I am so cranky today. No, there is no reason for it. Or rather, there are many trivial reasons for it and no good ones. It is your responsibility to cheer me up in the comments. I DARE YOU.

See? This is how romance novels are destroying our culture!

You only say that because you didn't read Meg's book! Romance is nothing, it's machine porn that you need to fear.

Machine porn. Check. [Adds machine porn to list of fears, right under "hospitals" and "them what love men in Speedos."]

I didn't write the book but it belongs to me. Nick bought it for me. someone becomes "a raping machine." but we think "rape" stands in for "fuck" in this scifi world. sadly.

to clarify, it stands in for "fuck" as its function as a curse word, not, you know, the activity. I hope.

Yeah, teh book was dedicated to his shrink first, then his wife...

I don't know.

When faced with seemingly intractable problems I often ask myself "what would a rugged-but-sensitive time-traveling Scotsman or vampire avatar of King Arthur from one of those books Celia reads do?"

And then I don't do that.

It's surprisingly helpful.
