The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

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.

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

YOU CANNOT CANCEL!

I am not dating any of those guys, ever. I'm more likely to date one of the chicks, so you can assess the likeliness thereof.

Erika, that was one of the things I liked and still do about GG. Mom and Daughter care about each other, but they don't need to Donna Reed it. And they make genuine (sometimes fucking stupid) mistakes, they get angry, but they don't stop loving each other.

It doen't feel remotely real or authentic, but the emotional base seems at least genuine.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

ita-- trimming back an overhanging tree, pulling weeds, gathering trash, climbing a tall ladder to try to pry a huge sign off the second floor, and fun things like that.

Kat--trip was GREAT!!!!! Hung with Best Friend for five days in the beautiful Berkshires in her cozy house. Ate great food and saw a play at Williamstown and visited our old college (where we met) and mostly just sat around and talked.

You need to read the fine print before you go signing employment contracts, missy! For *you* I hope the weather's not too hot.

Always Anti-fascist!

Oh, good Lord, Hec. She sounds crazy enough to be one of ours...the J clan is mishegoss central, except too goyish to read the same books as me.Kat, sometimes R. and L. feel real, but not usually because my mother would NOT allow me to butt in her life that way. Ever. But the part where they have stuff that is inside between them, is. But honestly, emotionally the real-seeming bond is between L. and Emily...pain, estrangement, disappointment, that's the stuff I know! No, my mom and I are close, just more like Munch and Stanley, though.

Nope, sorry.

It was On the Razzle, a Tom Stoppard farce, and was funny but not brilliant. Got to see Michael McKean live, though, so that was cool. Michelle Trachtenberg was in it, as an ensemble member, so I saw her, but she had no lines and was one of 20 or so supporting "townsfolk."

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

Oh, good Lord, Hec. She sounds crazy enough to be one of ours...

She's also recently heterosexual after a good 20+ years of same sex partners. It's all very odd. She's odd.
