Was secretly hoping for the latest Doonesbury which is relevant to this post (see: flagamuffin, am_Unition) but am equally pleased with Garfield Minus Garfield.
You should try living here. I can't get out. I tried, and fate or whatever said "You get to switch cities for a little while, but not outside of the state.". Things could be so much worse though. At least people are fairly polite as long as they're not operating a motor vehicle. Also, for yourself and demure, here's one of my favorite "without" edits.
I...think I'm good...do have one friend moving to Dallas and another to Austin so maybe I'll be in the area in the future for a few days. Texas scares me. Oh god. That theme song. Nostalgia. Do they still make TV shows like Full House and Boy Meets World (which I totally watched last night).
I never watched an episode airing live on TV in the 90's, but a month or two ago, I'd throw on some Baywatch. You can really motivate yourself by watching just ten minutes of Baywatch combined with a simple mantra: "Hey, at least I wasn't involved in Baywatch."

Jon's life sucks both with Garfield, and without him. So basically Jon's life just sucks.
