  • Nov 16, 2009: In What Does It Mean To Be A Cat Lady?: "I like the 'attitude to cats' idea, that's something I'm going to remember. Even in advertising, cats are girls, dogs are boys (it's so much a trope I've seen it subverted deliberately with Whiskas..."
  • Nov 16, 2009: In What Does It Mean To Be A Cat Lady?: "Frederica, that's slave labour. Do you even think about paying those poor souls? No. Because you're just a nasty human confining those noble creatures to a life of servitude. Shame be upon you."
  • Nov 13, 2009: In Lady Gaga Wants To Write A Bad Romance: "When she has the pink wash in her hair and the googly eyes she looks spookily like Siobhan Donaghy, for some reason I can't quite pin down."
  • Nov 13, 2009: In "Risky Business" Reenactment FAIL: "Maybe they're friends of Arthur and Ford? Towel to the rescue I guess :/"
  • Nov 13, 2009: In How To Get The High (Very French-Feeling) Bun: "My hair is also far too thick for this. It's almost to my waist and I'd still need to grow it another few inches before length to width ratio would work out."

Fave Quotes

“Humans need fantasy to be human. Take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through the finest sieve and then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. And yet you act, like there was some sort of rightness in the universe by which it may be judged: Yes. But people have got to believe that or what’s the point? My point exactly.” - Death

“Anybody who believes there’s a better world waiting for them as soon as they leave this one ain’t gonna take evasive action to put that off. If you believe that #&@$%, then you go throw yourself out there and buy the rest of us some time, because I sure ain’t trusting you to get my back. There are ONLY atheists in fox holes.” ‘Pandaemonium’ Christopher Brookmyre.
