On On Second Chances
@frigwiggin I'm so glad that book bothered other people as much as it bothered me. There's a way to talk about how we treat relationships and people as disposable sometimes without actually MAKING them disposable robots in your book (and/or real life), and Windup Girl completely missed that point.

@Inkcrafter Pretty much exactly like that, yeah.

@The Kendragon See, I knew it sounded familiar, and I couldn't figure out why! It should have been obvious, given the amount of time I spent thinking about The Mists of Avalon/The Crystal Cave/The Once and Future King in middle school.
@Mingus_Thurber It gets pretty crazy, for sure.

@The Everpresent Wordsnatcher Thanks! I drank half a bottle of wine and am watching the Pirates of Penzance, so at least something fun is happening.

@Mingus_Thurber Mine is actually a fish. I saw it on Planet Earth, and I had been thinking about how I needed a cool user name if I ever wanted to comment on any cool sites. I thought, I have short hair, and am often sarcastic, and there it was.

@The Everpresent Wordsnatcher That sounds also super-scary and weird. On the other hand, based on your clearly expert experience, I guess I can expect it to clear up in a day or two, right? Let's go with that.

You guys! I had a really stressful week, and now I can't taste anything except at the very front and the very back of my tongue. I'm kind of freaking out, and kind of not? It's weird. And yogurt is gross when you can't taste it, fyi.

@DH@twitter I'm feeling better and better about you sleeping on my futon in a few months, for sho.

@DH@twitter Sorry I'm jacking your thread a little bit (ew?), but remember all the way last week when we were talking about Geek Girl Con? If you email me at seattlepinners@gmail.com, we could discuss the possibility of you crashing on our futon, maybe?
