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.

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

Will they still charge if you use it as a credit card instead of debit w/ pin, I wonder?

Apparently so.

I use my card all the damn time. But it was time I was out of BofA anyway.

Someone just called asking for my late father, who passed away more than a decade ago. I told them "Shay can't be reached by phone. You would have to use an entirely different medium."

People, why can't I shake the tired today? I even took a nap. Like, two hours ago. And now I want another one. Admittedly I only ate pasta and drank coffee today. Is that why? Do I lack nourishment?

I believe you lack nourishment. I'm going to say protein in particular. Come to think of it, same here.

I just made a run to the store for baking staples, so now I feel like I should make something. Maybe polenta; I've never made my own before.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

This is random, but I have to share something a friend posted elsewhere:

Reason I gave son for why explosives would not be a good garden squirrel deterrent: They don't have a strong enough oral history.

So, if a painter was working in your house while you were not home, and went in your cupboard and drank a can of tomato juice, and didn't leave a note, would you be freaked out?

I am so over this painter. Yesterday he left the front door open when he left. Only an inch, but, really!
