Go Scola!
The lawn, she is mowed. And the clippings are in the yard waste bin which is at the curb ready for tomorrow's pick up. Nice.
Zoe: Uh huh. River, honey? He's putting the hair away now. River: It'll still be there... waiting.

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

The status is NOT quo.
I ran a 5K race this morning and then came home and napped. Now I’m making desultory efforts at grading papers.

I'm eating cheese and watching Thor while my toenails dry and I wrangle some PDFs.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am sneezing, buying stock in Kleenex, and despising my stupid face.

Just to mention. Rake is not bad. Very unpleasant main character, but has some of the same appeal Buffalo Bill had. Seeing the extremely self-destructive and other-destructive main character somehow manage to survive all the messes he has gotten himself into them (survive only, cause he has not really left himself a way out) and occasionally take on people people who are even worse than he is and win. "Rake" is really an accurate title. All the characteristics of a 18th or 19th century rake brought forward to the 21st century. Gambler, petty scam artist, womanizer, customer for sex workers, scofflaw, heavily in debt to moneylender adventurer. (Also competent lawyer which an 18th century rake probably would not be.)He is able to get other people out of messes but only keeps getting himself in deeper. Also a selfish, shallow, vain, narcissistic user. As a balance the couple he is best friends with (Scarlett and Benny seem line decent people, as does his ex-wife.) And his clients are classic quirky lawyer show clients. So you are not spending 100% of your time with an unpleasant character.
Not the greatest show on TV, but not bad - though I suspect one could like it for a while than suddenly be totally over it one day.

Colin's pretty awesome as the Maytag guy.
I have an enormously painful cramp in my left calf. It's been there for 3-4 days and it makes it so I can't walk or sleep.
I have a 100 papers to grade. I'm not feeling it.

Low potassium, Kat? You could eat a banana.
Okay Kat and Pix, I will invoke both of you in my mind to keep me on task with my grading. I am way to fucking slow at grading. sigh.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Just to mention. Rake is not bad.
Huh. They made an American version of Rake? Or has the Oz show made it to American television?
