Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I wrote the rent check, I signed my timesheet, I went to the ATM, I got some ointment for my poor toe, I have a boarding pass, I finished all the edits I needed to make, and have the code ready for the edits I need to make first thing on Tuesday.

I guess all I have to do now is get to the airport.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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

Damn. She's in her 40s. Wait so is she. I guess someone has to look good to even out the prematurely aged kidlets: Richie, Lohan, Olsen², etc.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think they both look their age. Not in a bad way, obviously!

Now tagless for your comfort.

I saw those shots of Elle yesterday, ita. She's aging VERY well.
