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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Did any of you get the email I sent with my change of e address? I sent it earlier this week. I've been having trouble with netscape for so long, I forget to check it, because half the time, it doesn't let me respond, anyhow.

I got it, Cindy. But then, I would, wouldn't I?

What is even happening?

Nora, insent. If you don't get it in a few, let me know, and I'll forward it over to gmail, and re-send.

I got it, Cindy. But then, I would, wouldn't I?

snerk! The hardest thing in this world is to receive my netscape mails. Do it, Frank. Do it, for me. You. Either one. :)

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I got it and responded.

WAH!!!!

Is there any comfort I can offer to make you change your mind???

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Happy Birthday, Fred!

The Burr Amendment -- named for its sponsor, Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) -- would reverse a 13-year-old U.S. policy banning exports of weapons-grade uranium unless the recipients agree to start converting their reactors to use less-dangerous uranium

Ah, yes, my senator. I'm pretty sure I'm on some kinda list, because I keep sending him letters suggesting that we do things that are somewhat less stupid than things he's suggesting. I hadn't thought that I'd need to tell him, "Don't export weapons-grade uranium, you idiot!" A flaw in my abilities to foresee Senate-level stupidity, evidently.

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

You know, this doesn't even sound appealing

I don't know if it helps any, but the real name is Buca di Beppo.

Nora, if we feel good, we're gonna crash, and bring so much food you're going to have to bring the leftovers to a shelter, afterwards.

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

Yay for non-meltyness.

I have The Daily Show Tivoed still. Maybe I should watch before work.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm kind of purposeful about touch -- either how I do it, or who I do it with. I'd rather spend $30 to get into a bar and not dance than $30 to get into a cuddle party and not cuddle.

Oh, HELL yes. There's not enough Ick in the world for me to express the levels of Ick I get from the concept of Cuddle Parties.

And I really really REALLY doubt my filters would find me someone to cuddle with. That's what people I know are for.

Per-zactly.
