Ooh, but Shonda would do something like that.
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Scandal: I'm kind of hoping that the president will die on the show. I don't really like his relationship with Olivia; she's a much stronger character when she's not with him.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I clearly need to watch Scandal soon.
I was supposed to go get my hair cut and the roots touched up, which was a bigger deal than normal, because it was going to be my first real post-chemo hair cut, but the stylist screwed up the color the first time, and fixing it took so long that there wasn't time for the haircut, so I guess that will be next week.

I went to the funeral today of my friend's mom. I only see him every couple of years and we aren't very good about keeping in touch in the meantime. But everytime I see him, I then miss him terribly. I realized today that it's partly because he's one of my few close male friends and I am missing that male energy in my life.

Seven people —including four teenagers— were wounded in separate shootings since Friday afternoon throughout the city.
Tribune was reporting 10 shot, btw.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Bummer, Lee.
I adore Scandal. It's like delicious candy tv to me. Except I think I talked my Stepmom into watching and now it's totally full of sex scenes. Hello, slightly awkward.

26 Moments That Restored Our Faith in Humanity This YearThanks for that zuisa. I took a lot of time with that page. I think I needed it.
I'm sneaking in after a 3700 post absence. Life. It's in the way.
I'm loving Scandal.
When the big reveal came at the end of the shooting episode, I _may_ have uttered a motherly, deeply disappointed, "Oh, honey, NOOO" right out loud.
This last episode was even more uncomfortable, though I have to say that I called what was going to happen with the family pretty much the instant the Big Bad was named. Predictable, but still shocking.
I haven't seen the preview for next time, so now I'm worried.
Off to youtube.

Really? I've been avoiding the news. So sad.
I'm appreciative of my facebook feed, believe it or not, for the measured, thoughtful responses and the links to useful things I would not otherwise find. I have successfully crafted my friends list to exclude "You won't take my guns..." thinkers.
There was, however, a post from a friend of a friend with something so utterly, brain 'splodingly stupid...ie, what if shootings like this were staged to lull citizens into handing over their guns...that I very nearly broke my rule about not being an idiot on the internet. So. Close.

I don't think that shootings in Chicago get reported nationally. Not unless the number is particularly excessive, and for Chicago, ten people per day being wounded or killed isn't excessive.
I'm in favor of more gun control.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

That probably wasn't news outside of Chicago.
