"The Mount of Monte Cristo" and "Thrill your darlings"
*The second one is probably only funny to writers. "Kill your darlings" is a well known saying that means, essentially, no matter how much you love a sentence, character, paragraph, etc, if they don't work in the story you have to get rid of them.
There were some very funny riffs on authors, book titles and "only funny to other writers" stuff.
My friend A. posted this on Facebook. When I saw it, I quite literally laughed out loud.
No sadness, sweetie. {{{Seela}}}Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday
Today it is Friday, Friday
ETA: Just to be clear, what makes me smile is the fact that it's Friday. Not that horrible drivel by R.B. I just quoted. Actually I think my Fridays are worse now than they used to be before I had heard that song, because now, come Friday, R.B.'s horrible drivel invades my mind. Every week.
Now Friday's making me sad.

Go ahead, watch. It's less than two minutes. You use more time than this on checking the dryer lint.
My new best advice for aspiring writers:
For the love of all that is sacred, find another career!!!!!!!

(1) Seeing that Sir Winston has made a quick recovery (and am sending belated healing vibes) and (2) knowing I don't have to repeat old patterns of destructive behavior - one can change things if one really desires to do so. Doesn't repetition get old...and boring?

I'm back in a minivan! We switched me to a smaller car, for the gas economy, but now T is living with us (bringing the total up to 4 children), along with my sister (the one mentioned in the mental health thread) and I've got an extra daycare kid, and sometimes we have had to take two cars to get everyone to where we're going, so we switched me back to a minivan. I'm so THRILLED! Plus, the radio has a usb port so I can hook up my mp3 player, which has long been on my wish list.

J's thinking about taking up French, because he realized that he could get a BBA degree pretty easily, only he'd need to learn a new language (to a measly B1 level, but still). What a perfect reason for me to start finally learning French, too.
