Who would've guessed that sweet Paddington Bear hates trout so much? ;-)

I'm back home in New York, and after 16 hours of travel (and sitting in airports), I get to be at home for a couple of hour before I have to go in to work. Thrills. Doesn't help my mood any that my suitcase with three of the four plush pals I took on the trip is still in Philadelphia, a victim of my flight being oversold and overweight. They ( Read more... )

I so want this book set. I don't care that it's going to be almost $100. Having a hardbound collection of every Calvin and Hobbes comic strip ever done is well worth it, IMHO...

Even my plush pals (and the personae they represent) haven't been nearly as active in my imagination recently as they usually are, and that's a bit troubling ( Read more... )

While I was rummaging around on my computer late last night (even though I was physically and mentally exhausted again last night, I still couldn't fall asleep until almost 4:00 am :-/ ), I found the Introduction post I'd written for one of the first plush mailing lists I joined.
