skreidle, you made my day with these.
Lot 189: and J. thought his was expensive and cool. . .
The Flight to India: "Over the next few years, we can expect to encounter a lot less enthusiasm for free trade and globalisation in the parties and the newspapers which represent them. Free trade is fine, as long as it affects someone else's job."
Perhaps this Christmas my cousins will get me a Pope Innocent III action figure, complete with "Sons of Hohenstaufen, kiss my ass!" scroll. [Although one of the commentors in the Making Light thread says "My Jesus action figure could kick your Pope action figure any day of the week. And if Sunday wasn't a day of rest, he'd kick it twice.."]
Happy ThanksIndians day.
Jack Prelutsky pretty well sums up my ideas of thankfulness.
But, with the obligatory cynicism out of the way. . .
I'm thankful for you non-gender-specific guys, both individually and as a group. I'm especially thankful for Jonathan,nixve, scathach, sir_alf, theatrespace, uilos, and vond. Can you imagine us years from today, sharing a park bench quietly?
I'm thankful for the Internet (all hail the Internet). It's kept me in touch with people more than I can possibly say, and even introduced me to a few new ones.
I'm thankful for Len Scigaj, who singlehandedly introduced me to Modernist poetry in 1996; for my grandfather, who in the mid eighties did the same with science fiction; and for the members of TJHSS&T Shakespeare Troupe 1991-92, for (oddly enough) Shakespeare.
I'm thankful for my family. I sometimes wish I weren't, but there you go.
I'm thankful for Michael Hendrix, Brian Miller, Chris Telfer, Barb Fischer, Giao Nguyen, Jonathan Lau, Malcolm Eaton, Stephen Bush, Brian Maloney, Joe Price, Markus Haymaker, Nathan Dilday, Bert Isla, Kyle Gallagher, and all the other GMs I've played under whom I've forgotten. I'm thankful for my innumerable players, who are willing to go along with pretty much anything I come up with.
I'm thankful for my job, my living space, my car (even if it is threatening to break down), and my student status.
I'm thankful for my books, and that I have a place to put them all. I'm thankful for "The force that through the green fuse drives the flower" and Agyar and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" and A Night in the Lonesome October and Jazz Fish Zen and "The Waste Land" and The Day I Swapped My Dad For Two Goldfish and 100 Bullets. I'm also thankful for my other media, movies and music and video games. And for the stories others tell me, and for the occasional chance to tell my own.
I'm thankful I survived another year.
I'm thankful for lots of stuff I'm forgetting.

A week before Thanksgiving Day,
But turkeys can't anticipate,
And so there's turkey on my plate.

Date: 2003-11-28 10:07 am (UTC)i have been meaning for years (like, six of them) to send him a line a friend of mine spoke one day (being "He blows up bugs with butane") and see if he could make me a poem out of it.
