"Ever tried to get blood-stains out of a silk shirt? Nightmare!"

... I kind of want to read the book now because the movie was so great! 2) Seeking Bobby Fischer , which is a film about a 7-year-old chess genius that I thought was going to be awful but turned out to be INCREDIBLE. It makes chess seem like a beautiful art, and the boy who plays the main character is SO amazing!! Plus there's a great supporting cast. :) I would highly recommend it; it's beautiful...

... - Styx The headlines read 'these are the worst of times' I do believe it's true I feel so helpless like a boat against the tide I wish the summer winds could bring back Paradise But I know, if the world turned upside down Baby, I know you'd always be around The best of times are when I'm alone with you Some rain some shine, we'll make this a world for two Our memories of yesterday will last a ...

Jon Hamm in GQ magazine

... “But he wasn’t just a football player in a suit. You could see that he was intelligent. He was vulnerable. He was an adult.” When Hamm left the room after his first audition, Weiner turned to his casting director and said, with absolute confidence, “That man was not raised by his parents.” ***** Every great television series reveals its entire story in its pilot. (Remember Tony and Dr. Melfi’...

Of daemons and alternate universes

.... And then I thought: since the characters grew up with a different upbringing and experience different challenges, would their daemons still stay settle as the same thing in this universe? Many of my answers turned out to be yes, but with some differences. For example, in a harsher universe, the then-fluffy playful cat daemon becomes a ragged, harsh, sly little thing making full use of his/her ...

Yes. I stole your credit card....

..., you have it, GO CHECK!!!!" So I oblige, checking all 3 credit card stations, and all open tabs looking for her name, and behind the bar, and even call down to club reception to see if it's been turned in by someone else. I return to tell her this, and her guest is embarrassed (for himself, her, or me- I don't know) and offers his card to cover the bill. She smacks his hand away and says, "This ...

...is, actually, the grounding, not just an auxiliary earth ground: the wires that come across the overhead cable from the house are just the suspension cable itself and the two hot phases. (not optimal, I know.) So I turned everything off in the shop, pulled the ground wire, put up the new siding, punched a new hole, and put everything back, with no sparks. Woo! I did get a few sparks on one of the ...

... been, she was poised, senses tuned. The wights and Others were a concern, sure, but nothing compared to other matters, other people. There was a fear in her since Kadaj had returned, something that had turned the knob on her up, and little noises set her off. Like, a direwolf pup barking and the scent of smoke, for example. Breaking into a run, she dashed down the street, following the sounds ...

RP: With a little help from my friends

... returning to sway in front of the stove, stirring the veggies. Suddenly deciding bread would go well with the meal, she hopped up on the counter to reach the bread box- for whatever reason it wouldn't stop hovering, especially when it got warm in the kitchen- and tugged it back down to the counter. She turned up the music a bit and began to slice it, wondering if she'd be able to hear the floo.

All_Unwritten #218: "forever is an awfully long time"

... over my skin and sent chills down my back.   "I'll love you forever."   "Please don't say that," my voice choked with tears.   "You can't promise me forever."   "I can," he turned his face towards mine, his chocolate brown eyes meeting my bright blue ones.   "This is forever," he whispered a little bit louder, taking my hand and placing it over his heart.   "No one has ever ...
