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.

Hm, turns out just as well I was short on quarters. Day 1 started unexpectedly and vigorously at 5:30. That would have been...awkward. Tomorrow is supposed to be rainy and cool, but that'll just be an experience (city pool is outdoor.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Fucking Ronnie.

You want I should pay Ronnie a visit?

I applied a glass screen protector to my new iPhone and despite being really careful, one tiny speck of dust. Gonna drive me nuts.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It'll be like a grain of sand that's an irritant to an oyster but eventually produces a pearl.

Except you don't get a pearl.

Oh, man, I hate that. It always happens.

Right now I don't have a screen protector on my new phone (Moto G 5-Plus), and it's so shiny and bright. But possibly fragile.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I woke up at 4am with "Under Pressure" in my head. A little on the nose, brain!!!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

This episode of "My Cat From Hell" features a guy named Kurtis, who named his cat Kurtis Jr.

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

Well, there's your problem, Kurtis.
