Fossil no longer carries replacement watchbands for the style of watch I have (not surprising since I've had this watch almost ten years).
This means I have an excuse to buy a Pebble, right?
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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

Because books.
Huh.
I quoted the scene where he proposes to her in the rowboat on the lake as one of my favorite romantic scenes ever, for a YA blog doing a Valentine's Day feature. Everyone was appalled! I was surprised, to say the least, but apparently there's a huge contingent out there that thinks Jo should have accepted Laurie. Which is so very wrong, in my opinion.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Well, I always *wanted* Laurie and Jo, but rereading it on my kindle I wasn't disappointed by Laurie/Amy anymore. I would agree it would help if Bhaer had more of a personality.

I think, at age twelve, it was very hard to imagine Amy not being a Bratty Sister Who Gets Everything anymore in a way it isn't when you're 39.

I have read Alcott obsessively. My favorites are Little Women, Eight Cousins, Rose in Bloom and An Old-Fashioned Girl. I thought Laurie was all wrong for Jo, but the Jo-Laurie shippers are legion.

Yes!
I love when Amy sits on Laurie's lap and says his nose is a comfort to her.
And I thought Professor Bhaer was charming in that awkward, scholarly, foreign way. I think once Jo loved him, I loved him.

Little Women is my least favorite of those.

Yes. Yes it does.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Remember BigDog, the creepy-in-an-uncanny-valley-way four legged walking robot the US military is developing? Well, now they've given BigDog an arm and taught it to throw cinder blocks:
DARPA's robotic BigDog can now throw shit like it's nobody's business
