If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

So uh, Mel Gibson?

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

I have a Criminal Minds question (spoilers through Episode 5x9): when the Reaper killed Haley, did people see that as fridging Haley? It hadn't occurred to me to see it that way, until someone on my friends' list commented on it, but I think that's mostly because Haley was barely on the show, and never had much of a function other than Hodge's wife.

Which doesn't make it not a fridging, but somehow set it outside of that for me.

Hmm. Yeah, she wasn't a character you were really invested in. (Though I don't know that she wasn't intended/expected to be.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

OK, this is crazy good fun.

I just bought way too many Lady Gaga songs. But she's got an excellent beat for my walking mix, and since the pool is closed Sunday, I figured I'd do a 6 miler and needed to freshen up the mix so I really crank it. I plan to be painfully sore Monday (this is not a leisurely walk. This is just short of a run. For all the times I laughed at the racewalkers, I am sorry -except for the Olympic ones. Those look goofy-because I'm soaked in sweat by the first mile.)

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

Perkins, I didn't think of it until someone else mentioned it either, and no, I don't think of it that way. I see her as collateral damage, and not all female collateral damage is merely fridging. She was a casualty of his job, but they haven't really even exploited the manpain as much as they could have.

That's pretty much how I saw it too, Brenda and ita.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, can you freeze ham?


sarameg - Apr 02, 2010 5:06:36 pm PDT #20562 of 30001

We always have.

I don't know why I started wondering -- I freeze every other kind of cured meat! Maybe I will be an on-sale Easter ham after all.
