Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I think we're going to take Emeline to the comic book shop to pick out her first comic tonight in honor of her finishing kindergarten.

Pictures, please!!!

Why can't I have a better picture of this [link] is it because the universe is mean. Yes, yes, that must be why.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Her favorite comic book show is Teen Titans, so we'll probably steer her in that direction. I'm excited about it, but I worry that in true Emeline fashion, she'll get there and not want to have anything to do with it and have a meltdown in the store.

Another gem of a conversation today. I was telling a co-worker about one of the mom's that I hang with used to be a DeadHead and paid her way following them by sewing.

"What's a Dead Head?"
"Someone who follows The Grateful Dead as they tour.
What's The Grateful Dead?
Go away. Go away now.
