrubbed - just since last night. Moderators of these sites are now put in the embarrassing position of trying to hide the evidence of the inflated voting due to a technical snafu on ABC's website. Previously the messages on that board encouraged and bragged about taking advantage of that weakness in the system.
