Reading Update
Jack of Kinrowan by Charles de Lint. The two books contained in this omnibus edition are about Jacky and Kate, two ordinary Ottawa women who get drawn into the machinations of Faerie. Definitely not my favorites by de Lint.
“…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…” -Mayhem
Wohoo, cats in the metro!

I would love to have the Yellow Submarine!
A recent post from margene..Prisma Color Wednesday
I wonder how many people will get the R2D2 coffee press for Christmas? 😀
ouchie error by the author of the banned books piece. “Tied to the assassination of John Lennon, who was ‘caught’ with a copy [of Catcher in the Rye]”
Subject misplacement: The book was tied to the assassin – Chapman. The structure implies Lennon had the book.
Thank you for your patience while I grammar nerd out.
That Yarn movie looks pretty wild.
Thanks for another amusing look at life on the interwebs. I need the r2d2 coffee pot, but the husband said “no” :(.
The green magpies don’t even look like real birds, they are so cool.
I haven’t read deLint in awhile, maybe I’ll re-read some of that.
Darn I knew I’d missed something when I went to London for the weekend! I had intended to go and see those ads in the Tube station.
Yay, jellyfish cam! Sometimes those kinds of things are just the meditation I need after (or during) a crazy day at work.
I’ve read “Every Heart A Doorway”, and I love how the character’s sexuality is a part of the story and yet not portrayed as something weird. McGuire did a really good job on that story.
Ugh. The caption on that XKCD. Ugh.
