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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is the eye twitch better, bon?

If I do nothing else today, I have to do laundry. So of course it's chilly and rainy and I got sucked into Pimp My Ride, and it's about to be an L&O SVU marathon, and do I want to get up and go outside? No I do not.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Eye twitch is good, back is good. So far!

Sleep in a bed is good for what ails you.

Um, when what ails you is due to a lack of good sleep.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yep, Kings and Queens both. Meredith Melville/Matthew Anthony was the best of them. Also Lauren Ashley White/Blaine and Kate Lindberg/Master Chaz. Plus Queens Lady J and Aria (who Sail swears is a dead ringer for Sean Kozma).

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

I have a doppleganger??? Cool.

Or maybe I have to kill him before he kills me.

Y'know, I used the word doppelganger in a staff meeting the other day, and everyone but one person looked at me in complete puzzlement, not knowing what the hell I was talking about. I thought it was a fairly normal word! WTF? Crazy coworkers and their lack of vocabulary!

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

Doppleganger came up in an infamous round of Balderdash. I didn't win that hand because I neglected the word "ghostly" in my definition.

My sister, OTOH, was a little further off the "double" part, but she remembered ghostlike, and so she got the requisite points.

I don't care that it was 8 or so years ago. I'm still pissed.

Unhappiness is discover that the hot water in the laundry room is rusty when you're doing a white load.

Also today, I got to go to an apartment where someone has skipped out on the lease and clean the disgusting bathroom.

Going back to bed seems more and more enticing.

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

Um, when what ails you is due to a lack of good sleep.

Yep. Cuz if it's bedbugs what ails you, bed no good.

I am so wanting to make blueberry pancakes. I wish I had the CI recipe for pancakes, all I have is a mix and some fresh blueberries.

In other news, I have successfully procrastinated writing leading to immense guilt. Um, go me?
