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.

I'm watching Snow Wonder right now and one of the characters just said, "There are people on skis at Sunset and LaCienega." It made me laugh. If ever there was a place that was meant to be a ski slope, it's that block. I dunno how you'd ever get back up the hill though.

'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"

Did anybody watch The Poseidon Adventure remake on TV? Now I'm curious as to just how much of a trainship crash it was. Because the original really is a Platonian ideal of Cheeseorific Disaster Movie and is pretty much perfect as is.

I thought about it once I heard Adam Baldwin was in it, but in the end I just couldn't make myself do it. Well, also I forgot. But I've heard it's very nearly as bad as the original.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I just had a divine (okay, not really... it was more of a mundane) revelation about a paper and something else I'm writing. I better write something down before I forget!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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

Hey, don't knock the type of revelation.

eta:

The Wholefoods in Glendale?? I need to check the one near me. Thanks!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

yeah, but then, ita, when I wrote it down, I realized it might have been a revelation, but it was even less than mundane. It was merely bullet points worth.

But I have seen the light about how to approach 3 of my 5 papers. That was last night's revelation.

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

I wrote a paper once. It wasn't fun. I don't envy you one bit, but rather congratulate you.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Sbeta, a native of Libya, gets help from Poncho the Goat, a loyal ram who several times a day leads a small group of kid goats through a narrow alley to the slaughterhouse door. Poncho leaves the animals inside and trots back to a cozy corral while a worker slits the throats of his former charges.
Goat concentration camps. Without the forced labor and more with the just killing.
