Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I would seriously harm this person if we were in the same room, and I don't like that about myself.

You are an human being with limits and flaws. Only Jesus never sinned in his heart.

Ugh I’m so sorry JZ. That’s infuriating.

I admit I use Twitter on occasion—generally for news/reactions to very recent things (like a live tv sports thing or when the ferry recently crashed here) but I’ve never been able to handle it on the regular as a firehose of information.

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

Ugh, JZ, that's awful!

Fucking shitsquib, JZ. what a waste of the sweat his mother expended bringing him to birth. Pro tip: If you kill him, don't take anything.

(Suddenly Simon's headache clears up, before he gets the advil open. He doesn't know why. He smiles, but only briefly.) Which intensity, I think is why people ask him about the Sopranos finale so often...he and Chase don't look like each other, and yet? Resemblance. On the wrong day, though, I wouldn't, even as chick, approach either one without a cup.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

She's a she, a nurse, and claims to be a good and loving one who advocates like hell for her patients. I told her this was untrue, she's a bad nurse, and she reminds me of the nurse who pushed me to suicidal thoughts years ago (I outlived her, by God I did).

I could still kick her ass, not as thoroughly as my fake husband/ AU! real dad(I know what my mom likes, after a fashion...it could've, but it didn't, but much like Oz "it would explain a lot...") But I did promise him I'd #MowTheInternet and she sounds like just the right piece of crabgrass to start with. ETA: there is also a reason "meaning well is no excuse" is a slogan in the disability community. some of the worst people I've ever met are women in the "helping professions".

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

Timelies all!

Sorry you encountered that infuriating asshole, JZ.

I feel dumb for going so very nuclear, but I didn't even know it was a trigger until now. Being at his deathbed was a life-defining event, and someone flat-out telling me I'm lying about it just caused the entire universe to white out. All I wanted was to cause her pain.

Anyhow, she's blocked now, so even if I do go back she can't get at me. I just don't get it. Buffista nurses are the best; how are so many other nurses managing to be the very worst?

Ugh. That's discouraging.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Well that sucks, JZ. Who comes at people about discussing their parents’ deaths? What a jerk.

I got the news today that my cat Leifur had kidney disease. He’s 17 and the likely prognosis is 2-3 years, which would kinda take him to the expected lifespan of a mostly indoor cat anyway, but it still has me a little down. He seems comfortable and interested in things for now, which is good to see.

In other news, I’m watching a Columbo episode and having the unusual experience of watching Leonard Nimoy being thoroughly villainous. That’s rather fun.
