Let me find you some cute T-Hard.
Wow, that totally gave me the feelings! Good stuff for the morning, indeed.
I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
In the last apartment we lived in, the apartment next to us was connected to a bedroom downstairs, and the staircase was right next to our kitchen (just outside our bedroom), separated from us by the thinnest of walls. The neighbors themselves? An unspecified number of 18/19-year-old boys, students at the local college, whose friends were constantly coming over to hang out, play video games, watch sports, smoke pot, and run up and down the stairs all night long.
Man, I don't miss them at all.

Yeah, lisah, I feel you. I posted to facebook, but in case you haven't gone there: once you get the doors open run a candle/bar of soap along the edges. It helps SO MUCH.
But NSM with the flooding. Sump pump or french drains for that, neither cheap. When I finally decide to finish the basement (in, oh, 20 years) I'll do both.
I keep getting more pissed off every time I think of the carjacking. I keep wondering, what was I doing then? Could I have looked out and seen something? But the thing is, I mostly monitor the back unless I hear weird noises out front or a neighbor calls me to ask me to watch for them. I just have more angles back there, with the deck being unreachable.
And I have yelled off creepers in the alley.
But tonight I noticed a LOT of folks eating dinner out on their porches and just generally hanging out and chatting. I know from a couple of them it was a deliberate show.

Because books.

That's a really good idea. I mean, the nude pervert in the alley freaked me out, but that's a one-time kind of thing/person. If people were getting carjacked in this neighborhood, I would be off the wall with LET'S TAKE CARE OF THIS.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Couple more for you there, Jesse. I got your back.

Allyson, this Top Chef is adorable. GAIL is all aflutter over Horowitz.

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

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
DAWN!!! New Skulduggery Pleasant! READ IT so I can geeble with you! There's A Thing. And then holy shit, Another Thing. And something that actually made me close the book and flap my hands for a minute.
SERIOUSLY.

Erik wants to sit out on his porch at the top of the street with his grandaddy's shotgun. His wife has persuaded him otherwise. Which I think is wise.
