So am I the only one thinking "thank fuck it isn't only Americans who do shit like that"?
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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
Today's xkcd is pretty damn timely on the baby names thing: [link] The alt-text is a thing of beauty.

Swouncing
Practicing yet again my skipping-while-ignoring-ongoing-conversations skills, because, according to Topic!Cindy "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Feb 1, 2006 1:02:15 pm PST , today is Olivia's birthday.
Happy birthday, you big girl! With lots of wishes for your mom, your older brother, and all your family as well!

My sister swears there was a girl in one of her daughter's classes named - well, it was pronounced "Shi-theed" but it was spelled Shithead.
They now call her ex-husband Shi-theed.
