It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think morning wins the evilness contest.

Let me ask you one question: did you go to bed when you should have? Or did shiny, intriguing things keep you up late?

I'm not yet certain morning is to blame.

Ummm... ummm... mom! David's using logic on me again!

(I had almost 6 hours of sleep. That's enough for the sort of schedule I'm having now. Planned to have almost 7).

Besides, kinnda awake now.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm still awake. Probably going to bed soon, I think.

They just turned the heater on in my building, and my apartment is way too hot now. But if I open a window, it'll get too cold.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Oh, the ancient dilemma. Open window for 5-10 minutes, close it and wear a short sleeve shirt?

I turned on a fan. It's helping some.

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

Huh. Watching Brothers & Sisters In Love on BBC America. Judgey judgey judgey. All the couples they meet with met as adults, but I'm still ultra-squicked.

The German couple especially--she got pregnant four times in four years, and they just kept taking the kids away. I think they took the first two about the same time (just after the second was born), and the third as soon as it was born. So far the mother (dad's in jail for incest--how unfair is that?) has custody of the fourth, but they're being supervised. Wait, no, the epilogue text says she left him for someone she's not relatetd to, and is pregnant again. While he's in jail.

The American couple I judge because they say the government has no right to intrude on what goes on in their house and that the Constitution promises them the pursuit of happiness. You pretty much don't need a legal system at that point, do you? Both those assertions do need to be qualified.

There was a bonus mother/son couple in it, but I don't want to think on that too much. They would be unhealthy even if they weren't related.

Better than last time I posted about my head, that's for sure.

If only I could fall asleep.
