There's no humor like cat humor. You know you have to click. They're irresistible.

We're about to buy an exercise cycle, but this made me wish it could be a treadmill instead, because there'd be hours of endless and free enjoyment...

I'm too lazy to do the meme, but curious to see how many. I've read exactly 50 of the 98, and as I went through the list, I couldn't help but wonder (of the ones I'd read) why THEY WERE EVEN ON THERE?! And why some others weren't. One I was pleasantly surprised to see on the list was Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernières. And no, the movie doesn't count. This'll be my sleeper rec from the list.

Review: Back when the Axis of evil was Germany, Japan and Italy, this is the story of the Italian occupation of Greece, of love and human kindness, of the wild fortunes and misfortunes of war, all set in the richness of a Mediterranean climate and culture so vivid you'll swear you're there in the midst of it.

So, this is a link to amand_r's LJ post where she has a short list of conversations between Tim Gunn (Project Runway) and some fandom characters.

I practically peed myself reading these--highly recommend the Mister Rogers and Severus Snape ones. These were written in response to, Without justifying how the crossover would work, how their worlds clashed, or how they could even meet each other. Just a silly crossover conversation with no backstory, for fun.

These are taken from his book, "How Not To Write: The Essential Misrules of Grammar." One of the other admins on Sycophant Hex shared this, and I thought the other writers on my flist would get a kick out of it.

I rarely use my journal to kvetch; that being said, this is mostly a kvetching post.
