'Hell Bound'
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.
Oops. That's supposed to be ungraceful, but it got autocorrected.
I figured pointed ignoring was about as good as it would get, which is why I took the baby gate down. I am pretty sure we are past the point of potential bloodshed and that's mostly what I care about.
OH! Well, if you end up in the hammock and not on the ground you are doing okay, graceful-wise.
And if you end up on the ground but not hurt, that's good for a laugh.
I think after 10 years we've got slightly more grudging acceptance than pointed ignoring. Maybe.
Which is good, because G&J are coming over after we go to breakfast tomorrow to see the house and let Charlie bark at them.
TELL THEM I SAID HELLO AND I WILL WAVE NORTHWARDS.
Nurse is coming at fucking NINE tomorrow. At least she called to tell me (not that I'm answering the phone). But that means I need to do the tidying today.
It's hard to tidy and de-porn in the middle of drawing. Stopping drawing would seem a decent solution, but I'm not sold on it yet.
the vampire panics of 19th century New England. So interesting! Especially the link to tuberculosis.
Mercy Brown! I love that story.
Yes! And she may have partially inspired Lucy - shoot, I used to know her last name but it's gone. Mina Harker's friend.

Only one r, I believe.
Concord grapes: I just got back from a great 6-hour retirement party my cousin-boss threw for our company's (former) president. Great BBQ, wine, and margaritas were had by all, and the guest of honor was really touched by former co-workers from decades ago showing up or sending in their video congrats and well-wishes.
I was encouraging one of my supervisors (whom I'd have invited to become a buffista long ago if not for the fact that this is where I come to vent about work) to borrow my Teen Wolf DVDs based on his love of Buffy. And then walked alone a quarter mile through a winding forest road in the pitch dark to get to my car, and only realized mid-walk that I was doing exactly what I've called Scott McCall out on as a dumbass for doing at the start of said series. Thankfully the only wild creatures that bit me were mosquitos, but as I was shuffling along by the dim light of my cellphone I was imagining "...and that was the last anyone ever saw of him!" as my epitaph.
"He was a nice guy, but more importantly, too well-steeped in pop culture to wander off through the woods after a bittersweet party. That took us all by surprise. You think you know a guy, and then...boom! You find he has habits you couldn't even dream of sharing.
"But we would have listened--we just didn't hear what he was so desperately screaming. At least he didn't take that new guy (virgin) he'd developed a crush on. Small mercy, given the tragedy, but it's all we have to hold onto right now."
