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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm so sorry, sarameg. Kinda glad you have m-f paint to strip.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You're right, Tep. (I see what you did there) But he deserves a blanket heckling.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Two dates, two heckles. Seems fair to me.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I started moving these: [link] from the garage to the front yard. They are 25lbs each and I only managed to move 6 before dripping in sweat. At least it's a start, but is less than half of what is in the garage and I am going to have to buy more to do what I want.

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

Watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Is everyone meant to be entirely unlikeable? Did I miss a genre announcement where you have to wait until the end of the movie for the protagonist to have enough of a revelation for you to not hate them anymore?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, yeah! Jeez. That's a lot of weight! And distance. Do you have a wheelbarrow or anything?

I have a kid's play wheelbarrow, but it's worse. AT least I walked them through the house which is a shorter distance than around the yard in a wheelbarrow would be. I do need some sort of garden cart thing though.

Red flyer wagon?

Russell Brand's character was totally likeable if you overlook the herpes and chlamydia.

oh, I think this: [link] that magic word ergonomic and it won't take up half my garage. Adding it to wishlist now.
