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.

Because books.

Oh, man. Gene Wilder. Also what Matt said.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yes, Matt. Exactly what I thought.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Husband and I sometimes break out the lines from this scene:

Man nothing says "no plans to socialize tonight" like having a can of tuna and a box of garlic chive crackers for an afternoon snack.

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

From a week ago: there is post-war Foyle's War available on acorn.tv, just in case that is not known. Series 8 and 9 I think?

(I'm only about 300 posts behind, now, but I had to skip in case this would be useful knowledge)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'd assumed Bob Ross's hair was a perm. The curls just didn't look right for it to be natural.

Dana, I'm so glad about the job!

[I clearly lack enough focus to properly meara so I will just occasionally pop in with non sequiturs referring to stuff from the past until I actually catch up]

Oh, brenda, I'm so sorry. How terrible!

May he and Gilda have had a fond reunion.

Yes.

I don't know what to think about Bob Ross' hair, either.

Look, I am caught up! Yay! And pretty much need to go catch my bus. But maybe tomorrow I can look at some of the linked dishes and crystal I had to skim past today...

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

Timelies all!

I was driving to pick up the little guy from daycare when I rear-ended another car.(traffic was stop and go, and I got briefly distracted by a siren) My car is a Toyota Corolla, the other car was a Ford Escape. Yep, my car got the brunt of the damages.(crumpled hood and pushed-in grill) Luckily neither I nor the other driver were injured. I have called my insurance company and filed a claim, and made a reservation with Enterprise for a rental. waiting on the body shop to call me to set up a time to tow my car to the shop to see if it's worth repairing. It is a 16 year old car after all....

Mondays suck.
