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.

I edited. And L. DeBlois was a friend of mine. Wild child New Orleanian. Crazy life.

Also? Taking a 17 lb cat and bicycling his front paws? And the look on his face? Priceless.

I like to do "Stirring the pot" with my cats.

Sue has been uber productive. I got home, sat down and haven't really moved since.

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

I cleaned one room, and burned a CD for Aurelia. That's enough for one night, right?

I don't know what got into me, msbelle.

clearly all of MY energy.

Oh wait, I have been productive, productive getting things off my DVR (Jesse was right, I do consider this doing something). 6 shows so far!

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

I've just watched this week's WAT. I don't get why an intelligent and articulate and seemingly clearheaded and unscared guy confessed to a crime he didn't commit. They didn't even make it seem like he'd never win in court, really.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Aww. Still can't afford one (and don't really want one), but bless eBay sellers for keeping the dream alive. [link]
