ita, I had the same reaction. It was a toss-up whether I'd finish it or not (I did, eventually).
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The recipe called for cumin, tumeric, and cayenne, so I just put in chili powder, and am hoping for the best. I am not sure this is going to be good.
Ha! Any time someone mentions cumin, I think of the time my friend was making cheese enchiladas, and the recipe called for so many tablespoons of cumin, and she accidentally used cayenne pepper. So the enchiladas came out super-spicy, and I was the only one who could handle it, so I got dinner for a few days.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I thought I would feel that way about Lars, but ended up really liking it.

Crap - I just ran out of checks! I write them so rarely I just wasn't paying attention.

Huh, so I just made up a fake car to get an online quote from Progressive and insuring even a really cheap car in Brooklyn would be almost $2000/year. I don't think I do enough driving for that.
Having a car is not cheap. If you don't need it to commute regularly, it is almost always cheaper to rent one when you need it. Plus, no maintenance issues!

I just realized I'm almost out too. I need to order some more. My checks are four years old, from when I first moved out here.

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

It left me entirely cold. I just didn't buy everyone's reactions. Couldn't connect with or sympathise with or cheer for a soul.
I have a million cheques. I ordered a new batch by mistake when I was 3/4 of the way through my last batch. Oops. Ah, well. My Batman goodness will last even longer.
Normally I don't wonder what my cheques make people think of me, but for my direct deposit setup with my contracting company they wanted a blank. Maybe they didn't look. I miss my JLA cheques, but the bank doesn't offer them anymore. It was nice to write a Wonder Woman cheque every now and again. But all Batman all the time isn't bad.

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

I found the kindness of so many people to be really touching.

I think I've outed myself as failing on this front before. I don't even remember what the previous movie was. But in this one I didn't think they were right. Or realistic.
No magic for me!
