And I aged some cream paper flowers with Glimmer Mist (Old Lace and Iridescent Gold) and I'll see how they turn out when I get ...

Book Challenge #24: Catching Fire, by Suzanne Collins

... -- inspired, largely, by her -- are fomenting rebellions, and the Capitol is, shall we say, not happy. I really liked the beginning of this, and I liked elements of the whole thing. The writing and characterization remain strong, as in the first book.

I just had to write the following words in a paper: "the female character represents castration anxiety to the male collective subconscious due to her lack of a physical penis.

The Black Freighter

...'m just not used to babies and all the goo that seems to come with them.” She walked to the kitchen sink and started running some water. Maybe he'd respond better to a washcloth rather than wet paper. That move did give her some luck, as Chris seemed to get bored with his crying.

Andriy Versus The Giant Fruitbats, part 1

... legs on the way from Chicago to San Francisco, Andriy had approached the customer service desk while we were on layover. He talked to the glossy young woman and came back with a proud half-smile and two slips of paper. "I got us bumped up to first class." "How did you manage that?" "Oh, I just told her that my manager," he nodded toward me, "was tired of flying coach, and let her think that I ...
