Best. Line. Ever.

[commodorified]

Are people seriously arguing that an insurance company should be able to avail itself of a conscience clause? Shouldn't it be made to demonstrate a conscience first?

Also, it appears that someone has produced, and fandom has fallen neck and crop for, a movie which is conspicuously lacking in (or at least lacking in conspicuous) race- and gender- fail.

So of course it has children fighting each other to the death.

*sigh* I'll be over here, listening to Cabin Pressure and rereading Austen. Or writing Now We Are Forty: Eeyore's Lament. Or something.

ETA: AND being genuinely happy for the rest of you. I'm mildly wistful, not actually feeling hard-done-by or wishful of harshing the squee.

I would read Now We Are Forty!

Yeah, I want to see Hunger Games, really I do, because it sounds good and also to be in the fannish zeitgeist? I'm just not sure I'm up to watching kids beat each other to death with bricks right now.

I am grumpily considering not going to the movie because it is notoriously shaky-cam, which triggers my migraines, sigh.

I read all three books for the first time last week, and was shocked by how grippy and spare they are. But not to be consulted if you have the quite reasonable squick our hostess mentions, or if you're in the need of even moderately cheerful books.
