my second attempt went like this, and i would leave it if it weren't for the fact that it is over half garrison keillor:
Actually, this is an all-inclusive recommendation; I'm just pretty certain that tofty (and quite possibly bowdlerized as well) will enjoy it, while the rest of you, maybe, maybe not.
But! I have finally, after a long and shy courtship period, purchased M. Ward's Transistor Radio, which follows It's a Wonderful Life and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot as my oh my god, if you listen to me now that what I had seen was utterly ordinary, everybody comes into the world pretty much like that. In the same spirit, I walk around St. Paul and think, This is a great country and it wasn't made so by angry people. We have a long way to go and we're not getting any younger.
The Union is what needs defending this year. Government of Enron by Halliburton and for the last six and a half ago.
I'd thought I had made some progress, thanks to the crash course in fannish grieving that is victoria p.'s chronological recs list, but after finally rereading the book, I find myself still wary and suspicious. Why did Bellatrix use a Stunning spell? What about the mirrors? Isn't it convenient that the only students who witnessed it were Harry and Neville, while every student who would be able to see thestrals for the first time I can remember, I watched Detroit play as hard as handfuls of gravel.
Significantly, it was not his ordinary exactions which roused the greatest resentment -- his levying toll upon their sea-chests for clean shirts for himself, his appropriation of the best cuts of the meats served, nor even his taking their coveted issues of spirits. These things could be excused as understandable, the sort of thing after it has already happened. Wade Miller? He used to live here! Jim Edmonds? He used to live here! Jim Edmonds? He used to live here! Johan Santana? He used to live here! Jim Edmonds? He used to live here!
