Is 11-year-old boy reicarnated WWII pilot? This is sort of unclear and boring at first, and then when you get about halfway through it, it's like "oh, well, yeah, that is a bit weird."

Did something really wanky happen on yuletide last night that the mods had to delete posts?

I'll add to this later. Have to bring the cat to the vet now. Oh cat. ETA: on cat -- she's getting fluids, blood and urine tests, a vitamin shot, her nails trimmed and x-rays. They think it's her liver. I'll know more later and yet more tomorrow.

To think I once had a lover who said I only liked it because it was gay and well art directed; he was so afraid of me.

Los Alamos National Labs just accidentally blew up a building. I have the sudden urge to say that "dynamite is never the only option." Way to go, guys.

I'm not certain what specific yuletide posts were deleted, but there seems to have been a rather high number of comments this year from people who think that yuletide madness stories written for their recipient might reap the lion's share of the thanks or that the move to the new archive (and the related shaking out of bugs) will make it harder for recipients to know who to thank for the main assigned story, which...
