I'm pretty anal about reading series' in order, even if they're episodic and don't need to be read in order. If the series isn't clearly numbered then I have to spend a lot of time at the chronically understaffed Barnes & Nobles' help desk waiting for a woefully overwhelmed staff member to figure out which book I need…

Redacted.

I would add Phedre (and friends) from Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel series.

omg, where are the hearts? I need to heart you, so bad.

C'mon cat lovers: the winner of the kitty throwdown will face Corgi or Dachsund in the final, and I don't think Tuxedo is in it to win it. Vote Hobbes!

I am waiting for someone to tell me that it's a joke. Or something.

The best teachers think this about their students. A pack of six year old kids cooped up in a room together is stressful for the teacher; it's not like parenting or babysitting, it's (mostly) controlled chaos. I don't blame the teacher for feeling like her students are future delinquents; she probably had a rough day.…

io9 covers science. Drug breakthrough=science. And, obviously, of interest to some of the people who read this blog.

Are there any other female leaders/leads in zombie/other apocalypse movies? A woman who doesn't get rescued by a dude? Aside from Alice? I'm coming up blank...

I actually really like Rory. He tempers the relationship between Amy and the Doctor. And from a story standpoint, he's probably the only thing keeping the Amy/Doctor relationship PG. And I like my Doctor unattached.

The boy is only 12. If he's expressing this level of hate at this early age, his parents (or whatever adults/role models he's imitating) must be very outspoken about their own hatred.

I really think they couldn't go wrong with a pair of jeans or black leather pants, a killer pair of dark red boots (flat) and a tight tank top/jacket combo. And the belt. If they're going modern day they really, really need to kill the bustier and tights.

"Spiders have been a plague on the earth ever since they marched their eight feet out of hell."

This is what I am hoping. She's too batshit to actually get elected but if she DOES win the Republican primary there absolutely no way in hell her own party will vote her into office.

Between Blink and Empty Child, Dr. Who has caused me many a restless night.

Torchwood: Miracle Day should be on Netflix Streaming, but thinking long term: the Netflix/Starz contract was for 4 years and it ends this year (not sure when this year). Renewing it is going to cost Netflix significantly more (estimates are putting it @ 10 times original cost) so they might not go ahead with it.

Our lunch ladies in high school were very free with the fries. I'm pretty sure we got refills or something. It was kinda ridiculous.

Ditto. I'm the one who buys, the boys smoke mine for free.

It's always been my experience, even as a teen, that girls and boys were expected to buy their own. The only thing people gave away or traded were french fries.
