It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Just started Season 3. Swear to god my favorite character is whoever is talking! I did kind of love X, as far as guests. Well, and Shel. And how thir stories resolved.

Aaaaaaaaa, season 3 is Clementine! It's so fucking good!!!

Oh my god, I love Shel! I do honestly love all the characters, but Caspar and Effie are my absolute favorites.

Have you listened to the related show, Young Leif? I think if you're listening through Spotify or other services, Young Leif is only accessible to Patreon members, but it is available on YouTube. And Young Leif does tie in to the main story, so it's worth listening to. Plus it's just kind of awesome.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

What odds would you give that "manna" is on their list?

Oh, it definitely is.

Dylan's interview went well yesterday...which means he's going through to round three. And maybe there's a round four after that? Which is good news, but these multi-round processes sure drag out the suspense. I'm building up a long list of Things to Do As Soon As Dylan Gets a Job, ranging from "finally do something about that crack in the front bathroom ceiling and shop for a new couch" to "try ALL the new restaurants with good buzz and then I'm taking him to fucking CANLIS" (the fanciest restaurant in the city) because I'll no longer be balancing every tiny splurge with the fear over how our savings are shrinking inexorably and what happens if I lose MY job or we have to have rolling unpaid furloughs because of continuing state budget cuts and federal nonsense in the research funding world.

I'm very grateful for David. I definitely want to take him out for a cocktail when I've recovered.

I am happy to report that shrift got the Express Butt Spelunking and I barely had time to go shopping in Japantown before I had to go collect her again.

Looking at my paperwork, they basically gave me an A+ for prep, so perhaps that's why everything went so quickly? Very glad it's done. I made a spinach omelet for breakfast and it was fucking great. For lunch, I'm going ham on the nuts, seeds, fruit, and granola in yogurt.

Have all the red Gatorade and Jello they tell you not to have during the prep.
