My Lucy cat died yesterday. She was pretty old and had been fading for a very long time, but that doesn’t make it one bit easier. We’d had her ten years this month, and I miss her a lot.

Please don’t leave condolences on it either.

It was entertaining, though, and Tom Cruise still has a hot bod. I said shallowly. :) Also, Cameron Diaz does not look…

If, and this is very much an If, because it is based on not just a ship coming in, but a ship coming in with enough cargo to fill a pit, but if a girl was going to fly over to England for FantasyCon, what airport would she be flying into, assuming she has to fly on one of the dead cheap airlines which don’t seem to actually fly into Nottingham?
