oh, poor Matilda.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Man, the temporary peace of Capt. Johnson's tactics on Thursday night has been shattered by Ferguson PD asshattery and obfuscation of the situation (Friday press conferences), compounded by angry protesters (some who looted, more who defended against looting) and now the Gov's declared State of Emergency with midnight curfew.
This is all so bad.

It's horrible. I can't seem to look away. The TV is reporting smoke bombs but twitterer are saying it's tear gas.

“But why?” she said. “Why? I can see you’re attracted to me, and I’ve been throwing myself at your head. Why won’t you kiss me?”
“You don’t want me, baby,” he said. “I’m bad news. I’ll just hurt you.”
“Oh,” she said. “Good reason. Okay. Bye.”

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We just swapped out! I now remember why I stopped staying up late -- it's not about staying up, but now I've slept til 10, so will have a hard time going to bed early tonight/waking up early tomorrow/etc.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Day-um. I slept for 9.5 hours last night. Haven't done that in a while. Like, a 35 years while.
