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.

I am so over that baby. Is it still trying to get media attention?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

JohnSw-- count me in on the deep disapproval of dress shorts. We may, alas, be seeing more of them around this season, as they are a "trend," but I think they're hideous.

I've had a frustrating day. Not only am I trying to do a new-to-me job covering a whole lot of aspects of business I've never dealt with before, they've put me in an open cube right behind the row of manager offices, so I can't even sneak in a teeny little online window to surf here and relieve some stress.

Yes, the diamond shoes are pinching, but my frustration level is dreadfully low at the moment.

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

I haven't seen an execution of dress shorts that has made me rethink my initial reaction of "No!"

Shit's all sorts of different now.

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

Back away from Zappos, Aimée. Nothing good comes of it.
