Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

Don't be afraid, Heather, just be about 30.

Today worked out considerably better than yesterday. I'm almost caught up on some stuff at work that I'd been putting off due to avoidance issues, and spent a good chunk of the day painting changes on digital artwork (which I love doing). To celebrate I finally stopped procrastinating and went to the recently re-opened Moroccan restaurant to order the grilled lamb chops. Turns out I wasn't exaggerating the taste nostalgically in my head after all, they were just as good as I remember from years ago.

Looks like NOAA isn't super worried about a tsunami from that quake. If you look at the shake map, not a lot of people are reporting having felt it.

Even though that's a big quake (7.4 according to NOAA but 7.0 on the other map).

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

Hey ita, are you around? I have a Krav question.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm around for a couple more minutes, Allyson.
