"It's a Pterodactyl Out of a Gay Jurassic Park." Oh, Tim Gunn, how you make me laugh.

This is going to be one of those majorly long catch-up posts about all kinds of random stuff. Seriously. I have a list.

First of all, I know I've missed birthdays and I think I've missed some going back a couple of months. Let's see, I know there was crusherbevdr back on 1 July and lasairfhiona on 3 July and wiccagirl24 on 4 August. So happy belated birthday to you and anyone else I may have missed.

I also missed some hugs for vr_trakowski, snowydragon1776, and lasairfhiona. **BIG HUGS to you all!**

It finally rained here. The temps have been fairly cool this month but as usual, we haven't gotten any rain--until Thursday and Friday. You know how some people get depressed by rain? Well, I get depressed when it doesn't rain. That's why I hate August so much. Everything turns brown and crunches and dies and it makes me depressed. We didn't get a lot of rain but it was enough to give my grass a green tint. There's a chance TS Hanna will give us more rain by next weekend. That would make me ecstatic.

So I often hear people say that there aren't enough good Brass fics out there but when a couple show up, no one reviews. So, I'm here pimp a couple of good Brass fics. Both pair Brass with an OFC but both are well-written and no hints of flaming Mary Sue tendencies. They also have casefiles but the first fic, By Design, seems to be moving a little faster. It also has a great Brass/Sofia friendship and excellent dialog. The fics aren't perfect--there are some typos here and there, but nothing that detracts from the story. Check them out and if you like them, please let the writer know. **I forgot to add that both these fics are GSR friendly.**

Oh, and can I just say that even if I weren't already on the Obama bandwagon, I would be just because McCain's ads annoy me to no end. I won't even comment on his VP selection of Sarah Palin.
