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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I'm OK with that now. I'm still too young to be a cougar, right?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I have to admit, I'm not tired of the discussing of this. I think it's hysterical.

I agree. I'm just too damned nosy. And I'm finding it kind of fascinating. In a @@ forever kind of way.

ION, I did yoga. No fist, though. I also did a bellydancing program that I am hilariously uncoordinated at.

Fit TV has some great on-demand programs! Who knew?

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

I'm still too young to be a cougar, right?

NO. At least, I don't think so.

Or maybe I just want company in my putative pursuits. Like yesterday's nurse. Who was just putative. And 12.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Eddie is searching for the "ur-trope" -- the one trope that can explain all others. And what's his latest theory? "People tell stories," he says.

Okay, there you have it.

(I posted in this in Literary, but I'm xposting with Natter and Bitches to get the most feedback, because I am so interested in this. If it works, imagine the Buffistas lending community!)

Hey, anyone buy ebooks through Barnes and Noble?

They have a Lend an Ebook beta and I would love to know if anyone has tried it. SO far, you can do it on your PC and a Nook, but they say it's coming for iPhone/Touch soon.

I think I have one of the books in the Beta, but I would LOVE to try it out with someone.

I figure you have to be 40 to be a cougar, which I am not.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Okay, you all suck, because I have been reading Bureau 1. I think the most boggling thing to me is that we initially worried that Deena might be a sockpuppet of mieskie.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
