That sounds both awful and like probably the right call.
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, 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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I'm sorry that things have gotten so ugly, Drew.

This is a random thought I've been having, which is especially random since I don't even watch Broad City, but: I love that there are these female creators, like Abbi and Ilana and Rachel Bloom of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, because while they are all thin and pretty, they aren't quite thin and pretty in the way that casting agents would pick, and I like that.

And Amy Shumer! I guess you have to be funny.

In the conflict of Pope v. Trump, this is currently my favorite stupid comment on a newspaper article:
And what idiot appointed the Pope to decide who is and who is not a Christian?
Uh, there's a whole process and everything.
ION, I FORGOT my coke this morning because I was so tired. This is going to be a self-reinforcing problem.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
And what idiot appointed the Pope to decide who is and who is not a Christian?
According to about 1.2 billion people, that would be God. The commenter should feel free to take the matter up with the idiot in question at the earliest opportunity.

Wow! That's impressive. How are you doing generally, Gud?
Eh, not that great really. I feel like I just jump from time-sensitive task to time-sensitive task with no end in sight. I don't do things like watch TV, or read, or play games, or do stuff with friends, or anything for leisure and I still need to squeeze in time for exercise somehow. Also, I'd like to get back to writing, but I just can't find the time. Meanwhile my wife gets angry at me for not doing certain things around the house. It's like I have to do precisely the right tasks at the right time and that's really hard when I'm always running out of time.
I should get what should be the final proofs for my book, Cog, today. Yet, I don't feel all that excited about it because I know I won't have time to promote it or work on the sequel like I would like to. So, kinda bummed about that.
OTOH, we sent off that last mortgage payment last night and that was sorta cool, sixteen years of payments just came to an end.

This season's Republican primaries is just gold.

Husband has a second phone interview with the Nashville people on Monday. Eek.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
The short form is that we learn what it means to be us in the world long before we are in relationships and that learning includes being influenced by people whose losses have nothing materially to do with us, but we STILL learn how we are supposed to process loss from them.
We talk about this a lot in therapy.
