Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have no sympathy:

Blockbuster appeared caught in an avalanche of fiscal problems Tuesday as it posted a quarterly loss of $57.2 million that amounted to twice what analysts had forecast. A year ago, it had posted a profit of $48.6 million. The company was also forced to admit that it would not be able to meet its 2005 financial forecast and that it had to negotiate an agreement with creditors to waive certain debt payments in order to avoid defaulting on the loans. Blockbuster also announced that it was raising the monthly subscription fee for its online service to $17.99 from $14.99. Analysts attributed Blockbuster's problems to its decision to eliminate late fees in an effort to compete more aggressively against Netflix, the leading online rental service, and to a slate of new releases that customers found unappealing. Blockbuster shares plunged on Wall Street Tuesday, dropping nearly 10 percent, then fell an additional 8 percent by mid-morning today (Wednesday).

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

Allyson, that totally rocks like a rocking thing swaying rhythmically to a funktastic beat! BIG GIANT CONGRATULATIONS!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I have no sympathy

Nor do I. Got an email from them that, as promised, my rate wouldn't be raised until January. Guess who is going to NetFlix the month before that happens?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nora, your best deal on Priceline for a weekend will likely be way downtown in the financial district, even though they'll call it "downtown/Soho" BUT it's really not that hard to get around Manhattan. I saw $200/night for an unnamed 4 star (out of 5) just the other day, when randomly browsing.

50th and 10th is on a rapidly gentrifying strip of a slightly gritty area. You can get a $15 cocktail nearby, but might have walk by a crackhead or two to get there.

might have walk by a crackhead or two to get there.

Heck, I walk by a crackhead on my way to the grocery store--if my neighbor's awake and out on the sidewalk smoking at that hour, anyway.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Allyson, you ROCK!!! Congratulations!!!!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yay, Allyson. Go you!
