Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I'm reaffirming my decision to make my cats indoor cats. Bad enough if vermin get in, I get gifts. No need for free range.

I got insane and installed my bedroom a/c. I had one scary moment. And lots of bruises. And one visit to the basement to flip a circuit. I think I may have the electrician back for dedicated lines....

Also? Go Hil!

Top Gun is on TV. This is a ridiculous movie, but I love it.

Val Kilmer and Rick Rossovich were Very Pretty.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am currently fascinated by Walmart's advertising vs. their PR. The other day, my coworker was telling me that they have all of this new cute stuff, really cheap. Then I noticed that their clothes are all over this month's Oprah magazine. But their TV ads are still all about paying less for groceries and whatnot.

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

Why is my fruit yoghurt so damned sweet? I need to pace myself with water.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I tend to buy fruit on the bottom yogurt and then don't mix. I don't get the too sweet thing either.

I usually have yogurt at lunch, and I buy big containers of plain yogurt and put some of it in a little container with frozen fruit and a little bit of sugar the night before, and then the fruit has thawed by the time I eat it.

That's why I like Fage-- the Greek yogurt is a bit tarter and if you get it with fruit, it's on the side, so you can moderate.

AUGH-- Sudafed strikes again.

How many shower scenes does this movie have, anyway? Also, I'm nearly certain that they cut out the beach volleyball scene.

I found Grace of My Heart on a cable channel-- one that pauses for commercials every five minutes, it seems like. Good thing I have the DVD. I may have to watch it tomorrow.

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

Last few times I had Greek yoghurt it made me headachey for some reason I can't fathom.

I bought three different brands of peach yoghurt to test, and I'm scared of the last one, the store brand. It's a bigger tub than the rest, but it's 36 or so g or sugar. I could go into sugar shock.

I'm nearly certain that they cut out the beach volleyball scene.

So many girls attained puberty during that scene. It would be a crime to excise it.
