I have other things to do before I go to bed tonight, but I'm definitely saving that for later.

"And they play the trombone? Cool."

"So they're like monkeys, right? But with pointy ears and sharp teeth and paws?"

Yes, but I'm not good at it.

Books are my preferred media, too, but I've seen bits of enough things to maintain some cultural literacy, but I've never seen E.T. Don't plan to either.

That just happened here this morning! Septic tank. 😬

Oh MY.

Everything about this is fantastic. It would seem that carters are a species of animal (that says "ó ó ó"), and infants are born in oyster shells, or possibly that's an infant oyster.

A+++

I also make a killer uncooked applesauce: dice or shred unpeeled apples, then puree in blender with as much grated fresh ginger as you can stand, a teaspoon or so of powdered ginger, a good splash of lemon juice, a dash of salt, sweeten if necessary. A little cider or white wine doesn't hurt.

I like to roast or sauté sausages with apples and onions and maybe a bell pepper or two. Just the apples and onions sautéed together are also good. And I've made a variation of Thai green papaya salad using shredded or julienned apples.

I'm not really comfortable with the phrase "vintage weed killer". I'm guessing they don't age like fine wines.

This is the kind of quality content I like to see.

It REALLY annoys me in period novels when women wear hats to balls or the opera or other formal occasions. Please just do a little research, I'm begging you.

The Vicomte d'Asswipe was playing the long game.

Quote this with a book you read way too young that explains why you are the way you are.

The Forgotten Beasts of Eld by Patricia McKillip and everything by Anne McCaffrey that I could get my hands on.

That's what I suspected too, if it's not the Inferno.

"'Hoofprintssss!' I love 'Hoofprintsss!'"

Neat!

Goddammit.

Yes, I know your abiding hated for that one.

"Turn the Page" by Bob Seger. It isn't humanly possible for me to turn it off fast enough.

I make a version of Eggplant Parmesan with them that's actually really good. Slice them about ¼ to ½ an inch thick but don't cook them, just layer in a baking dish with tomato sauce, breadcrumbs, and cheese (your choice as to what kind of all of these), and bake for around half an hour at 180°.

As it happens, I reread "Exeunt Demon King" every Christmas Eve myself, and notice something new every time.

A New Video Game Allows You to Repatriate African Artifacts by Looting Western Museums Earlier this month, Nyamakop unveiled Relooted, a new video game where players stages heists to take back stolen artifacts from Western museums.

This is cool as hell.

Yes please, this is a very good idea. I've bought all the available individual e-book versions of the stories, and the audiobook collection, but I'd pony up for a new collection.

Poor Sven. His is a thankless job.

I was having an emotion, and I hate that.
