My manager just hugged one of the other managers. Now I'm all fired up about who needed consoling, and why.
Or, you know, whatever.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

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

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

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Venture Brothers just keeps getting more and more creepy.
Hec and I watched it late last night and laughed and laughed like drains, but, yeah, it's incredibly fucked-up. Emmett's been loving up lots of S1 Venture Brothers (and some of S2, except the first two episodes really creeped him out), but I kinda think this ep may need to be buried deep in the TiVo's bowels behind a complex maze of subfolders and parental passwords. Great stuff, but in a desperately fucked-up way, and fucked-up in a desperately grown-up way.
Hec warned me not to follow the news today and not to click on any link having anything to do with the Amish schoolchildren, which is probably wise given that I had a minor meltdown this morning over some rapper I had never heard of before whose wife had a severely premature daughter the same day I had Matilda, and the poor little thing didn't survive. I just wanted to snuzzle Matilda and apologize to the bereft rapper and his wife forever. So I'm very carefully knowing nothing but the vague outline of the Amish schoolchildren story; even the outline is making me shaky with rage, though.

What is even happening?
JZ, I thought about you when I heard all the horrible news. When Ben was a baby (and not as new as Matilda, I don't think), there was a news story running about a cat who kept running into a burning building to save all five of her kittens, one at a time. I think her name was Scarlett. This was over ten years ago, and I still can't make myself look for stories.
Tell us about Matilda. Tell us how beautiful she is, and what she does that slays you. Tell us about you. You worked so hard to have her. How are you recovering? Are you feeling yourself? How are you sleeping?

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

Uh-huh. Also, wrod.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
JZ, tell me you've heard of Run DMC.

Now tagless for your comfort.
JZ, you guys should be getting a package in a few days.
I pretty much had to avoid the news, too. I still get weepy and weird over some pretty horrific child-related stuff that happened when Owen was born.
ION, I am in love with the Clorox Bleach Pen. I rank it second only to the miracle powers of the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
