The Captive Prince is getting published by a Penguin imprint!

This is awesome - I never thought they'd take a chance on a m/m romance - especially since it's not a straight up romance, in the romance novel sense - it's much more like an awesome adventure story with a heavy romantic subplot built in, which makes it a bit harder to slot into the romance genre. If it involved a straight couple, it might not even be called a romance at all, just an adventure story with a love interest.

Anyhoo, I'm looking forward to holding the third book in my hands. (Umm, I won't be buying it in a bookstore, though - I buy everything through Amazon.)

The free versions are going offline, so read while you can - happily, I bought the Kindle versions of books 1 and 2, so I can reread them in anticipation.

...why my vision seemed to get blurrier when I put on my glasses and got clearer when I removed them.

Oh my god

Real Fur, Masquerading as Faux
The Stuart Weitzman ballet flats from Neiman Marcus sported sweet faux fur pom-poms. The Alice and Olivia coat was trimmed with a dark faux fur collar.

The problem was that the faux fur was, in fact, real fur.

That’s right: it was faux faux fur.

In a forehead-slapping development, Neiman Marcus and two other retailers, DrJays.com and Eminent, on Tuesday settled federal claims that they had marketed real fur as fake fur. The supposedly fake stuff was actually rabbit, raccoon and, possibly, dyed mink.

John E. Karlin. Who is John E. Karlin, you ask? Apparently, a malevolent telephone empiricist and cord thief.

I remember learning in psych classes that seven numbers - i.e., the length of a telephone number - is about the maximum number string that most people can keep in short term memory.

Also, the thing about the dots is hilarious.

Anyone who’s disappointed with that news can adopt one of the other available dogs, which may or may not be gay.

I assume this is what comes from interacting with children at Thanksgiving. I'm too uncomfortable to sleep or to work - all I'm capable of doing, really, is staring vacantly into space.

Tumblr it is, then.

A Hoboken resident put out power strips to allow storm victims to charge their phones.
