Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Oh dear. It appears that I should have called my mother last night, which I had intended to do but forgot until it was too late. I got an "I HOPE YOU'RE NOT DEAD" e-mail.

I got an "I HOPE YOU'RE NOT DEAD" e-mail.

My mother tends to go for the "Did you forget you have a mother" voicemail.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Is there any particular reason you would have died over the weekend?

My dad's SAR had a local journalist tag along on a mock mission! [link]

I guess she heard about the El crash last week. (Green Line derailed. I have never been on the Green Line.) My mom doesn't call me as often as she wants because she thinks she's intruding, which I think is stupid. But hey. Moms.

I don't like to use pesticides, because wasps are usually good guys in the insect world, but if you have a nest near children I'd be inclined towards killing them. I don't seem to have any wasp and bee allergies, so I usually just leave wasps or, if they're in a place that puts them way too close to people, I whack the nest in the middle of the day with a stick. Then they have to rebuild, and sometimes they go elsewhere.

One Quattro Stagione on a thin crust to go, please, Maria.

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

Had I gone with that one, can you see what I mean?

Yes, but I see the two examples as radically different--can you explain why they are similar? How about a definition where a neurosis can be stimulus for a compulsion? I mean, the compulsion are the tasks you execute to relieve the distress caused by the neurosis?

My mother tends to go for the "Did you forget you have a mother" voicemail.

I get that one too.
