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

The second neighbours are older, but most of the other characters seemed to be mid thirties.

It took me three tries to make it all the way through, and that's with the obvious Colin love.

Because books.

I could do this. In the book: Virginia, the older, very proper and gracious neighbor, kills her husband (I think, it's been a while -- or possibly is found having sex with someone, and her husband kills her and himself). There's a young couple with a daughter who moves in, and the husband is very controlling and verbally abusive and ambitious, and when the wife throws a big Christmas party, the daughter gets violently and messily sick in the kitchen. I think Colquitt and Kim almost make love, and Col's husband attacks Kim. And her friend, the one with all the teenage boys, moves away to a kind of mean little house in a nasty suburb and won't talk to Col anymore. I guess I forgot more than I thought. I want to read it again now, and I have no idea where my copy is.

Crap! I forgot that my dvr listing is off for CBS and I recorded The CW instead. Is TAR one of those shows you can watch afterward online at CBS? Or, can someone quickly summarize the second half of tonight's episode?

Art Crawl!!!

TAR: She may have been eating steadily -- but she was also vomiting regularly. Well, I knew it was their time to go -- but I'm sad to see David and Mary go. (I love how she learned a bit of the language of wherever they were -- it should be standard but it's amazing how few teams do that.)

Sorry everyone!

Plei, you do know about Barkley's vid to this? It's an Atlantis/Air Wolf vid, and it's So Fucking Fantastic. John Sheppard and Stringfellow Hawk, and the earnest emo stylings of Journey.

Oh. My.

No, I didn't know about that. Huh.

Journey != hair band.

Hair bands require more of a commitment to Sparkle Motion than that. And tended to be Hair First, Music Second.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

one should not get winded making a bed. seriously.

Aren't you sick? I'm just getting well, but this weekend I had to bargain with myself for doing chores that I would do 15 minutes on and take a 45 minute break. I was able to do that twice and was ridiculously tired.

Sadly, that's my normal state of affairs. I'm so freakin' tired that all of life is this bargain: put clothes away and then you can lie down on the bed where the clothes will be noticeably absent!

oooh! bon, I was just given a new journal. It's green and has a giant chocolate on it and says the words "bon bon" in deco script. It TOTALLY reminds me of you!
