    <content type="html">which is just one of my 99 problems, but I re-watched "Morning Glory" last night--it's a cute comedy about a morning chat show, and when I watched it the first time, in say, 2011, I was so jealous of Rachel McAdams' producer character with the job that consumes her life(I have a media degree, so it wasn't *completely* nuts to imagine a sort of AU where that was my Hamiltonian "shot", even though in real life, I never really got that close.   You know?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Working that much doesn't look that good to me now--it's good to know I can get over things; I've clung onto so much.&lt;br /&gt; But I don't know what it would look like if any of my current dreams came true, since I'm not quite at "Wouldn't change a thing," either, obviously.Even if that would make people closer to me happier than it would make me.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sort of wish I had what one of my more...unreconstructed hippie mentors used to call a "heart's desire" but I guess it could be worse than being confused...I could be tearing myself up wanting a baby, on the corner of Never Likely, and Too Late Now(one of the intersections where Phoenix really does have superior wheelchair access, if you go by my life experience, sadly) and that would hurt more than this.  Probably.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=chicating&amp;ditemid=94503" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">=Rewatching "Head of The Class" on weekend nights. &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_of_the_Class"&gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_of_the_Class&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it must have been on on either friday or Saturday when I was a kid, too, because I watched it staying over at my childhood BFF's house, too.  (She had a mom that totally worried about "screen time" and the values we got from TV, etc. I think my mom was happy that we watched that show over, like, nighttime soap opera, and both of our moms would have been totally comfortable having a parent-teacher conference with Howard Hesseman's teacher.&lt;br /&gt;Mom wasn't *especially* worried about what I watched or read, though. If I spent too much on TV, she'd be like, "Surely you have something better to do," Which, as a minor in a wheelchair with no money, was often hard to find pre-internet.&lt;br /&gt;-If I could vaguebook God about last night, I'd say "Universe, that was mean."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=chicating&amp;ditemid=75736" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">For a character in such an actiony show(and one who tends to get stiffed financially and/or clopped on the head), Jim likes his life. He likes tacos and spending time with his dad...maybe being in prison or in the Army gave him perspective on the small stuff, but thankfully he's not the guy to really tell you that, either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=chicating&amp;ditemid=24877" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
