He's the Last of the Hard-Core Troubadours

I am so cranky today. No, there is no reason for it. Or rather, there are many trivial reasons for it and no good ones. It is your responsibility to cheer me up in the comments. I DARE YOU.

Yeah, he is, but damn. That was harsh. (Particularly having "I smell bread" be Lamb's last words. I'm seeing concussion stuff everywhere lately, it's weird.)

Thanks for the excerpt; I like that a lot.

Oh, good. I never know if that stuff is just depressing to everyone else. The thing I love about that book is how it's about all the bad shit AND all the marvelous things too.

It's sort of like the intended version of the unintended effect of Patsy Cline: No matter how sad I am when I listen to Patsy, I'm not as sad as Patsy. Plus, singing along is fun. (Except for anyone in earshot.)

(Funny and fun aren't the same thing in this particular scenario.)

I totally getcha. That is one of Xander's most relatable scenes. (Well, OK, he wasn't singing, but you know what I mean.)

Wow, I had totally forgotten about the Xander scene. I need to go back and rewatch.
