No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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

I bet all the other brides have already started their weather machines.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, for five bucks you can at least consult the Farmer's Almanac. [link]

ION, I was out of the office all day, and only got 12 emails (including a few brief responses to one, and a few spams). I feel like I just won a prize.

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

The prize of no one loving you?

They love me enough not to email me with bullshit when I'm not there!

See that over there, Jesse?

That's the loop.

You're not in it.

Only slightly relatedly, I have a question to ask an impatient person, and I know it's something he's explained to me before. It's just that back then, I wasn't ready to process it. Now is good. But first I have to read my entire emailbox to find out if it's answered anywhere there. And his spelling of the key term sucks.

Unrelatedly, totally, that new power they just clarified in this week's Heroes is my favourite EVER. And if you watched it you know exactly the one I mean.

Pish tosh. I AM the loop.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

The cowgirl Loop?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

You know, can't there be an anti-scumoftheearth law so we can just hold people like Joe Francis in jail forever? Seriously. Isn't the world just a little bit nicer without him walking free?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Just did the chase-Luna-down to give her meds. Doesn't help that G's out of town until tomorrow.

I feel your pain. I don't have to chase down the cat, but I'm spattered with flagyl and cat spit now.

My habit of keeping a lot of my email is getting untenable. I mean, it's great to be able to go look stuff up, but it's also to the point where stuff is getting lost. It's just there is so much info coming at me with the new job, and I need to keep it, since it isn't in my head yet and now I have paper notes telling me where to find emails. It's kind of wrong.
