Awesome. I've never played Deadlands but the sourcebook was fascinating! Weird Westerns are very popular right now.

Writing a novel. I've already written 4 this year, so this is 5.

I've crocheted two afghans: one for a baby (pink), one for a wedding (blue and white), and am into the third (leftovers from Jayne hats and Dr Who scarf). I'm knitting a fairly complicated shawl.

I did a re-read, coming back to them as an adult, an author, an editor and a very picky reader. I don't love them as uncritically as I did when I was 10, but I still love them. They world-building is good, the plots are strong and the characters are interesting. Even Dejah Thoris has her moments, although most of the…

This is DISNEY! How did they fail so badly on marketing? I want a Woola Plushy and lego playsets, and official John Carter plastic armor and a licensed Deja Thoris Sword! Why didn't it have an awesome poster instead of just a banner with JCM on it? My art department does better book covers than that for books that 6…

I used to pack blue milk in my small Jedi's thermos. Basic milk, a dash of sugar, a dash of vanilla and a drop of blue coloring and he was the happiest kindergarten geek ever, with an Obi-Wan lunchbox, padawan braid and blue milk.

The problem with paganism, is that you really can't pick which gods will choose YOU. I expected Athena or Freja or someone from the Celtic pantheon... No. Not even close. Hermes. Hermes and Hera. And that is a difficult combination to walk a line between.

I'm a minor devotee of St. Begonia. And I love my daughter a lot. (it occurred to me that I made most of the things in the picture: both kids, the scarf, the rocker, the recliner and the bookshelf)

Gas prices in my city are varying by as much as 25cents a gallon. I have a general pricepoint in my head (what my local grocery is charging), and if I see cheaper gas when I am out and need some, I will fuel there instead. I don't go out of my way, it's more a "Hey, I'm at a quarter tank and they're 15 cents cheaper…

It took me from May to October, and I still haven't fringed it.

Let me tell you, that big old Dr Who scarf doesn't come cheap! 7 skeins of yarn means you're on the hook for about $20 and the needles are another 5. That's only if you don't have someone who knits for free. (I love my baby girl a LOT)

Lord of the Rings, about the time that one orc looms right up and falls in the lap of the front row.

I can think of several.

I would have put his "Ring of Fire" performance in there. Not only did he put a Middle-Eastern twist (horrors!) on a Country Standard and profane the sacred name of Johnny Cash, he did it wearing eyeliner and flogger on his belt (on the right, such a cute baby top!). He turned a song about being trapped by love into a…

We watched a lot of it. My youngest son looked like the Sun baby. We joked about "Children's Programming from the Village."

According to Jimmy Doohan, they use phasers. "Set to disintegrate and aim VERY carefully." (and SW fans took care of the bathroom shortage with freshers and sonic showers.)

Notable for multiple wastes of talent, including Freddie Jones, Francesca Annis and Lysette Anthony. Also notable for a very young Liam Neeson as a polygamist ("I've got a wife in this village!" was his schtick)

There are two "alternative" therapies that have any real effect:

A couple of sex toy companies do make pears. They're out of my price range. Speculums, which come in both vaginal and anal, have an actual diagnostic purpose. After all, tongue depressors could leave splinters.

I read it as an adult and got sidetracked because the population numbers didn't add up. I'd already read 1984, Brave New World, all of the Logan trilogy, and many many more. It was an interesting dystopia but not a well-thought out one, in my opinion.

I can point them to a dozen writers whose work would make awesome movies with lots and lots of CGI. But no. Let's go for a third Ben Hur movie, a 4th version of Carrie, endless Spiderman and Batman. We're overdue for a Dracula reboot.
