Just remember, you have far better sense memory of the layout and location of stumble-causing furniture than any prowler.
Or you can just put ita's bed by the door. Safest three months of my life.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

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

Having the stranger from the internet sharing your apartment would most likely look like the complete opposite for most people, though, ha?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Heh. I think this is a good plan. ita by the door would work well to disperse the drunken hitchhikers that frequent our place.

She can be a little vindictive, he fucking terrorized her.
Yeah, but I'm not entirely clear on whether or not that was intentional. I'm not arguing that he wasn't a prick, and a smug know-it-all who could use some comeuppance, but... hm. New paragraph.
I was trying to come up with an analogy, partly along gender lines (because I think gender played into the power issues going on there so I was thinking maybe reversing the genders would illuminate something), but I'm having a lot of trouble coming up with it. So I'm wondering -- have we seen this dynamic before? Where the red herring suspect -- who's assholeish enough to have both cops and audience believing he could be the perpetrator of awful deeds -- turns out to have been innocent of all wrongdoing and then has a horrible thing done to them? Probably. I'm sure the sleepiness and drunkenness is affecting my memory. Anyway, if anybody thinks of one, let me know?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I don't think he did it on purpose, but she didn't stab him to death for it, just snarked him good.
And this is the second morally vague one-liner ending.

I read thought she was sincere, but that it came out a little edged. She meant it, but she wanted him to know she was gently throwing his words in his face.

A friend had a birthday today; so I missed the inside, and I managed to misset my VRC. I sort of have an approximate idea from skimming this thread. Anyone care to do a recap?

It just felt like an appallingly bad time to get the snark in. But, you know... mileage. Beagleage?

Sure, but when would the chance to uncuff him come again?
He had it coming AND it was a little evil of her. I think that may end up being my favorite thing about this show.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Well, the guy's on the dishing end of the thing, not the receiving, so it's vaguely academic, and, while he may be right, it's not the visceral kind of knowing. What was done to him (and, previously, to her), is, put in its simplest form, what he's been playing at.
There's a lot of rather snarky, "You so don't own the deep end of the control pool." But also some genuine, "I know what this is, and you can come out on the other side."
And I'd lay folding money he'll be redecorating his basement.
