Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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

The other patient told the cleaning lady he needed someone to talk to. She backed away slowly. But now he's sleeping, having lied to get his meds (he kept dating he couldn't sleep, but I could hear snoring consistently).

And he keeps hushing people not speaking English.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My kitty kitty does not make noises (except for thee incessent meowing), but she drools in her sleep. Which is gross when she is sleeping on me.

He also groans like an old man in his sleep or when he's settling.

Oh my. The old man noises. They are legendary around here.

Because books.

The funny thing is, bonny, he's just two.

Oh yes, "old man" refers only to the quality of the sound, not the age of the maker. Bboy started with the grumbling relaxation years ago.

It just makes him sound like a cranky geezer.

I have no idea what that noise actually means. It doesn't sound like pain, or creakiness.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Kato doesn't really do the old-man grumble thing, but he has a world-weary beleaguered sigh that would put any drama queen teenager to shame. It is hilarious. No one knows Kato's pain! It is SO HARD to be Kato! Goofy dog.

Anyway, we can work something out over email.

Sounds good!

How's your head?

Fine. Went to the doctor on Monday, and she put me on a week-long course of oral antibiotics, just to be safe, but it's healing well.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Okay, so I watched the pilot eps of the two new fairy tale series:

"Once Upon a Time" on ABC and "Grimm" on NBC.

OUAT is decent and I think I will commit to the first 4 eps to see how it shakes out. It is entertaining and the production values (at least for the pilot) are pretty good, so we will see.

Grimm - not very good. At all. Unfortunately, I would put this in the category of "pretty terrible." The acting was bad, the direction was poor, and the writing - the tone shifted in the middle of the show. I'm not sure what happened with this pilot (was it network notes that fucked it up?)

It felt more like a bad SyFy movie than a viable series. I can't imagine anyone will watch this show past the pilot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm starting to feel bad for NBC.
