Maybe it's not fair or understanding, but it's understandable.

FTR, Frontline started out OMG! but seems to be winding up Allyson's lesson.
-t, thanks. I don't really need the reassurance, it's just sobering to discover your own emotional judgments, and realize they don't line up with your idealistic/philosophical whatevers, you know?

I too am sort of dumbstruck by the Heath Ledger news. I'm also surprised that they reported the address and apartment number.

Yes, I do. Not something I ever like facing, but there it is, sometimes.

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

Maybe the tide is turning.
I don't think a visceral response to death is required, per se, but it's perfectly understandable when it happens.
I just put in two loads of laundry, ignoring the four or more loads that'll just have to wait until another day.

Art Crawl!!!
I spent my weekend petsitting and doing my laundry. Lots of laundry - 5 loads of clothing, a load of towels, two different loads of bedding.
And I have STILL more. This is build up for the year or two that my apartment building machines weren't working and I fell into the habit of doing everything by hand. . . and just hanging stuff up in the bathroom to dry and obviously, this is NOT a very effective way to do laundry.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
If the tide does turn, Ima give credit to Allyson.
I laundered. I even folded and put away the clothes. I even matched the socks. Fear me. I am the very paragon of domesticity.
Or something like that. I might even go finish the dishes now. And then I might rewatch Torchwood and fold letters. Whoo, productivity.
Of course, all this productivity is just packing-avoidance. But it has to be done before I can pack. Really.

Nah, visceral isn't really important. I was just rather surprised I had one here, given my distance from the relative. I like to think of myself of logically consistent. Which is total bs, by the way (as day 3 or 4 of the fucking hormone storm . The damn predictive zit shows and I completely lose my rationality and most of my mind. Hey, at least I have a warning sign, right? But it isn't a sign today!) But I like to think.
Frontline just made me write them a letter. Oy. May it bring Allyson more sales.

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
what happened the what now?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
16 of the Most Creative (and/or Sexy) Hotel Rooms in the World: From Upside-Down to Local Urban Art
I wonder if one could actually sleep in the bed on the ceiling in the upside-down room. That would be fun to wake up in.
This one's cool:
Prefer something less kitchy and more romantic? Perhaps the mirror room of the same hotel is for you. Mirrors are typically considered an erotic addition to a hotel room but this example carries the principle to the extreme with wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling mirrors spanning the diamond-shaped space.
Or the room with two cages....
