Can't sleep. Not usually a problem, but my brain won't shut -up tonight. Guess I'll put some laundry in since I failed at that all day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Luckily I wouldn't raise an eyebrow if I started dressing like Kalinda. Well, okay, that would only count as luck if somehow I had a closet full of her clothes. I only have one or two outfits to fake it with.
Mnnf. Insomnia and headache. Haven't decided which drugs to apply.

Most of my soft furniture I bought new, except for the futon in the guest room. Most of the tables and suchlike are hand me downs. I remember my grandpa refinishing one of the side tables when he came to visit us the summer I was 7 or so. My other grandpa made the cedar chest I use as a coffee table. They're probably my two favorite pieces of furniture.

My roommate ordered a wonderful coffee table through Levenger's about ten years ago, and it's still in primo condition despite all we've (sometimes literally) thrown at it. Unfortunately I just checked their online catalog and they're no longer carrying them, alas.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I really liked "The Good Wife" too. It's been really entertaining in recent episodes. I could have done without the Eli subplot, but whatever. Small annoyance.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Honestly, my cheap-as-possible Ikea Lack coffee table is still in fine shape, ten years later. But I really want drawers. And am feeling flush.

Art Crawl!!!
Which Eli subplot? I liked the one with the 1st year . The other one was annoying (to me.)
I just love how the jury just didn't react at all the way Wendy Scott Carr expected.
Also - I don't think she was wearing gloves but yeah, they were kind of implied. (Perhaps she had taken off the kid gloves.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Oh, the Eli subplot that involved romance. I mean, really. If they are going to do that, bring on a woman he has chemistry with.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Oh, going back to the "where New Orleans places in the list of most murderous places in the world" topic up thread, I was just reading The Week that a Mexican study just came out with that, and New Orleans was the number one US city on that list, but it was number 21, not in the top 5 as I'd head in passing. NOLA has 58 murders per 100,000 residents.
Sorry for going back there, but my earlier imprecision was bugging me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Yep, according to Wikipedia, there are about five countries with murder rates higher than New Orleans. There has to be some city therein that beats the Big Easy, then.
This article proffers a list of the most dangerous cities in the world. [link] I don't think it limits itself to murder, but the list contains few surprises.
