Ugh, Corwood, that's such a problem. Esp when later on the article notes problems with the foster care system that point to REAL fostering issues that need to be addressed, like abuse. feh.
Buffy: You tossed that vamp like he was a... little teeny vamp. Riley: You wanna go again? C'mon. I bet this place is just teeming with aerodynamic vampires.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
So I'm poking around online to find synopses of shows I've missed and on the JoA site there is Joan's Diary. The interesting thing is that it includes weeks when the show didn't air and the diary entries touch on current events. My favorite so far:

I've been sneezing a lot lately. Does that mean I have bird-flu?
and this one:
January 20, 2005
So I'm watching Inside the Actor's Studio and you want to know who the guest was? J. Lo. J.Lo?! What's she ever done? She's such a great actor now that students should study and learn from her? I mean, come on. It's ridiculous, right? But I do like that questionnaire they have at the end. I'd tell you what J. Lo's favorite word is, but I couldn't suffer through the whole thing. So I'll tell you my favorite word instead: codswallop.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Just watched Alias. I think on Buffy, I bought why magic was crack more than I buy why Rambaldi is crack. That leadup was better. Still, addict Sloane is having the desired effect on me.
Jesse, I have no sympathy for you wrt skindeepla. It might get my ass fired.

So, today's high was 87. Tomorrow's is expected to be 55. This is making it really hard to plan my week.

"It turns out replica Civil War guns use real gunpowder, whereas 'Star Trek' phasers have only a battery-powered bulb that lights up," says Lessjo. "You don't go up against a guy with a firearm if all you've got is a flashlight."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Timelies!
Warning - this puzzle may drive you insane:
But speaking of the Video of the Day, today it's a simple animated gif. It takes a few seconds to move, so be patient. While you wait, count the number of figures, there should be 12. After it moves, count them again and there are 13. Where did the extra one come from?
I had to stare at the thing for a long time to figure it out....

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

55 in Boston tomorrow? Hmm. Is that what the weather's supposed to be like there for the rest of the weekend?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Warning - this puzzle may drive you insane:
Nah, not really.

Maybe I shouldn't have tried to solve it at 3 in the morning....
