And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

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

Meh, I didn't write it.

Friends don't let friends dismiss Veronica Mars unjustly.

Yeah, sorry, that came off a little weird. Not your fault, just addressing you for no good reason since you posted it. I don't understand why people get so down on genre TV. It's practically all I watch.

I wish those people would own up to the fact that "cop/doctor/lawyer 1 hour drama" is as much of a genre as "supernatural/sci-fi serial drama."

I may have to seize the cat.

I have recently taken to using the term "speculative fiction" for scifi/fantasy/horror stuff... Though it sounds a bit pretentious.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

SpecFic?

SpecFic makes me think of bad spec scripts.

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

Have you ever had vinegar up your nose?

I'll tell you what, I'll put vinegar up my nose, and send you a script, then we can compare notes.

Having experienced both, I think vinegar up the nose is better than reading bad spec fiction.
