All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

We want him to discourage people from taking part in dog-fighting. I can do it until I'm blue in the face and it might not convince anybody. Michael Vick sure can.

I think it will only glorify him to put him in ads or on talk shows or to let him get paid to play a game again. If you want to discourage cruelty toward animals, show that this wealthy football player turned into a ex-con minimum-wage schmo because of it.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

We're at Wicked and it occurred to me that John Barrowman could so totally own the role of Fiyero.

Yes!

We should start a campaign.

Shir, new born cousin? Also cool! Noam is an adorable name.

She's adorable. [link]

I approve John Barrowman to anything and anyone.

Also, connie, OMG. Your supervisor is such an asshole. What's next? Monitoring your breathing, because you might release more CO2 "more than other people" to the air?

So far my Saturday has been enlivened by a toilet overflowing. But, as a consequence, the bathroom floor has been thoroughly mopped -- twice, with Lysol -- by me and should now be barefoot safe. Except that I'll also have to scrub out the bathtub.

Right about now I really wish my Mom could come over and Make It All Better.

Rough morning, Theo.

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

I can't believe they're doing construction on a weekend morning. And they started way too close to 8 for it to be polite.

Holy shit, it's mobbed here at the Derby party. I don't know if I'm going to make it to the start of the race without having a panic attack.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You can make it, Tom!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You can go outside and talk to the smokers.

Wahoo! Just got word from the IRS that I'd miscalculated my taxes, and they owe me $500 more than I expected!
