Why yes, in fact.

>(If you're uneasy about the use of technical terms for writing stuff,

I'm actually kind of a sucker for jargon, much to my editor's occasional despair when I was a newspaper reporter. :)

>Yay Lara! Because everything needs more tomb raiding. And Tom
>braiding.

When the original Tomb Raider was still a relatively new game, I had a roommate named Tom; either he or I bought a copy at some retail chain that used big square price tags, and noticed when we got it home that the price label on the copy we had had been applied so that it very neatly covered the B in the title. Tom liked that very much.

>She's disapproved of all the girlfriends I've had since (not, as 
>my grandfather says, that they could fill a rowboat)

"Disapproved" might not quite be the right word; it implies that she thinks her approval is in some way required, which is probably where the snobby vibe comes from, and isn't really accurate. It's just that she hasn't particularly liked them. Which, given that they're quite a small group and two of them were the Onatopp sisters, well, it's conceivable that Lara might have a point. :)

>I laughed and I laughed.

True: The concept of the "Who's Nabokov?" scene has been on the board for... jeez... years. Possibly as many as 13. Zoner and I first jotted a version of it not very long at all after Sakura first entered the WL picture. It's been a question of finding a place to fit it ever since.

>(to be continued because it is Way Too Late and I need sleep.)

yay!
