Yikes. Good luck, Morg.

I'm sorry you're having anxiety and depression issues. I have them too, though thankfully not for a while now. I hope the clouds clear up a little soon and this eases up.

Ugh, that's the pits. Get well soon!

My God. That's a big bunch of horrible. Good luck with tomorrow and everything else.

Wow, that's great!

A Milwaukee band called Tigernite on bandcamp. Good stuff, sort of early eighties sound.

That honestly sounds more fun than this remake.

Yeah, I mean, Amazon's like my general store anyway, my purchases there might as well help support AV Club.

That's a great idea they could do a lot with. I hope you're right.

Thanks! I'll look that up on Goodreads.

I have to admit, I think it's kind of beautiful.

Ha, we're doing some major training in our office too, and it's been super quiet and it's made me downright twitchy.

Thanks - it's helpful knowing some damn thing happens eventually.

Thank you! I'll reserve it at the library.

What do you recommend of his for starters? I love Halloween/autumn, so I've been mulling over picking The October Country.

Right? This story could have gone in at least like, five much more interesting and gratifying ways, but instead we got "my brother might be autistic and my mom is desperately unhappy and making my dad unhappy and no one pays any attention to me and I'm in unrequited love with my brother's only friend." And honestly?…

That sounds like a recipe for feeling pretty good about yourself. Congratulations!

Oh my God. I have no idea what to say. I hope something hopeful presents itself to you soon. And fuck those dicks for mocking your pain.

Oh my God, I'm actually so excited for you. Seriously, my mom's twice/three times yearly visits have the possibility to drive me up a wall, and she only comes for five days at a time. I've been marveling at your infinite patience with your mom's shenanigans.

This is what I was going to say. Also, maybe create a playlist of music that helps calm you down or transport you elsewhere and keep it on loop.
