It is a bit darker, but it also has some really funny stuff in it, and it's got real heart. By the time I was done I was at a loss because I didn't want to read anything else, I had so many questions and I wanted to find out what happened next. Hopefully he'll have the sequels out soon.

Sure! If you haven't checked out Shades of Grey, you should. If you're already a Thursday Next fan, you can get into it — it's pretty out there even for Fforde but it's REALLY good.

Also this:

The Losers. Pretty good movie — Idris Elba is in it too :)

I'm noticing a trend in my selections...

I need to read up on this.

I've read about this before, but I thought I remembered reading that some of these women were forced into brothels that serviced Americans too...anyone got better info on this?

I'm going to be Debbie Downer here, but reading this article gave me the sads, because I wish I could take my cousin to Disney World and know that he was enjoying it. He's a quadriplegic, no motor control, can't speak, and I know he's in there — I do know he loves sports and thinks my sister and I are pretty, and that…

Hey, fellow fibromyte! Good to know you!

Best. Description. Ever.

I submit this as the elevator scene I WILL accept.

I feel like this might be worth it purely for the whole "my mother is a fish" conversation. If he can pull that off, I may reconsider my assessment of him. I'm not holding my breath, though.

I wondered about that, too. "Street violence?" Really? Not even going to dignify it with "mass shooting?" It's just street violence because it's mostly black people who are, of course, all constantly engaged in street violence, so it's normal? WTF, people?

I don't think I've bought lipstick in 2 years or more. Lipstains, sure, because they last and don't melt if I leave them in the car. But I just hit up my sis, who used to work in department store makeup. Samples galore, I tell you. If I had to actually buy makeup I think I'd cry.

No problem! I'd suggest asking your therapist, when you get around to it, to check your pectoral muscles just below your collarbones and shoulder joints. If you're at a computer, it's pretty likely those muscles are pulling tight and forward, affecting your shoulders. Most therapists tend to forget to check there.

Aw, I've been thinking about getting a hedgehog, because they're so damn cute, so you can make me look at him anytime! I shall live vicariously through your squees.

Ha! Yeah, I bet. People get reallllllly detailed and in depth about their theories on this, and it basically boils down to that. We know Rhaegar and Lyanna were getting it on, we know any Targaryen children had to be hidden, or else they were killed after Aerys died, and we know that Jon is definitely a Stark, but…

The Last Enemy, Wallander and the Cranford / Return to Cranford come to mind. Also Call the Midwives and Bletchley Circle.

Right- Rhaegar was the mad king's son, Danerys' other brother. He took off with Lyanna stark, prompting Robert to go kill him at the battle of the trident.

Well, it's a thought to consider— when you have chronic neck tension, your neck muscles are shortening, and the fascia is going with them, and it begins to pull on the attachments. This will affect the way your skin lays.
