'Out Of Gas'
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.
Yeah.
It gets more complicated (for me) as I had asked the g-grandmother to watch Devi while I'm gone.
I trust her with that. I don't know how she'll react to my involvement in all this. Not so sure about the grandfather's presence. May punt and end up asking T and her dad.
Ggm and her sister are ...um...put it this way...I'm pretty certain from things they've said that they've been abused by the men in their families. But they wouldn't call it that. So.
THIS IS WHY I'M A HERMIT.
PEOPLE ARE MESSY.
ION, however, I wish I had thought of this: [link] Werner Herzog or Charles Barkley?Oh dear... Now I off reading Barkley quotes. I blame the fact that he and I got to Phoenix at the same time, but I do like the idiot. And he never gave a boring interview.
Oy, sarameg. I hope the drink is helping ease the after effects of the drama.
In completely random news, I'm watching TDS, and his guest is Matt Groening(sp?), but somehow, in my mind, I was expecting the blond South Park guy, so when a man who has, say, fifteen years on him walked out, I was VERY concerned for his health. And then I realized, Simpsons. Not South Park. I think this means I'm past my bedtime. Hope I wasn't supposed to wf TDS guests.
It's got to be frustrating being intellectually five or six and linguistically, what, two?
And it seems like that might spiral if he got frustrated or was tired.
Well, courtesy of a drink and losing half my dinner due to post-nasal drip, I'm now quite a bit drunk.
People need to abide by my wishes for them to follow my rules. DAMNIT.
But some nights we go from laughing hugging mac to yelling mac 5-6 times from 6pm to 9pm.
Poor youse. It's hard on him, I'm sure, to process all the ways in which you've changed his life, nevermind all the ways in which he's changing yours (that part won't register for another, what?, 15 to 20 years or so). Yeah, he's acting out a bit, boundary testing--so what? He'll work it through eventually.
And sarameg, YEEKS!
Yikes, Sarameg.
ita, I'm supposed to tell you that G. is not evil, or maybe that he is but you should take him up on it anyway. Something with the word evil anyway.
He only tortured Turks; his own people apparently loved him.
I've read that during his reigns (3 separate ones of 8 years total), he killed off approximately 10% of the population of his own country. A laundry list of his atrocities can be found here: [link]
