Only slightly apropos of the discussion of various soap operas:
Soap operas (and especially DOOL) as metaphor for evolution. [link]
The author is having fun, but is also dead serious, and I think he makes a good case
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wonder if they decided on all Navid's details at once. Though Persian Jews are fairly common in my neighbourhood, which is kinda near theirs, and porn producers are a dime a dozen over the hill.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yeah, LA has the biggest Persian Jewish community in the country. I'm just not sure how many of them have those huge traditional families living off their porn proceeds.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, Matt, I won't give up yet.

I swear, TV's standard boy's bedroom involves blue plaid. Why never green?

I remembered errands that needed running, so still no pedi. I may just paint them myself and be done.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Punishingly Intricate
I think in MD, you need a buyer's agent. Or at least a legal rep of some sort. It's been a while since I took a homebuying class, but even if not, I totally wouldn't do this without professional.
I just had a lawyer which worked out fine because I found the house myself.
That's funny about that pink house, Sara, I was walking by there with Bob not 1/2 an hour ago and telling him about how it's been on the market forever and about the crazy hoarding (stuff & pets) lady that used to live there. I used to walk Frank up there all the time and I had to cross the street because there were dogs loose in her yard and it stunk to high heaven. I think they were selling it with the intention that whoever bought it would tear the building down but it looks like they've fixed up the house some. I think it's been on the market for like 3 years.
We also walked by the place you posted about on 38th St. and it is teeny. but it is a good street, so.
