Hi! If you're reading this, you're probably either new to the journal or you're looking at the journal page for some reason and you read whatever's put in front of you whether you've read it before or not. Good for you either way.

Many of the posts here are friends-locked. This journal is pretty much in stasis at the moment; we don't often post or read.

This is where I put some links to posts you might be interested in if you want to get to know more about us.

Is being a walk in a plot point on Medium? Seriously?

from, um, everybody.

Go here and keep refreshing until you get five quotes that really speak to you.

"If you want to catch something, running after it isn't always the best way."
Lois McMaster Bujold, "Borders of Infinity", 1989

Nicholas Butler (1862 - 1947)

Regardless of politics, this is clearly the Best Headline Ever on the Olympic protests:

Kung-fu star Jackie Chan to chop down Olympic protestors

However, Chan insists anyone trying to protest on his watch can expect short shrift, warning: 'Demonstrators better not get anywhere near me.'

'We are not right about everything. Things are getting better in China but we can change and are changing. We want to learn from the rest of the world as well as teach others about our ways and our culture.'

Clearly the solution to diplomatic tensions between the US and China is to have Chuck Norris and Jackie Chan team up to fight international terrorism or demons or something.
