1. The new US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is seeking feedback on how to make mortgage disclosure forms more understandable. If you have a few minutes, go and vote for the alternative you find easiest to understand.
2. I am seriously amused that Patrick Stump’s song This City, now free on iTunes, includes a lyric using the word “gentrification.”
( Civil War, understanding comics, economics and economic collapse, funky numbers )

Hanukah drabble offer: Comment here with one of my fandoms and a prompt and I will try to do at least one drabble a day during Hanukah, which begins Dec. 4. If I am ambitious enough I may try to have one that stands as the shamash and continues eight nights. I do not, however, promise nine on the last night! (Fandoms: Buffy, Chuck, Firefly, Heroes, Nip/Tuck, Smallville, Supernatural, X-Files, or anything else you think I know and might be willing to try.) ETA: Prompts need not have a holiday/Jewish theme, and drabbles may not either.

boniblithe! You sweetie! She sent me Dodie Smith (author of The Hundred and One Dalmations, a book I loved to pieces, literally!), Patricia Briggs, and The Gift: Imagination and the Erotic Life of Property -- isn't that amazing?

Yeah, not as enticing as "Girls, girls, girls" -- or really, given my assumed audience, "boys, boys, boys." But I have many more books than boys (and I'm not sharing him). Fantasy and science fiction.

We saw Gypsy tonight. Bernadette Peters had the promised star power, though the show didn't impress me much as a musical. It's a big Broadway week for us -- we see Avenue Q, the Sesame Street parody, on Friday.
I've read some books. ( Read more... )

John Keegan, Daniel Handler, Smallville tie-in, The Recruit, and Evanescence’s Fallen coming up. Then I get myself in trouble. If you want better-thought-out words, just stop reading after the reviews.
