I read this book while as a teen and I was in hospital after some mouth/jaw surgery. It successfully put me off drugs for life.

I am printing this out and putting it up next to my desk to remind me to work.
Your smut trivia for the day: The first person to ever go full frontal and show pubes in the pages of Playboy magazine was not one of their typical white centerfolds of the time, but a black dancer/actress — Paula Kelly! I remember her from the first season of NIGHT COURT. She was nominated for an Emmy for that. She was also awesome as “Cleo” in TROUBLEMAN (1972) — which sports one of my fave scores of the 1970s.
Some civil rights leaders objected to the fact that it was a black girl who had introduced pubic hair to the magazine; accusing the magazine of stating that black women are just playthings for white men to be titillated by. Hefner and Playboy were very sensitive to the criticism, and didn’t show any black women in the magazine for a while after that.
Anyway, this is a bit of history that seems to have been forgotten (its not even mentioned on her IMDB page), so I thought I would mention it. Anyway, here’s to you, Paula! *raises drink*

So, there’s a guy on etsy who sells nothing in his shop but water colors of Captain Ron. It’s glorious. Check it out.
Sometimes there’s so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can’t take it…
Poster for the 1957 film The Astounding She-Monster. The trailer for this film advertises the woman as being “From space beyond outer space.” Indeed.
