Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Perkins! I skipped, too!

Though I have no idea why I use these exclamation points.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Um, is that a movie?

Yes. It's a movie about two gay cowboys that's gotten good reviews.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, I have come up with a plan in my head. I know I get more work done at school, but I don't feel like lugging the zillions of pages of readings I may want to use for my paper. So what I will do is spend the next hour or so making notes from the readings here, and then go down there for the actual writing. And my group meeting at 5. Bleh. I want a nap.

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

Perkins! I skipped, too!

You people and your being all busy!

I'm in Tucson for the weekend to help my mom with the Christmas shopping. Yesterday we hit lots of stores and the internet; today we get the tree and stocking stuffers.

Yay for Jesse's plan!

I hate my plan! I want my plan to include a nap and a movie!

Stupid school.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Hey peeps! I am awake. That, by the way, is a technicality. I am actually pretty comatose, but I am no longer allowed to sleep.

I skipped about a day of posts, but this, from sarameg, made me laugh:

Apparently, I got into "message" mode. So I had a message of "oh fuck me" greeting me this morning when I got in.

Best voice mail message EVAH.

WRT Jessica's article: How come I can't be arsed to care about the private angst of men who want to go to strip clubs and drink beek at lunch and then go home to their wives and babies? I want to say, get over yourselves.

Oh dang, I've got to do more Christmas shopping. The only folks who have been shopped for so far are the kids. I've decided I'm getting my MiL a gift certificate for a spa. She deserves it.

Oh geez, Isaac has this huge booger on his face and he's smiling at me. I had to go wipe it before I could finish the post.

Yeah. I can totally feel sympathy for guys who feel they're under too much pressure to be the breadwinning shark at work for 60 hours a week and then come home and switch to sensitive emotional needs-provider, but the strip club/beer lunch thing dispels a lot of that sympathy.

My only issue with the strip club/beer thing is making it a thing. As in just ask the wife if it bugs her and, if you actually respect her, stop doing it if she says it bugs. I'm guessing many women--I won't say most but certainly many--wouldn't have a problem with it. In which case, turning it into an issue is all about HIS issues, not hers. I'm a firm believer in the idea that every marriage should have TWO adults in it.

What is even happening?

I don't want my husband to be my emotional needs provider. I just want him to pick his pants up off the floor, and put them in the hamper. I am a woman of simple desires.
