Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

ION, I am drinking a blend of Chocolate Chip Truffle and Mandarin Rose tea, AIFG! This is entirely the House of Reason's fault. They have gotten me addicted to Mighty Leaf Tea, which is spendy but oh-so-good.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm having Constant Comment over ice with a splash of Newman's Own lemonade. It's delicious but the lemonade has high fructose corn syrup. Bad Paul Newman!

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

Thanks. Kat. The scrub looks appealing.

I want a way to spread cream cheese flavour throughout a bowl of popcorn. What do I use as an extender?

Cream cheese in a can!

No problem, ita.

We just saw Horton Hears a Who. Not the best movie in the world. And we went without kids. There were lots of Dads alone with kids at the theater. Saturdays are a big Dads-Day-Out With kids.

Aiieeefuck. Friend's stepson is spiraling. Her heart is breaking. I want to grab him by the neck and shake some sense into him. Arrested for pot possession. Told her she wasn't his mom (she's been the only motherly figure in his life for the past 8 years, and before that, his biomother essentially abandoned him. And she's been a goddamned good mom, he's just been making atrocious choices.) Kids? Know where to cut.

I really want to knock some sense into him. He's got so much potential, and yet so much hurt. I just want... Hope is a bitch.

Yes. Humans are awful that way. It really makes you wonder how much you can do, if it's worth keeping trying, how engaged you can usefully be.

Of course I know I won't bother to get off my ass and get the spa treatment. Inertia plus that whole upcoming joblessness thing.

Today was just a waste. Dragged myself to therapy and could barely stay awake, and from there to massage, and definitely didn't stay awake there. God, I'm spent.
