First, thanks to Ianqui for coining the “Random Bullets of Crap” title. Some days, it’s the best thing going for me. Thank FSM for mothers like this and damn, I wish I’d seen the interview with Felicity Huffman (via mc). Man, I hate seeing people’s books along their sidebars and knowing I don’t have time…
