Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Because books.

Oh man, I loved Murder One. I forgot all about that show.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ION, I'm pretty sure my new coworker is still doing her old job, given the phone conversations I can hear her having....

There was, Watching Ellie, the Julia Louis Dreyfus show that was real-time with the clock in the corner....or at least at first. [link]

It didn't last long.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Steph--I've just realised there will be two white people at my sister's birthday thing. Extra rope corset opportunity, since I'm assuming being male doesn't dampen the racial inevitability of the compulsion, right?

Nah, white dudes all want to wear rope corsets, too. It's a white thang.

So basically to be white and get into the clique, you gotta have a dick and use it.

Wait, now. That means I can't get into the clique, even if I tie cool-ass rope corsets. Curse my penis-less-ness!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Since we're talking social media...

I'm seeing a new rash of those "I'm cleaning out my friends list - answer yes or no if you still want to be included" things going around. Am I alone in finding those annoying and really kind of off-putting?

I'm cranky today, so. But I don't friend people I don't know, and if I didn't want to see your updates, I already wouldn't be. So don't make it about me validating my interest, okay?

Not to mention that with all of FB's wacky algorithms, you never know who sees what. So if you're really defriending people on this basis, I hope your sister-in-law or whoever doesn't take it personally.

The Killing took twelve and a half years to cover about three weeks of real time.

Okay, two seasons. But it seemed a lot longer.

Ben just had sushi for the first time with a friend and liked it. Lee will be so proud.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Lost was one day per episode for a while. I believe The Killing stuck to that. There was a show in the 90s that was about a couple in early stages of courtship and the gimmick was supposed to be that the relationship would develop in "real time", which I think meant week-by-week not hour-by-hour, but it was one of those only in syndication shows that aired in my market at 2am on Tuesday or something and I don't think I got it in the correct order, even, so I don't know how that actually played out.

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

The Taye Diggs show where he did a groundhog day thing.

Daybreak! Good one. I say having no idea what ita_! is actually looking for, but I liked that show and enjoy being reminded of it.
