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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh dear Suzi, how scary! I hope it is contained soon.

I am crazy tired. I should go right to bed but I'm sure I'll read a bit first. oops.

Trust my rage

Oh, Suzi, that's freaky. A friend was talking about smoke on FB. I figured it was a fire. Hopefully things calm down overnight?

I am awake because Sammy, the baby who never cries, will only sleep and stop screaming when I walk/dance around the room with him. We are listening to Pitbull on repeat. I am so damn tired but don't see any other choice.

Happy belated bday Allyson. I hope today is better.

SuziQ - here's hoping the fire is managed soon!

I'm on a train to NYC with HPF*. Plan is Empire State bldg > NYPL > American Girl Doll Store > Met > Central Park > magic store > home. Yah. If we make it out of American Girl, I'ma call this a win. *Kate, the doll, currently has the window seat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, maybe I'm easily overwhelmed, but I wouldn't bother putting the Met in a chock-full itinerary like that. Have fun!

If we make it, it'll be for lunch and a quick peek at the dragon-armor (in case of Smaug). We have a reciprocal membership, so it's free. MOMA is close, but lacks swords and reciprocity.

Oh, that's a good deal, then!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm too angry to think rationally despite the sleep. I woke up thinking I should get on a plane. I'll have to miss a day I was going to spend with my niece and nephew, and that will suck. But I can't really look at my parents without feeling rage.

I'm so sorry that your parents chose to behave this way, Allyson. I hope that whatever happens this morning, it leads to a good day.
