Ugh, you guys -- I am so excited to go home and watch tv! It is sad. But I haven't seen any of my shows this week! I still have the new Inspector Lewis waiting for me! Never mind So You Think You Can Dance.
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So the moral of the story is, "Large bodies of water are awesome! Also, don't drown."
Agreed!
I love ocean and big lakes and forest. Less mountains and deserts not at all. Ironically that I live in a desert and I've moved to the mountains therein.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think that LA is technically semi-desert, and the distinction is a big one for me, because as much as I liked Tucson, it made me edgy. This is as dry as I can get, but in Tucson I was side-eyeing fountains in a way I can almost let slide here (almost--in Arizona I also wanted to cover my glass of water so nature wouldn't steal it from me).
Basically I'd prefer the tropics, but I just don't love the Miami the way I like this city. And being this close to the ocean helps a fair amount too. Might not be drinking water, but at least it's fluid.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Why does the shortest distance to equality seem to involve a great deal of raped men?
Or that it would be awesomesauce to send Tosh to prison so he could be raped?
THE POINT. U R MISSING IT. (Commentors elseweb, not here.)

Because books.
When we lived in Wyoming, I missed trees so much. And grass, and the general sense of lush foliage everywhere, I guess. Where I live now is very right for me, although I also feel right at home at the beach. I could live at the beach.

I keep thinking of that fanfiction that is about Josh Jackson, Kristen Bell, and Jason Dohring rescuing katie Holmes from the Scientologists. And it is starting to sound more true-to-life!

Prison rape is the great equalizer. Never happened to anyone that didn't clearly deserve it, and it's always funny to boot! Anal twofer! (I'm assuming they still butt rape in women's prisons, because why mess with magic?)
SEE???? RAPE JOKE.
But I'm not on stage and you can't find me.

I believe the Carlin rape joke is something to the effect of "picture Donald Duck raping Porky Pig," which is kind of chuckle worthy to me.

"picture Donald Duck raping Porky Pig,"
Hmm. I'm totally failing on this one. Someone care to ruin it for me by spelling it out? Are we supposed to have a realistic duck penis here? Because that might be my issue.

I don't know that it's worth the effort to dissect. That would probably require more thought than even Carlin gave it.
