I'm in the UK, hence the 'your' (as I assumed you were US).

If I've understood correctly, I'll tentatively offer points of acknowledgement, although bottom line, it's not the focus right now.

Chumbawamba wrote a song about my dad after he died ("Ratatatay"), and sent me a very nice letter and a CD when I let them know how much I liked it, so yay Chumbawamba!

Ah, fuck. Brain-fart.

Iirc there's a great a playlist by Charlie Brooker of the worst playlist for sexy fun time

No lamplight by Leo Sayer? Fuck that shit.

I remember being rather disappointed by Firestarter after loving the book, and my recollection of PS is not good (and the book is King's best imho).

Hasn't McCain voted against the repeal? I have to admit, there was an article in today's Guardian that went into some detail with regards to both Obamacare, the attempts to repeal it bit-by-bit, and what's intended (afawk) to replace it.

Yeah, sorry. Apart from anything else, I meant to clarify that that was my cycle - I never really suffered from anxiety. Anyway, I wish you well.

When you see Spiderman, do wait for the final post-credits scene. Much more fun with a bunch of people rather than on Youtube.

In terms of personal goals, etc. my main take-away from depression is:

I gathered it's pretty regressive, but for some reason it seems to get a pass from people who would otherwise be all over that shit.

Sounds about right. I'm in the UK and saw it on a fairly small screen. I kept waiting for them to slide back the edges, which happens for most films, but not this one.

Perhaps they're transgender?

I've been using a recipe from the AVClub for miso-marinated salmon (black cod? fuck that shit), which was pretty damn good. Our grill isn't great, but it barbecued beautifully.

Nothing in the article celebrates his illness. If you think otherwise, please quote it. If not, why should we ignore the terrible things someone has done just because they're dying? Particularly when 'dying' is something they don't seem to give a shit about when it involves poor people.

Not really. They gave Ready Player One an A.

To go full nerd, there was a scene early on in Nu-Who, during the Doctor Dances, where there's an exchange between Rose and a girl going through the blitz. What it did well imho was carry the idea that, to be living in those times, was to be looking at a future of chaos an uncertainty.

Yeah, but the last decent one was Rango.

A Jeffrey Archer and, thinking about it, an Anne McCaffrey Pern book (a late, crappy one).
