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

I think Tom Scola fandom is a legitimate part of the Buffista experience.

This is a true statement

Your dad is a piece of work, Tep, and however you can manage to deal with him has my support. Up to and including not dealing with him.

I was dreaming about rewatching X-files. I need to rethink my life.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

A man who will drive himself to the hospital with a heart attack but doesn't give up on past health issues ... he embraces his contradictions. (although a while ago I heard a news report about a man who was having a heart attack and, not having a car, stole an ambulance to get to the hospital)

Stole an ambulance? He couldn’t just flag it down or something? Yikes.

It is 7:18am. I need to do a little work and i want to leave town by 1pm. I have packed for this six week road trip not at all. Um.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dag, Steph, I would avoid talking to your father about anything at all. Sorry.

Where are you going for six weeks, meara??

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I heard a news report about a man who was having a heart attack and, not having a car, stole an ambulance to get to the hospital

I feel like my dad would do this. Like, he wouldn't *call* an ambulance to transport him as a patient (I always steal Christopher Titus's joke that my dad won't call the ambulance when he has chest pains, because the EMTs won't go through the Burger King drive-thru on the way to the hospital), but if he could steal one, that's probably peak bucket list for him.

...so that you can fit in the rewatch, right?

Steph, man, that made me want to... (well, I found it enraging on your behalf, not that you asked me to feel anything on your behalf).. but I would not smack an oldbie upside the head. And it wouldn't do any good anyway. Violence is usually not the answer, I keep needing to remind myself. One day, I may even lose the qualifier. One day.

DP made delicious chili last night, and I just had some for lunch. Life offers joy sometimes.

Oh, and also, it's peppermint bark season, MFers! (Cursing: It's not just for gourds).

I have wanted to smack him in the back of the head many, many times.

Chili is always better the day(s) after it's made. Yum!

Yes. Follow my dreams, as it were. ALso I'm pretty sure those first 8 episodes were not the same as the first episodes we got in the "real world" and I should really check that, right?

Mmmm, chili
