"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Cindy, thanks for asking. It was really lovely. It would be cliche to say it went really fast, but it's true. At some point I looked around and realized how lucky we are to have truly cool, amazing, funny, interesting people in our lives. When I made a toast to that effect, it made someone (ahem... ahem... no names named, oh purple-haired one) laugh internally and roll her eyes forevah.

It furthered the sense that Jaye WANTED THE HELL OUT. And that she felt adrift and lost. A feeling that was echoed in Crime Dog. But I'm unclear on why I'm defending Barrel Bear since I didn't like it.

Lying Pig is one that I just roll my eyes at. And the last speech in Caged Bird. Where Jaye and Eric are all, "i had to leave to come back and I had to let go of you to get you back." It was like the crap Footprints placque of the bathroom.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

One minute they're making out at the zoo, happy as can be, and then the next she "realizes" she's a man-eater and dumps him. I think they could at least have waited until the next episode to do that.

Hey! That's my Every Single Relationship EVAH!!!

Is it that you realize you're a maneater?

No, I realize that I'm Not Good Enough and this must be part of a joke or bet, like I'm Lili Taylor and he's River Phoenix and it's a Real Life version of Dogfight and so I better get the hell out NOW before I get punchlined.

This is called "low self-esteem."

I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with meaning? What does that mean?

Hey! That's my Every Single Relationship EVAH!!!

That's... okay, mine too. But the point is, it takes me more than one day to realize what I'm doing!

(Which is occasionally being a maneater, but more often realizing this is not going to work out at all.)

Safety Canary improved upon second viewing, but it's still my least favorite of the ten I've seen. I have the biggest love for Crime Dog and Cocktail Bunny. I liked Lying Pig more the second time I watched it; I love the scene in the hotel room where Heidi and Jaye are fighting (especially the line about vegetables).

That's what I figgered. Allyson not a maneater in my book.

Best part of Lying Pig? When Jaye's dad clocks the doctor.

What is even happening?

Cindy, thanks for asking. It was really lovely. It would be cliche to say it went really fast, but it's true.

When I made a toast to that effect, it made someone (ahem... ahem... no names named, oh purple-haired one) laugh internally and roll her eyes forevah.

It does go so fast. Someone, I can't even remember who now, told me to take a couple of mental snapshots during it all. Those few moments are all I can now recall. I want to see pictures. Everyone who posted about it sounded on cloud nine--even people with purple hair, although they tried to hide their magic, by complaining that there was "nature." I'm so happy it went wall. I'll let you get back to WF. All the best to you, Kat and lori.

Nah. I'm a chicken dinner cooker/belly rubber. Until it all goes awry.

Dude. There was a lot of fucking nature.
