that pic certainly illustrates your point. (hmm...pun not intended, but likely an unfortunate result of my still half-asleep brain). i've never been flattered by a cartoon before. dat is one hott piece of crayon. tho i don't think we're quite anatomically proportional.

'monster' fucked with my head too. it was a trip cuz i didn't know anything about the movie (haven't watched tv in months, so i'm a little out of it). and a friend of mine lent me copies of several of the academy award nominated movies. (ya know, cuz dat's da way we do it in la la land ). so, i was completely caught off guard by that one. and then it became even more poignant (and disturbing) at the end when i found out it was a true story. had no idea. i hope you're feeling better today. i saw it a few weeks ago, and there are still a few unsettling images haunting me. but maybe that's not a bad thing.

you actually almost sound like you know what you are talking about regarding TCM. impressive feigned obligatory interest. (i know how you like that phrase and all). though you're quite brave (and maybe a couple other things) to offer to liquor up someone you want to stick needles in you. maybe i'll just stick with the pants-wetting acupressure to begin with.

and you are not a hobbit. (lowly worm maybe. but in a good way.)

plenty of your beloved emoticons throughout this post - cuz i kant rite.
