show cancellations are one of the worst things ever. you don’t get to see how the story ends. how a character’s journey ends. how the relationships of certain characters evolve. you watch a story get brought to life by cast and crew. you fall in love with it. and suddenly it’s taken away? you don’t get to see it anymore? you don’t get to know more? actors never get to play those characters anymore. sickening!

my cat hates taking his pills. the only way we can get him to eat them is to turn it into an elaborate pantomime - we take the packet out of the cupboard slowly and hold it up, saying “oh!! what’s this? what’s this? a TREAT? a TREAT for louis????” while making surprised faces. we offer him a pill… then, before he has a chance to sniff it, we wag our fingers at him and replace it in the packet so it becomes a Tantalising Forbidden Mystery. we continue doing this until he’s so confused and excited that he will eat the pill as fast as possible, just so he can find out what it is before we can take it away from him again. as soon as he’s eaten it he looks utterly disappointed and betrayed, like a child who just ate a delicious sweet only to find it was a chocolate-coated brussels sprout. it never gets old

“there’s no song of the summer yet” WRONG the song of the summer is the haunting call of the common loon echoing across the lake to its lover at dusk for the 27th year in a row

I can’t imagine how it must be like to not care about fictional women. if something doesn’t have at least one woman essential to the plot, then I don’t go there.

if you ever find yourself thinking “wow I scraped the bottom of the barrel with my energy with that and came out okay!” that’s the devil talking. you did not come out okay. you borrowed energy from the future. you will repay it if you don’t rest and replenish the borrowed energy first.
