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....

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

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.

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.
Red and Jonny call themselves Star Wars geeks. They started taking self-portraits wearing Storm Trooper helmets on their honeymoon, and continue to do so. See them in both everyday and outlandish situations in a years-long series of photographs.

I feel like a still need a guide to tumblr. I don't understand what to put in the subject to make it a link, how to put a picture in, etc. There don't seem to be directions on the site and because it is moderated I can't use trial and error to figure it out.
tommy (and Jesse), I added that link to the tumblr.
Cool!
