Gawd. Nothing like watching someone who knows what he/she is doing. Grace, confidence, competence — yeah, porn. Artisan porn.

I couldn't put Cryptonomicon down, my house was a mess for more than a week and the table was strewn with my notes from the mathematical and cryptography passages. I re-read it at least once a year because it dazzles me.

I'm generally unimpressed by science fiction, but a chance encounter with "Snow Crash" led to inhaling everything Neal Stephenson has ever written. Cryptonomicon is my absolute favorite; I have read it at least a dozen times. However, I have just added 7 more books to my must-read list. (My dad gave me Dune and the…

Doesn't look much like me but certainly has my attitude, yup.

Holy crap, this was OCR'd in, wasn't it? And then you ran spell-check on it. There are so many wrong words that it's truly distracting. Please, people, for the love of literature and out of respect for the original author, clean it up.

Such a freaking loss — header should have been, "Bright Lights, Cute Kitty."

It's not cool for volunteers to clinic supplies or XL condoms. But especially XL condoms.

The plane's "manifesto"? What were its demands?

Wow. Terrifying and beautiful.

Trust me, wait until one of them WANTS something and then answer calmly, in the quietest voice you possibly can. Continue to speak in the quietest voice you can. Refuse to go into another room or to speak more loudly. Do this consistently, at all times, but *especially* when you're doing something they like (getting…

Dog deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for not slapping that kitten clear into next week. I'm always amazed that the bigger the dog, the more tolerant he or she often is of crazy cat behavior — and how naturally the kittens seem to sense this.

OMG, right. I was a grown woman with grown children, but — I just stared. But then I stayed up until 4 AM beating the final boss who turned out to be a bad tempered casserole. Can't win 'em all ...

Please, world, forgive me, but I sat through the entire freaking Matrix thing, all three movies, with my husband and grown son beside me giving stereophonic glosses on how deep and awesome and amazing it was and the only thing I recall clearly is not an image or a sound, but the thought, "WTF is this crap?"

The character of Shadow from the SNES Final Fantasy that Square Soft called 3 on that platform. So deadly! So much angsty backstory! And a doggie! Who'd a thunk he was preparing me for Mr. Reese on Person of Interest, 20-some years later?

Not often I replay a commercial repeatedly. I believe the last one I repeated was about herding cats. This one, it's right up there. Live long and prosper.

This was the first smile-until-it-hurts moment of my day. Thank you so much for sharing it! Here's hoping that the WBC continue to plummet into irrelevance.

Made my afternoon. Thank you!

Nice way to put a smile on my face on a gloomy Saturday. Thank you for posting the link.

Yes. The writers'/producers' willingness to drop tiny breadcrumbs, only to pick them up and drop them into a plot casserole months later, delights me. Things change. I am always on alert.

Dead on with a lot of this stuff, but if I'm not mistaken, at the time that Reese demanded the video footage from Carter, Finch was out of the library, heading over to the Hope for Homeless Vets facility. He wasn't available to pull it up on demand for Reese.
