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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

What a great idea, Liese, and I love that photo of you!

I'm wondering if my local public radio stations are regretting running their spring pledge drives over the time change weekend.

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

Ugh, aurelia, what a PITA! I hope it doesn't get worse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thank goodness I am feeling better today! Not 100%, but functioning, at least. Phew.

On the flip side, I don't know why I don't really look at my clothes when I'm getting dressed, but my dress today basically looks like someone threw a cup of detergent on it and didn't rinse. I don't know why! I'm trying to clean it off , but overall will hope that there is enough of it that it looks like the dress has a (weird, irregular) pattern. Yikes.

Weird! I'm sure people will assume it's supposed to look like that. I do the same not really looking at my clothes thing, of course, and usually it doesn't matter.

I would like another 8 hours of sleep, please, last night didn't take.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am full of gronk. I went to bed before 10!! so much gronk. gronk-filled.

I am not sure I can address the desire to paint over a pink tub. PINK!

I need mac's tub re-glazed. it had peeled off about 1/3, just metal there, that can't be good long-term.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Charlie has decided he doesn't want to go outside in the dark, even on leash.

I need more coffee.

More than a pink tub, I'd want a purple tub. But seriously, if I had to choose, I'd just go with a nice large waterfall shower with a seat in it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

When I was growing up, this one kind of hippy dippy (for a small town) family had a purple clawfoot tub and a mirror over their bed. It was very shocking in 7th grade. Their kids also had a trailer to party in in the back yard that they wallpappered with flattened beer cans.

Sometime in the last 10 years, the father came out. Which was weird to me only because they were they only parents that seemed to have sex.
