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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

NOOOOOO!

Not Danny and Rhea! That's sad. I remember them from Taxi.

Gudanov, Gunnar is adorable.

Me, I have today off, so I went for a long run in the hills (during which I didn't walk or stop at all, so go me), and now I'm going to get my oil changed and buy groceries and linens. I love extra-long weekends: I ran 4 times in the last five days!

Today's run was sufficiently long that I lost .8lbs during it, according to my (not very accurate) scale.

AND I have brownies!

Because books.

Hasn't he been drinking recently, though? Wasn't there a talk show where he showed up drunk?

I want a dog. Not possible right now, though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Cute doggies, Gud!

Ever notice how any explanation longer than a sentence is dismissed impatiently by some people, as if they think once you've exceeded their attention span, you're just making up some elaborate excuse like you're in a wacky sitcom or you're seven?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

There's your problem right there! Most significant issues cannot be summed up in a sentence.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Danny Devito and Rhea Perlman are separating.

Fuck! That's disappointing.

hivemind: in health insurance, does what I pay to meet my deductible count towards my out-of-pocket total?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I have actually had a high enough dollar amount of medical expenditures this year (between chiropracting for my hips and my ridiculous dental saga) that I'm going to be able to take a deduction on my taxes. That has never happened before. Not even when I had freaking back surgery. (Although that was more likely a function of how good my insurance was back then, and how much it covered.)
