Fuuuuuck. There is so much wrong with my car (and I was right: snapped clutch cable. That's the cheap part.) I have not attained quite Kristen's repair bill, but close. And it probably won't be ready for ANOTHER day.
We're taking a moment ... and we're done.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
five days of working??
Yeah, it doesn't seem right.
Ugh, sara. Sorry to hear about all the car woes.
I have a spoiler question: when is a spoiler no longer a spoiler? How long after a movie is in general release do you figure it's okay to talk about who killed who or whatever without using the word "spoiler" to warn people away? I'm fuzzy on the deets, but I figure after 1 year, it's on me to not click on links about movies I don't want to know plot details about, at the outside.

Good question. I don't know. But I'm pretty sure it's OK to tell people Rosebud is a sled.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I get bummed out when I learn things before I see the movie sometimes, but it really is on me. As long as the person isn't doing like my mother, who is always like, "Oh, you just started reading the next book in that series? The one where the main character dies??" OMG MOM I DID NOT KNOW THE MAIN CHARACTER DIES BECAUSE I HAVE NOT READ IT YET AS I MENTIONED.

Coding and Sleeping
Always fun.
Yeah, my wife is getting annoyed at the squirrels getting into her bird feeders, so she wants to bait the trebuchet and fling the squirrels out of the yard. I don't know that it will actually help, but I suppose it's cathartic.

Ha, yeah, my mom does that too. "I haven't seen this movie; do you want to see it? Or did you see it?" "Oh, I think I saw that one; isn't that where he's on the run and then the bad guy is the one person he trusted most of all?"
I will never forgive Peanuts for spoiling Citizen Kane for me.
