See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, those look comfy. Thanks!

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

These are very pretty. So pretty I don't believe in them.

Okay, I didn't order in yesterday. In fact, I skipped dinner. Why does this convince me I will order in tonight?

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

These are very pretty.

Oooh, those are pretty. I wonder if that works in places where the soil has very high or very low clay content.

I'm watching Miami Vice. Locke is in this one. Holtz was in the one before. Both have voices that'll have my head snap around before I process why.

Anyway, Gina sleeps with a guy against her desires in this one, to keep her cover. And then she weeps and asks Trudy to burn the dress she'd been wearing. I'm not wanting to imply that sleeping with guys for pragmatic reasons is fun, but it seems to be so often portrayed as terribly devastating for a woman, and never seems to come up (or just be part of getting too deep into cover) for the guys. Is that dramatic license, an extension of the whole fate worse than death thing?

Huh. Is that a very young Michael Madsen?

He looks better older.

I didn't realise that I thought of him as "that guy from Reservoir Dogs" until I went through the process of recognising him.

I love that movie.

I wonder if I own it...

It's the only QT I like. Well, no Jackie Brown was good, but it doesn't get me psyched like RD. Mostly I find Tarantino's work way too smug.

The London whale died! I'm all sad. There's an irony here that better water quality in the Thames could be leading to more aquatic mammal sightings. So a combination of pollution (noise) and less pollution (chemical) might have lead to its death. Poor woobie.
