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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oy. Too late.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Heh. John Tynes edited the last film Paul shot.

I *thought* that's who it was!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

We got up at 6:15 this morning on a Saturday to drive out to Concord for a 7:30 warmup for an 8:30 tournament baseball game. Jesus, that was a long fucking day. We had a second game at 2:30. In between games we hid out at JZ's mom's house, then went back there after all games for dinner.

Woof. I'm not loving this. We lost both games too. 2-1, 4-1.

Emmett did hit a clean triple in his very first at bat with the tournament team, though.

Someone fly me to California and get me a job and a place to stay, k? Thanks much.

The status is NOT quo.

Hee. Emily, I have recent experience with this task if you need moral support...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You can stay with me, Emily.

There, you're a third of the way there.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Hec! You poor over-baseball-saturated dad!

You, Mr. Hecubus, have been sending e-mails to my hotmail account, which I only check maybe once a week anymore. Gmail is my primary e-mail now, which you've been using, so the switch back to my hotmail address confuzzles me.

In any case, I wasn't ignoring those e-mails; I just didn't know I had them until today, when I checked hotmail.

Excellent! Alas, I have another year of school left, and then I'll be licensed to teach only in this state, and all in all a move to California is a far, far future plan. But somedays I'd like to chuck it. If only there weren't that pesky money thing!

On the up side, I know now how to use trigonometry for certain somewhat contrived problems. So go me!

Should go to bed now. Don't wanna. Maybe I'll take trigonometry with me. Good night, all.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Now I need to find a shooting range with classes.
