and then, the bride, the groom
the congregation and the priest
all got onto the train when we were
three stations east, yeah
hiding from a scandal
in the national press
they had been trying to get married
since they stole the wedding dress

Someday, here’s hoping.

Good tip.

A dark reddish, so I think I'm on solid ground there.

Had to get blood drawn for medical stuff today, so Ann and I went to Syrup Trap, a local waffle place we'd never tried before. I got a liege waffle with goat cheese, roasted hazelnuts and honey, and a mimosa, so I'm feeling very pampered.

Happy to be back in the dark with my migraine meds, though.

Good luck with the Gofundme, in any case. Very nice work!

This might be a better post to amplify, really.

Well, I doubt Neil’s going to be any help here, or that he would be even if he were to try, what with his current, eh, reputational irregularities.

Still, Whovians might be interested nonetheless.

Hello Mr. Gaiman,
You may remember me, I am the cabinet maker who built the "221b Baker Street TARDIS" for you.
I could use your help.
I lost my workshop in Wales. If you could share this fundraiser, it would mean the world to me.

And he's the "Arthur" of LADY DARTON'S SIN, as well.

Proofreading? What?

"President Trump continued to describe Portland as a city on fire Friday even as residents enjoyed the first fall rain and the lone demonstrator at the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building was dressed as a pink Care Bear."

Sometimes there is a good sentence or two in the NYT.

I’m guessing the second caption is a callback to whoever Conan’s talking to having tried to belittle him by saying he’s got a barbarous mind, and Conan’s throwing that back in his face.

Yeah, her name isn’t the Lady Annia, anyway — her name is Annia, and she’s a lady, but the “lady” part is a title, not a name.

I don't have much to go on. Never saw the movie, haven't seen the TV show since the early 70s at best. But I'm enjoying the book so far.

Kurt Busiek @kurtbusiek.bsky.social · 1d

Well, I'm reading it...

i like your pin shot
i keep it with your letter
done up in blueprint blue
it sure looks good on you
and when you smile for the camera
i know i'll love you better
peg
it will come back to you
peg
it will come back to you
then
the shutter falls
you see it all in 3-d
it's your favorite foreign movie
