The fact that one of the protagonists is pretty unlikable for a large chunk of the story may also make marketers leery. That and the ending. I would still love to see a faithful adaptation, though.

No wonder Kate's hair is amazing.

Either Kinja glitched or the big tough Internet guy dismissed my comment.

Chickens, goats, and a garden are probably the extent that most families can handle. I might also recommend rabbits and quail on the livestock side, and planting some fruit/nut trees or berry bushes around your yard. :) You'd be amazed what an hour or two of work every day can yield, whereas anything more becomes a…

I think you misunderstood my comment.

I sometimes publish short books related to small-scale agriculture, and I always include a warning in the introduction: Drop your idealism. For every happy moment spent hauling bountiful vegetables inside, there's another moment where you're freezing your ass off chopping wood or cutting some animal's neck before…

You're getting piled on here and are not making it much better for yourself, but in principle I tend to agree with you. To me, fashion is art and a means of staying employed. Otherwise, I don't have time or money to spend on a bi-annual wardrobe change, and I will never understand the obsession with wedging your foot…

Your mom is how I imagine religious people in a perfect world. Thanks for sharing her wisdom!

Goodness me, dear, only sluts are so explicit.

I was assisted by my painfully awkward teenage years and then entering a long-term relationship right at 18.

God, I miss Tennant's era so much. And Donna. It is criminal what they did to her. And even though Martha spent most of her season mooning after the Doctor, she is probably my second favorite New Who companion after Donna. As soon as she realized he was never going to return her feelings, girl got out of there and…

Don't forget the old 'Someone somewhere has it worse than you, so how dare you complain about anything else?" gambit so helpfully put forward by ZestyPiquante up there. One wonders how they find time to troll feminist blogs with so much suffering in the world.

So, how is an unwanted and unnecessary transvaginal ultrasound not rape?

In sixth grade I had a mutual-crush with a friend. Everyone knew it, but we were both too shy to admit it. One day during a science lab I looked over and his pants were hanging low, revealing underwear with a giant hole in it and a good chunk of butt crack. All my feelings, gone. :(

Are you sure we can trust her with that responsibility?

Plus, there is the Gorge in George, Washington.

Clark Kent?

It's uncanny when both my television and my computer screen are covered in Battlestar.

Well, to be fair, she did write that wrong.
