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.

Because books.

People like that just astound me. It's not like the girl accidentally lobbed the asparagus *at* the woman. The entitlement is so obscene.

Hey, sara, they were doing rowhouses in Baltimore tonight on House Hunters! (Like bon, I watch way too much HGTV.) I think they were in the Canton neighborhood?

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

Is there such a thing as too much HGTV? That would be like saying I read too much fic.

Tangentially, I just added SportsNight and Sherlock to my reading list. It's a big world out there.

I am at my parents. My power was out, the buses were running, and I decided that I may as well come tonight as tomorrow. We were chasing the storm the whole way, so once it was dark we drove through a lot of places without power. Which was kind of eerie.

I am going a little crazy not knowing if power is back at my place or not. Our utility has a outage map, but most of halifax is out, and it's reporting isn't 100% accurate. It was saying the power was out in my neighborhood earlier, when I did have power. So it is now saying the power is restored, but I don't know if I should believe it. I may have a lot of food to throw out on Tuesday.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Wow, sarameg. Yeah, those people sound like utter shitheads.

There's a SportsNight book?

I hope your power goes back on soon, Sue.

I could, and sometimes do, watch HGTV, or have it on in the background, all day. I have a bit of a crush on Genevieve Gorder, too.

Ugh, Sue. I hope the storm passes soon, and your power comes back even sooner. I will say that I know it's a typo, but I like "decoded" instead of plain old "decided". It's all stealthy and mysterious.

As I am...not.

The power outages map and twitter feed makes me think that my power is on, but I won't know until I get back on Tuesday and ask a neighbor how long it was out. It's a little crazymaking.

Do you have an answering machine, Sue?

South of me on the waterfront. Huge gentrification area many years in. I wonder if it was the same program who my realtor suggested me to but I demurred a year ago? (No desire to be on reality tv...) It was something about the homebuying experience, and she was all "you are the perfect person for this. You had a crazy amazing fit and process. " This, while I was in Bhutan. It was surreal.

No, it's a fic. Long AU slash, nice and teasy and then smutty. Thumbs up, A--, would read again.

No, I used telco provided voicemail.

I could keep schedulling shows on the TiVo online and see if they come back as received on the TiVo.
