We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay, tomorrow's Friday. (The week hasn't been bad, just kinda...sluggish)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Thursdays are a lot more awesome since I started telecommuting on Fridays.

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

I know it would make for very bad Spanish, but I totally saw a "su" before "primera vez" and that was not a pleasant shiver that went through my body.

Thursdays are a lot more awesome since I started telecommuting on Fridays.

Half of my Thursdays are Fridays, which makes the other half of my Thursdays kind of suck by comparison.

That Batman story was great. I liked the author's understated telling of the tale. And Lenny B. Robinson sounds like a fab guy.

The men in high heels story, also great. And this made laugh out loud:

...two best friends, Coy Barton, 24, and Mark Cramer, 25, who go out together as a duo dubbed Coma...

Why did I never think of partnering up with a bestie and going out as a titled duo when I was in my twenties? That would have been good times. I would have named us Fugue State.

We were a titled quartet. We were titled "Oh, them."

I was part of a threesome called the "Diego Desperados." And, yes, that was a threesome in all its meanings.

Because books.

I was part of a duo everyone called Frick and Frack.

See, I admire the intentional self naming there. Of a designated groups or pairings.

I did get "Jen and those guys," once and it was so funny and true in that moment and overheard by enough of "those guys" that it's still a running joke (our FB private little buddy group is titled "...and those guys."), but I had no agency there. It's just not the same. Missed opportunities, man.

I am Jen; this is Betty. Together, we are Fugue State. Dammit!
