a relationship with Greg would be way too healthy

Although you have to wonder about a guy who doesn't tell his overprotective mom about his considerable promotion for more than two years, and only tells her because he lands in the hospital.

I'm just being slow this morning.

Now I'm just a guy sitting in the thread, talking to himself...

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm just being slow this morning.

I boggle that it's still morning somewhere in the country. Because I'm already beginning my it's-almost-5:00 rationalization. (Which, roughly, goes something like this: Hey, 2:30 is almost 3:00, and I bet that 3:00 is here before I even know it, and then 3:00 is practically 4:00, and 4:00 might as well be 5:00, which is the end of the day WOO HOO!!!!! ....What? It's only 2:30? Ffffffuck.)

In a sudden CSI/Criminal Minds conflation in my head, I was about to respond "That's because his mom, while brilliant, is schitzophrenic, and one can see why he's uncommunicative with his mom about some things," but that's Dr. Spencer Reid, not Greg Sanders. Why I just breifly conflated those two characters in my head, I don't know. I guess they fill similar (though not really) roles on their respective shows.

Perhaps I just watch too much TV.

Ah yes, the 2:30 psych out. I remember that well.

Speaking of TV characters with schizophrenic moms, did anyone else see L&O:CI this week? I wasn't going to tune in (as usual--I watch the syndicated reruns, but not the first-run eps for some reason), but when I saw the episode description mention Goren having to deal with his mom while he's working a hot case, I changed channels. I love it when Bobby reveals personal details, and in this one, he ended the ep telling his new boss to fire him or not, he didn't care, and then stomped out. I'll be tuning into the next Goren/Eames ep to see how that resolves!

See, I've done dangerous things on the job that I didn't tell my mother about until the job was done and I was still alive, so...

But I guess that doesn't preclude you from wondering about me, too, huh.

OMG YES. I am in that hell RIGHT NOW. Fffffuck is right.

Happily my friend D. and I are emailing Bender quotes back and forth, so that provides stifled giggle distraction.
