Natter 42, the Universe, and Everything
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Exactly. I mean, does this situation just never happen to men or it is just verbotten to talk about? I think at least some women are just as capable of having sex without love or emotion.
While it probably happens to men less, it does happen. I think this is one of those mass entertainment conventions like guys always being the ones to cheat in a marriage (which, happily, GA doesn't follow). Like, there have to be two people for it to be cheating, and I don't think it's just one incredibly busy woman out there wrecking thousands of homes across the nation.

Do you have any idea how
tiring
that is?
I just finished listening to Our Man In Havana. I have no idea why I was expecting something Carreish. Either way, I'm entranced by the idea of playing chequers with mini bottles of alcohol. Why didn't I read this book while I was in university?
Do you think
GA: I think he sees a potential
in her
and wants to believe
it is either already realized or closer than
we are being shown. Or, I should clarify, closer than I can see.
I think this is one of those mass entertainment conventions
Which gets tiring to me. Life doesn't all follow the same plot conventions, maybe entertainment can try to mix it up a little as well.
I
hate
being asked for project documentation we should have been maintaining and now needs to be assembled pretty much from scratch covering months.
Basically I hate project documentation. The OCD part of me sees why, but the lazy part of me is very compelling.
GA: I think they are both at fault here. She is probably more so, because she is
making the decision to fib,
but his character is such that he assumes what he wants to see is actually what's there, without really listening to her.
Today has been very busy, but nice too, since I got/took a full hour for lunch, and I haven't had any competing projects.
He's listening. He's just not looking.
Maybe he's not asking the right questions.
me leaving office - "I am gonna be good and not get ice cream on teh way home like I want, I am going to have a healthier and actually balanced meal."
me walking home PASSED the Baskin Robbins - preen, imaginary "good" points.
me getting into my house - "hello house, hello Sylvester, hello Oz."
me putting things down see Oz walk over to litter box, not in it though, sit down and PEE ALL OVER THE FLOOR!!
WTF! Cat is damaged.
me now having homemade ice cream for dinner.
How can he not notice that
she hasn't really moved in when most of her stuff doesn't even seem to be there? I don't like Burke much,
and I think it's because he
seems arrogant and condescending to me. Like, by being with Cristina he's giving her a gift, that of course she will want the gift of Burke more than she wants anything else, even her independence.
She shouldn't be
fibbing, of course, but maybe she just doens't know yet what she wants most, and he's pushing in that gentle I-know-best-for-you way.
Or maybe I have issues.
For one take on Jesus as a teen, read Lamb : The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. I've gone from that to Good Omens. I do tend to go through phases in my reading material, but I'm not quite sure what to call this one.
