A question often gnaws at me while I'm in the car.* Am I too hard on Tommy? You know, Tommy--he used to work on the docks, but the union's on strike and he's down on his luck. I don't want to be callus toward the plight of the unionized worker. It's tough. So tough. But mostly I feel that Tommy ought to quit whining about the union and get a new job, because Gina busts her ass all day, and I'm pretty sure the ramen they bought after hocking his six-string is long gone. I don't know what they're halfway toward, but I imagine it involves scurvy and homelessness, so maybe she ought to dump him and get a responsible roommate instead. If you're crying in the night because your boyfriend's an unemployed loser, running away is not a bad option.

19. Favorite minor that decided to shove himself into the spotlight and why!

If I answer this as written, the answer would be Moth, because she's the only minor who's wriggled her way onscreen lately.

The cough is much better after repeated application of promethazine. I may even risk the gym tomorrow, since I've been a slug for two weeks now. Maybe exercise will help untangle the timeline knot I'm tripping over right now.



*I only ponder this in the car because that's the only place I ever hear the song.
