Book 5, Chapter 20, In Vale The Air is Thin

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that Monty Python and the Holy Grail is funny, but that quoting the best bits stopped being funny a long time ago. Sometimes, you've just got to get a new joke.

From Leah Quincy Creates, although as far as I get the Tumblr stuff, it's someone else's costume.

All hail the glow cloud!

Book 5, Chapter 19, Second Sword

Let's hear it for every boring, generic motel. People who aren't on expense accounts have to sleep somewhere. 

In Sacramento, I'm told.

Book 8, Chapter 18: Breaking Bulk in a Loading Dock

This installment dedicated to the what-drugs-were-they-on architects who originally designed the Woodwards Food Floor at the Oakridge Centre Mall in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Book 7, Chapter 16: Revelation in a Hangar

Kristen Kreuk in Legend of Chun-Li, everyone.

Part of the moral of the story is probably that it is very hard to make Chun-Li's haircut look good in real life. The other moral is that Kristin's had to work very, very hard and take some awful roles. 

Book 6, Chapter 15: Séance For A Supply Closet

If you're old, like me, you remember Katherine Kurtz's Deryni novels with great fondness, up to the point where she decided that what she really liked to write about was pseudo-Masonic rituals.

I mean, I guess if you're going to write your obsessions, it beats being a pervert, but who cares what order the wards are touched in?

Book 6, Chapter 14: Home on Time

Speaking of vegetating on Steam all day, someone might have spent the whole of Monday playing Civ V instead of writing. 

That someone also owes Andre Norton for the visual cues of the "ancient treefort city." (Also, for not figuring out that her Janus novels are so inscrutable because they're heavily veiled gay coming-of-age stories. In my defence, I read them when I was twelve. Janus is the two-faced god. Get it? Get it? I'm also willing to bet a hundred quatloos that he is portrayed as a hermaphrodite, sometimes.)

Book 5, Chapter 13: Basilisk Orb And More

I. . .liked this book when I was 10.

Now it should be a Sci-Fi mini-series. "The Fall of Atlantis --a Tale For Our Time!" (If you're wondering about the connection, the Mandragalore sank Lemuria, so a sunken continent, if not Atlantis. Oops. Chapter spoiler. Please unread.)
