Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

Natter 45: Smooth as Billy Dee Williams.
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.

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

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Sorry if this was already posted in another thread. NYT again covers the effect of showrunners going on TwoP: [link]
From the article, of interest to VM fans:
Mr. Thomas conceded that his awareness of the fans' reactions had occasionally influenced the way he wrote "Veronica Mars." Fans hated a second-season character played by Tessa Thompson, he said, leading him to overcompensate in an effort to make the character likable. "I feel like I sold out a little," Mr. Thomas said. "She became a little saintly by the end. If I had to do it over again, I'd leave her a little more complicated."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Allyson, I hope it gets fixed soon. Is there any thought to looking for a new place? I know that would suck, but from your neighbors' said, it looks like this is sop for your landlord.
I am waiting for a/c repair man to show up. The 8am call said my appt. would be btw 12-2, so I'm more than halfway through the waiting, I hope.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
The apartments are so expensive, msbelle. It'd be hard to find a place in the area for the same price and then there's the expense of moving. I'm really just torn. I am taking Strega's advice and having the city inspect my unit. I hope the pressure makes them act.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Stuff like that Times article is why I'm surprised so many people I know have never heard of TWoP. I guess those people wouldn't really read those articles, is why.

Allyson, my ac woes pale in comparison and I was serious rage girl. I think you have every right to go godzilla on them. It sucks.
So I'm packed, trash is taken out, large travel purse is filled to bursting with entertainment and I'm eating lunch. In about an hour, I leave and take the cat to vet and then to the airport. Whee!
I guess I should check my flight times, huh?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Safe journey, sara, and safe return. Have fun in the middle!
Allyson, you really need you and Ruby to be in a hotel--this isn't safe for your health, or your belongings. I know once half the contacts Strega posted see the damage, you will, in fact, own the building, or very nearly. Go get 'em. This is unacceptable on any level.

Thanks all. Need to power down the laptop and put it away (no, I do not travel with my computer. Shocking, isn't it?!)

Our wings are not tired.
Have a wonderful trip sarameg. Smooth travels.
