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.

Punishingly Intricate

I guess I was wondering if there was some sort of "Gosh, this happened to me and I don't know if it also happened to you, be aware" kind of thing, where then possibly the guilty party might be like "So sorry".

I think you could totally approach your neighbors this way.

Baltimore is still pretty segregated. Not surprising but still kind of shocking to see in a graphical way like that.

ION, a new Teddy Roosevelt themed restaurant just opened in town tonight. And we celebrated the birthday of my friend, a huge TR fan, there. I don't really understand why Teddy Roosevelt. I mean, he was cool but what food do you associate with him? Meat? Anyway, food was good and it was good times.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

But close in Western US terms, not in Ohio terms, necessarily.

Ha, true.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I mean, he was cool but what food do you associate with him?

Bear. But I find it vaguely sad, not appetizing. Like the Supernatural teddy bear that drank, watched porn and was really distraught. That wasn't a happy life.

Why, oh why am I still awake?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Suzi, I was just asking myself the same question. I think the answer may be, "To discover this video." (NSFW due to language and rude gestures) [link]

And thanks for sharing that vid.

I was exhausted 3 hours ago and yet have had racing brain since I tried to go to sleep. Now I have that song echoing in my head. Will make any dreams really interesting, I expect.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought "WTF is a Teddy Roosevelt themed restaurant??"

Went dancing, had a great time-- two really excellent leads, women who don't come to dancing often, were both there, plus one has a guy friend who used to compete in dance, and he was fabulous to dance with too (and complimented me!)

But I am so so sweaty. Ew. Hate that part. But such a good workout that doesn't feel at all like one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, smonster, that video is perfect.

Good luck, Cashmere! Think hard? Figure well?
