My standard operating procedure has usually been to keep this kind of thing behind the door, but, I dunno, I felt confessional tonight. Like I said, it violates one of the old cardinal rules, but then, I've always thought "never let them see you sweat" was a weird saying. Sweating is an involuntary bodily function. You can't not do it.
Anyway, that's what I'm up against today: a mind made ruminative and self-critical by the tail end of a mysterious illness, and a plotting conundrum so fierce and unpalatable that this week's monumentally unsatisfactory episode of The Legend of Korra was a comparatively pleasant diversion. At least that was somebody else's inability to stop doing the same thing over and over again in hopes of a different result, and not my own.
