I need a cheering section.
Also I have to give the puppy back today. Sad.
We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

The venom of some of the "but what about the meeenn" posts has startled me, as well as the sheer number. Say "male privilege and they come out like earthworms after rain and writhe all over the sidewalk.
I'm doing a transfusion-and-post. Come back, volunteer with the chocolate. Moar chocolate!
LAistas may regret my having a rare conversation with a stranger. The infusion nurse's son wants to write movies. He's been to film school and now he's hanging out in LA and basing his whole career plan on some major annual competition, which he has done well in but not won. I asked the usual: "Does he have an agent? Is he working with improv groups, small theaters, writers' groups? Has he tried to get a movie-adjacent job, however small? No, he's pinning all his hopes on this contest. His mother is worried. I gave her my e-mail address, and if he contacts me, I may forward his info to some of y'all. It will be entirely up to you what to do with it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I want my phone to cheer for me without having to do anything to earn it. I'd suggest that somebody write a viral blog post about how lazy and entitled my generation is, but these days it seems to be my generation that's writing all that bullshit.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
flea made me snort. And I'm in public too. Bad flea!
DH & I are doing a complicated car transfer as we are mostly down to just the one car right now. Since it involves an iced Americano and free wifi, I'm good with this.

Back in the dark ages when I was a newspaper reporter, stories were literally spiked on these lethal contraptions made by sticking a l ong nail into a pool of lead from the linotype machine. I had one on my desk for messages. I think of this when someone goes all stabbity.
