That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

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

I'd make the 5 cent Lucy Van Pelt diagnosis that the hurricaine is unsettiling you in a visceral empathetic "been somewhere uncomfortably like there myself" way. Then the theft just tipped it over the edge. (And I don't think vividly recalling that kind of trauma is a whiny first-world problem.)

Maybe making yourself an emergency box and a go bag [link] would make you feel a little more secure? (everyone should have them anyway).

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Quester, it strikes me that being worried about what you are going to do in case of a big emergency -- having been through one already! -- is not so much a First World problem as it is a universal one, and in fact it's us 1sters who have it so easy that we believe we won't ever face such a situation. One answer is to cultivate family and community ties that we can depend on. Another is to encourage good and responsible government that will protect communities, and the families that live in them.

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

I'm eating a roast beef sandwich on my honey oatmeal bread, and wondering how anyone could call it cake.

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

I am struggling not to eat another cupcake.

I blame ita, and it makes me want to call her roast beef sandwich a cake.

Call it a cake if you will. You can't erase the delicious taste from my mouth. You'll just brand yourself craxxy, and lord knows there isn't enough Blue Mountain in the world to start giving any of it to craxxy people.

Uh oh.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Oh, he looks very tarted up.

It's the lips. And the dyed hair.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And the eyeliner?

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

Damn. I meant to tape PB - I think my bartender may be in it.

I've got it, brenda. You're welcome to come over and watch. (You have your own personal bartender?!)

Maybe they can do a big 24/PB crossover event.

I'm waiting for it to become The Fugitive, buddy pic style ( which doesn't preclude a crossover now that I think about it). Tommy Lee Jones can guest star.

What part of town do you live in, quester?

I do think it would have been better to see Roddick as his own cowboy-geared mojo rather than someone else.
