Anyone else watching the AMAs? Didn't Kate Hudson used to have boobs? And if she's going to wear that top, shouldn't she get some double-sided tape?
Hauser: You really think you can solve the problem? Come into Wolfram & Hart and make everything right? Turn night into glorious day? You pathetic little fairy. Angel: I'm not little.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm watching Hotel Rwanda. Ooof.
I need to figure out shoes.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Just had an odd experience of texting with my brother to get him through his upset over losing his pet snake. I know he's drunk. I know he's belligerent when he's drunk. I know he's sensitive about his snake (Spike) being viewed as a useless pet in others eyes (including mine). I can only imagine what my father has been insensitively saying to him ("good riddance!") I know that telling him to chill and breathe will backfire. I know that telling him what to do and feel will backfire. I know that sounding like I wanted his emotions to fit my timetable would backfire.
Man, the past hour and half have been a minefield of picking out the right words that will at least get him to allow himself to stop beating himself up and feeling sick and get some sleep. But I have to say, it was worth it to read the final text of "I love you, sis!".

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Aww, you're a good sis. May Spike rest in peace.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My Joseph Gordon-Levitt love has panned out in a way that my Frankie Muniz feelings never did. You can't win them all.
Sara, have you seen Hotel Rwanda before?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
RIP snakey Spike.

J-Lo, what are you wearing? That is not flattering.
Then they took off the little robe? And it got worse.
Aaaaand now we've added a gold corsetybubbleshirt thing (via our dancers) and we're still. not. good.

No! Spike is still alive! Living wild in the half-dug basement!
That was a big part of the careful word-choosing. In my attempt to make him feel better, he replied with "Great, X amount of money is now lost in the basement." I must have gone through five drafts of how to make it not a money issue and give import to Spike's status as a valued pet, and that Spike's livelihood, even if apart from him, in the half-dug basement, was more important than the cost of the pet.
Hotel Rwanda was good, but heavy and hurty.

Oh, dear -- I jumped right to reading "losing" as euphemistic, rather than reading it as, well, losing. Either way, good on you for talking your bro through the crisis.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
So Spike the Snake is not an ex-snake, but an escaped snake. Hey, he might come back. Basements are chilly. He might show up for a saucer of milk if the basement is mouseless and he's hungry.
Consider the cost of freedom, Brother Snake!
