Another reason I couldn't have written ME2 is that every time Shepard met someone From Before, I would have them say "Are you serious?" so that Shepard could reply "No, I'm Cerberus.", and then I would have been dumped on the side of the Yellowhead with no snowboots.

I hope whoever picked their hats always finds their favourite socks, and whoever picked that last "crowd" shot should win the Emmy for live TV whatever.
Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

I read a tip earlier this month that I'm going to start implementing–when you purchase something online and they require you to sign up for their mailing list, note in one of your name boxes the website you're filing the form out on. Then you know who sold your data when your inbox gets clogged.

Just had door to door sales guys so annoying that I immediately emailed their company to complain about them before tearing the flyer into tiny pieces. IT IS COLD OUT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SAY "I DON'T WANT WINDOWS RIGHT NOW" THREE TIMES.

I drafted 3 novels (one is in proofs, one in copy edits, and one in revision). I am tired.

I was admittedly a bit o.O wrt lichdom, but as soon as Emmrich said "and of course, time to read all of one's books", I knew he'd be great at it.

Because of 🎶lake effect🎶 we might get 50cm of snow between now and Friday. We might also get none. There is no way to be more specific until it literally starts falling, and even then it might change because of how fast the system is moving.

This is wildly seasonal, but there is nothing on this earth better than fresh wild blueberry pie. For winter pies, I like apple best, but it has to come with cheddar sharp enough to cut diamonds and old enough to vote.
I'm baking pie right now so, do you have a pie preference?

I genuinely love turkey and my mum's stuffing. I know people love to complain about turkey, but if you cook it properly, it's pretty great. I am having sympathetic turkey dinner on Saturday because Thanksgiving was a month and a half ago, but everyone's food posts make me yearn.
Favorite #Thanksgiving dish?

Current grocery rage blackouts brought to you by 5lbs of potatoes being $2 more expensive than 10lbs of potatoes, and the amount of math I have to do to figure out which toilet paper is the best price.

The fact that Doug Ford turns immediately to bullying when he's confronted with literally any form of opposition really tells you everything you need to know about him.

I do make all of my money from books (and 99% of that from advances; I barely clear a grand a year in royalties), but I had a GIANT advance from Disney in 2014 that my financial advisor put to use, and I'm Canadian, so health insurance is $112 a month, plus meds, ½ dental, ½ eyes (FOR NOW).
I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Colleen Jones has died.
One of the greatest curlers in Canadian history, she appeared at the Scotties 21 times, winning six championships. She also won two World Championships. Jones was also a broadcaster on CBC for four decades before she retired.
