"Coming up next, a Novato woman takes romance writing to a new low."
And I SWEAR, my first thought was:
"I didn't know Stephanie Meyers lived in Novato."
Turns out, it's the 2008 Bulwer-Lyttons. I thought "I should have submitted the whole or Breaking Dawn.

headspin_x , so any fail found is mine. I don't own Doctor Who (how horrible would THAT be?!) Summary: The TARDIS realises how lonely the Doctor is, and does everything in her power to help him. Part two of a (long) series.
Author's Note: Sorry it took me so long to post this!
Here's chapter 2. The previous chapter can be found here.
- It's not likely to be televised, so you don't have to duck from foul balls in fear of being busted by your boss a la Ferris Bueller.
- It's one of the few times you'll be part of a 40,000-strong crowd.
- The rowdy kids are actually great fans. They're louder than hell.
- NO LINEUPS AT THE BEER STANDS.
- Mood: chipper
To the 15% of people who attend Blue Jay games at Rogers Centre who are actually good fans (and you know who you are), please excuse the following rant...
To the other 85% of people at The Rogers Centre:
You late arriving
Early leaving
Wrong jersey wearing
Drunkenly fighting
Non standing
Non clapping
Powder blue loving
"Wave" doing (thanks eribananaka)
Frank Thomas booing
Beer guy missing
Uninterested nitwits.
You are some of the worst fans in baseball - and I've seen games in Montreal and Pittsburgh. It's not even a Toronto thing, since the crowds at Argo and FC games could crush you even though those are "second tier" leagues.
Part of me hates the busloads of fans that show up from The States for Yankee and Red Sox games, but I'm starting to love 'em...at least they realize that place is a baseball stadium not a church.
I seriously don't know what it will take for the people who go to Blue jay games to wake the hell up

It is possible that things will not get better
than they are now, or have been known to be.
It is possible that we are past the middle now.
It is possible that we have crossed the great water
without knowing it, and stand now on the other side.
Yes: I think that we have crossed it. Now
we are being given tickets, and they are not
tickets to the show we had been thinking of,
but to a different show, clearly inferior.
Check again: it is our own name on the envelope.
The tickets are to that other show.
It is possible that we will walk out of the darkened hall
without waiting for the last act: people do.
Some people do. But it is probable
that we will stay seated in our narrow seats
all through the tedious dénouement
to the unsurprising end - riveted, as it were;
spellbound by our own imperfect lives
because they are lives,
and because they are ours.
I'm working in the Pediatric Emergency Room and the Palliative Care Unit at my local hospital, which is where they treat symptoms (as opposed the actual problem) as well as dealing with End of Life issues. This poem about life being different than how we wanted it to be strikes me today as especially relevant, considering I've been around people who would do almost anything to have a life in which they were not dying now.

Have you read the book (in this case, short stories)? Have you seen the film? How do the two compare?
My work comp completely died today, so I'm pretty effectively hobbled tomorrow. I'll attend meetings, but won't be able to do much else. It should have a new hard drive by end of day. Then, oh JOY, I get to reload all the programs. Poo.
robingf and I spent (at least) two hours on the phone, chattering (I'm usually sucky on the phone, but with some folks, not so much). We fleshed out the Interesting and three times as long as I originally thought. SHOCKER.
So, back to writing, but first to close the hatch!
silverkit: Yeah.Mom: Turns out you had every right to be nervous. Three tornadoes touched down last night, and one of them was right where you were.
silverkit:......It could have been worse; we didn't die, my car wasn't missing any windows by the end of the night, a tree didn't fall on me, and I can now say I've been in my car when the wind was strong enough to rock it back and forth like a boat on the ocean.
But on to Doctor Who Season Four thoughts:
Hey quick question for any of you UK folk out there. Rose mentions bringing grapes to the hospital in a Who episode, Jack buys them for Owen when Owen's laid up in hospital in Torchwood, and there are more instances, but I can't think of them right now. Is it a common cultural practice to bring grapes to someone who is in the hospital in the UK or is it just something characters created by Russell T. Davies do?
I'm just curious.

Yeah, House (season 5) starts on September 16 at 8:00pm! I know that that is still more than a month away but come on, we've been dealing with some pretty crappy summer tv and there is nothing worse than summer tv...except for that little writer's strike earlier this season. And House season 4 is being released on dvd on August 19 (and yes, i am going to buy it the day it comes out!). Today is August 5 and here is today's joke:

It is a cold and snowy night. The main street is deserted.
The only things moving are swirls of snow.
As I lift the mailbox door, I feel its cold iron.
There is a privacy I love in this snowy night.
Driving around, I will waste more time.
