Oh huh -- I can't seem to get any of the HD channels. I swear to god, I am drowning in first-world problems this week.
Mal: Okay. She won't be winning any beauty contests anytime soon. But she is solid. Ship like this, be with ya 'til the day you die. Zoe: 'Cause it's a deathtrap.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay painting Allyson!
And oh fuck. Just got an update from my friend. Her stepson ran away this morning. Last call originated from the number of a known dealer. Local police can't do anything without a warrant, but friend has connections who can do a trace at which point the locals can act, based on parent-provided info. Not sure of the legality of all that, but whatever. Not sure what they should do once (!) they get him home. He's angry at the world, and has 3 convenient targets. And he's working them. I'd be angry at him, but..I'm not. Angry he's doing this, sure. But. He's a hurting kid, a kid who has been hurt, making a fuckload of bad decisions but I'm not prepared to see him as iredeemable. Damnit.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Is anyone else watching this TV movie with Marlee Matlin? They just cut in for a weather report, and I missed what seemed like a pretty critical scene.

I hate Hallmark. They totally make me cry.

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

I just saw the section on the site where you can submit your own design, and if they like it, they'll use it, give you one of your own, and then give you 50% of the profits if any more sell. I MUST HAVE SWIRLY BATS ON MY WALLS.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Also, these weird symbols. Swirly bats, I guess. On a wall... and on flesh. A tattoo, and — t /Cordelia

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ooh, Allyson, that's hella cool, I love the design.
Of course, having just gone on a Wallace and Gromit binge for the kids' sakes (yeah sure, that's what they all say), my reaction to Jilli's suggestion was to wiggle my fists together and say "swiiirly bats!"
