Announcement: I've been without TV (broadcast or satellite) for one year.
Analysis: Thank TPTB for DVDs and the internets. But life without TV is more doable than I expected.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

The batteries on Ellie's swing are dying. This makes the music very trippy.
I like WAT, although I'm not crazy about the new dectective. She seems like a stereotype to me.

Oh my, ita. That's ... impressive?
The worst bruising I've ever seen was my dad, after he'd been hit by a car. It was a bit more dramatic than that, but still.
Does Ellie like the trippy music?

You're up reading articles like that because the links make me happy?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I was hit by a car, I had no bruising or swelling at all, even though part of the knee was broken, ligaments were torn and the leg below the knee was broken. An intern told me I had a sprain, but he ordered a CAT scan "just in case." Good thing he did.

Yes, but not enough to give in to sleep.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
ita, maybe this will help you feel better.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I think my worst bruise ever was back in high school, when I was helping move some scenery from our school's stage (where it was being constructed) onto a truck for transport to the theater the show was going to be performed in. The stage door was at the same level as the truck bed, which was backed up to the door. Problem was, I didn't notice that there was a small gap between the end of the floor and the beginning of the truck's flipped-down door, and managed to put my leg right through it. Ended up with a scrap and nice ring of dark purple encircling my leg a few inches below my knee. This was a problem only because the play was a post-WWII Agatha Christie. The dress just barely covered the bottom of the gauze bandage and was obvious even with the heavy nylons I wore. At least the part was an elderly woman who was very sedentary, so I didn't worry about the dress flipping up at all.
