Jim Smith, we can always count on you! Auntie Matter-- I might have to use that for the upcoming "mad scientist" birthday party!
But my mind is still on Korvar's "Auntie Em," in the context of story, as our own Emma... It tickles!

Auntie Matter?
When Auntie Matter gets involved, the killing tends not to be so much "serial" as "massively parallel". |

In other news, I'm eating an apple cider doughnut right now. This is your fault.

"Danny, that's good," his mother said, sounding strange and strained and cautious. "What's--"
"His name's Grayson. He works for the State Department."

"Uncle" (or possibly "Aunt") anything = setup for serial killer story.
Auntie Em? Look what her niece did to those two poor witches! |

Love the quote under your userpic. I finally had to go buy another copy of "War for the Oaks." I never liked that drawing of the phouka-as-dog, but I miss my battered old copy. The new trade size is too skinny! **I intend to use this quote as an analogy for my son when we are working on Algebra. "See? Which book am I talking about? I could mean any of the possibilities of this subset of this group." Our entire conversational history seems to be a string of analogy and illustration. Because I am always attempting to find ways to translate my self so that others will "get" what I mean? hmm.... :] |

The back cover is starting to come off mine. *sob* (It's signed. And I don't want to replace it. But I re-read it every couple of years or so...) Off topic: what's the best way to repair that? **I intend to use this quote as an analogy for my son when we are working on Algebra. "See? Which book am I talking about?

I continue to attempt to claw my way up toward the present. I'm gaining! That's good.
The fact that the Night Kitchen has become a fictional place is a tragedy. (As in, I can no longer go there and eat.)
The scene set there was eerily accurate. I think many people would be able to identify Rebecca on the streets of Seattle from that description. (Oh, that disconcertingly distracting pile of games in the corner of the lounge.) I tip my hat to the authors, and the MadGastronomer.
