Just an Old-Fashioned Log Post
They started out as lists of cool things seen on the web so you could share them with folks, ya know. So interesting/cool stuff I've seen. No politics today.
For some people, anticipating pain is as bad as actually feeling it. Research on the dread phenomenon.
Cherry harvest expected to be especially big this year. Yay! (My fellow Seattlites can find out about local farmers' markets here.)
They're redoing the old 60s TV show, The Prisoner.
Wow. Look at all the colors, man.
Reviews of chocolate stores.
Where the well dressed hippie teenager shops. They've even got plus sizes! (Courtesy of my niece.)
999 foods highest in calcium (per 200 calories). We're gettting there ladies.
Quotes from the Founding Fathers on Christianity and religion.
A really cool bookstore in San Diego. They carry F&SF and mysteries.
Prisoner with a plot that makes sense? What will they think of next?
The original show was pretty much the beginning of my DVD collection (so early in the phenomenon that they spread it over ten disks), and I still haven't got to the last few episodes. Maybe when sweeps are over ...

Hey! You're too young to get that reference. (I wondered if anyone would.)

If they're going to remake The Prisoner, they should also remake the old Apple II games based on it.

MG has horror, too, and lots of YA fiction (mostly fantasy-related) and will special-order other things if you ask.

Nolly - I thought about mentioning horror explicitly but in my head it tends to be part of f&sf -- though not a part I read. There are a lot of parts of the broad f&sf field I don't much read. I went to MG last time I was down in SD with Jordin and was very favorably impressed. If GA ever gets off the dime on that job offer thing (they're still talking about it) and we move to SD I expect I'll spend a lot of time and money in that place!
