Meanwhile, in "Good god, how annoying ARE these people?" news, last night the GILF's partner R was flirting with me (though he tends to be fairly quiet and laid back), and somehow said something along the lines of "well the question's never been asked" (ie I've never asked him to have sex with me). I was like "Sweetie, it's been asked and answered. YOU asked. I answered. MONTHS ago. YOU SAID "Will you have sex with me?" and I said "YES""
And he was like "What??" and tried to deny ever saying anything of the sort. And acted like I was delusional and crazy. I was like "Dude. It was like, February. We were at the Century. You kissed me." And he claims to not remember a damn thing about it.
I'm so annoyed by the whole thing--fine, whatever, you were so fucking drunk you don't even remember it? That's annoying enough. You want to PRETEND you were so drunk you don't remember it? Even more annoying. But to then act like I'm some kind of psycho who's wishfully IMAGINING that you asked me to fuck you? Yeah, GO FUCK YOURSELF. I'm not holding my breath for the last six months, for you OR Grandma, OK? Damn.

Ugh-- oh meara, what a MAROON. Jeebus.
And while the husband date itself was lovely, the being woken up a 5:15 by Jasmine who'd decided it was a grand time to want to be let outside so she could cavort in the sprinklers was not so much with the lovely.
wtf is up with Lynn Johnston? "For Better or For Worse" seems gratuitously cruel today.
I think I read that she's ending the strip soon.
Speaking of questionable journalism: when did Lake Michigan become a sea?
Oh, that's sad, but not beyond things she's done before.
My aunt fell in the shower the morning of her son's wedding this past March. She had surgery the morning of the wedding and was at the wedding doped on pain killers, bless her heart. I've always liked how Lynn Johnston really captures real life.

Calling JenK or Barb or someone who knows Spanish. What's "Spring Training" in Spanish?
OK, Lynn Johnson isn't ending the strip, she's rebooting it: [link]
[edit: and here's a YouTube interview with her: [link] ]
Eh, better to just end it, I think.
I've always had a weird relationship with that strip. Me and Elizabeth are around the same age and we have the same name. When Farley died my Dad called me to ask if I'd read the strip yet and we cried together (OK maybe I was the only one actually crying but Dad was upset). I've never gone back and read from the beginning so I'm looking forward to seeing her blend in the earlier strips next month.
Mom pointed out that it is very common for people with health problems to take a turn for the worse on big days like weddings so even though I'm mad at Ms. Johnston for going that way, I can't say it's unrealistic.
