Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If you hear stuff popping in your ankle when you fall and you don't have ice packs because you don't do that shit any more and it's already swollen--do you check back in the morning?

Needless to say, there is pain, and I'm furious through the roof.

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

Hopefully this is way too late but I'd elevate them with a few pillows to sleep. Use gravity since the fucker clearly has no problem using me.

I don't know from Rob Kazinsky, but now that I know that Max Martini is in it, I'm tempted. Mmmm, scruffy ginger goodness.

Basically Burn Gorman and Ron Perlman are the only men in the movie that aren't drop dead gorgeous (and they're plenty compelling in other ways). But Kazinsky looks eerily like Party of Five-era Ben Browder, which means it took most of my willpower not to run up and lick the movie screen while he was on it.

I actually broke it. After an hour and a half of not sleeping, I said fuck it. It'll be refreshing going in for the other end of my body, and yes. I capped off a miserable day with a minor ankle bone break.

Apparently I'm to be on crutches for two weeks, but the procedure I had Thursday kinda contradicts that entirely. I haven't decided if leaving my bed is indicated. Let me go try it again now, after stocking the freezer appropriately.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh ita! If I ever said break a leg I take it back. That whole distracting pain on the other end thing may be good in theory, but ouch!!

I know it is easier said than done, but please make every effort to keep off of it and let it heal properly. I am so sorry this has been added to your already way too long list of stuff to deal with.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

ita_! much bone-healing~ma to you. I wish we had hoverchairs for you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh my god, ita! That was the last thing you need.

ION, my book club is doing The Great Gatsby this month, and I've never read it. So I just got it, and one page in I don't think I can deal with Nick. Should I stick with it or not bother?

In excellent news, my mother and I are getting our massages this afternoon.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Well that's just an uncalled for addition to the suck. I'm sorry, ita.

I have a few friends lined up to see the perseids around 2am tomorrow, but it looks like we might have too much cloud cover. Oh well.

Good god, ita, that is just ridiculous.

Jesse, approach the characters as you would one of your reality show characters. I can't say any of them are likable, but some are tragically pitiable.

Someone used my cleavage as a launchpad this morning. It's not pretty. It will sting in the pool.

This morning is rough. On the upside, I got 8 hours of sleep. On the downside, maybe not enough. Market done, but I need a shower now and errands need doing.

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

Jesus, ita, I'm sorry. Dang.

sarameg, it took me a minute to figure out that someone was probably feline.
