Our wings are not tired.
Skimmed the article, because long. Sniff, I enjoyed The Woman in the Window quite a lot! That is distressing. Sitting here shaking my head at the extent of wrongness there.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

There is so much brio in his sheer commitment to his many apparent lies that it's hard to avoid feeling delighted.
Nah. Not hard at all.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Of all the details (SO MANY DETAILS) in that whole fuckety-upety thing, the completely made up second doctorate before age 30 in Munchhausen studies was the most.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The "You're So Vain" working title made me laugh. And the PhD for studying Munchausens. OMG.
