I feel a black cloud of awfulness hanging over us too, and I am very scared myself. But remember this - your everyday life will more than likely go on much the same as before. That may or may not make you feel better …

Hi!

All of these things. And I would add that if you can find one or two ways, even small ones, in which you can feel like you are fighting back against the changes in this country that you don't like - sending $5 a paycheck to Planned Parenthood or the ACLU, etc. - then do that too. At least, for your own peace of mind,…

And somebody else's favorite song.

Yes, it was more patronizing. Mystified means nothing more than "confused." Hey, thanks for taking the time out of your day to spread some unpleasantness my way for nothing more than disagreeing with you about a movie.

What? I watched the original trilogy in the theater multiple times as a kid, and many, many times since. Dude, you have no idea how much I love Star Wars. Why the hell would you assume something so patronizing?

I spent most of the movie bored out of my mind. I liked Diego Luna and Donnie Yen and I loved the droid, but there wasn't much else I liked at all. I was mystified anyone liked it as much as they did.

I thought she was delightful! It's been hinted that she's got hidden depths as a result of what she'd dealt with in her past. We've also known that she's got some fierce mama bear instincts for Sherlock. We just didn't know how fierce until now.

I tried reading that and got stuck in like the second or third chapter. That book didn't work for me either.

The '70s and witchcraft? I'm in. Combined passions.

How am I to know entirely too much about you if I don't ask nosy questions? Sheesh!

For the wedding you're going to?

Ann Hite's Ghost on Black Mountain, which is addictive, more in its prose style than its events, though those are good too. The Doctor Strange Epic Collection: A Separate Reality., which … the art is gorgeous, right up my alley, but the dialogue is holy-shit-terrible.

That sucks.

My noisy-ass neighbor? Hit critical mass a couple of nights ago, and I called the cops. Twice. They came and raised holy hell. Last night, she FINALLY came over and knocked on my door to talk to me. We started out pretty heated, but quickly, hearing each other's side, were able to come around and figure out how to…

Thank you! The same to you, friend.

Wowsers. It's been 53 here the last few days, though from here to the end of the week, it's supposed to slowly drop to 13 degrees.

I'm so sorry.
