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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

...and now there's a whopping big thunderstorm. Awesome.

I have cats, but no benzodiazepines. I also have a dog who could use some benzodiazepines right now. Frankie doesn't like the thunder so much.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was thinking about your industry, Jesse, so I wasn't sure! I mean, someone has to know those women. Sadly.

My friend who did events for the ASPCA definitely knew them! Yikes.

I think sometimes TV is better when you can watch 5 episodes in a day.

Oh yeah. When I did the re-watch of West Wing, watching two a day, I didn't really notice when it got "bad."

Goddamn, y'all. My car just flooded. NO ONE TOLD ME MY CAR COULD FLOOD DURING A SIMPLE THUNDERSTORM. I just drove around in my pjs in a panic, looking for higher ground (hint: there isn't any, really) and waiting for the rain to lessen. I ended up parking a few blocks away from my house.

Good thing I didn't buy that nail polish, because I am sure as shit buying rain boots today.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, damn, smonster! My car flooded in NJ once. I think it was because the vents on the hood got blocked with leaves and... something. You gotta dry it out or it'll smell like feet forever, man.

Ooh! I was just thinking I'd like to take Friday off, except I have a meeting with my VP, when the meeting got changed to Thursday! Hmmmmm.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Help! My intestines seem to be trying to escape. Also I have hives.

I am back at work-- is this related?

Art Crawl!!!

I have to say - the heat combined with the lack of a/c and death of my computer make me happy to be in the office today.

Caracal kittens!

I love caracals. I petted some kittens at the Carnivore Preservation Trust, years ago (now under a different name, and with stricter policies about handling animals) [link]

Dude. I had all kinds of errands to run today, but it is just pouring here. The street flooding seems to have subsided a bit in my hood and it's not thundering anymore, but it is a steady, heavy rain.

I do not want to be here.

If I forward a letter to you with a comment and you email me back asking for the contact information for the person who sent the letter, who is the stupid person here?
