And sometimes I don't express myself very clearly.

I mean, it's either that or my mother really is deaf to the word NO.

I'm inclined to believe it's a little of both, you know?

[There You'll Be]

Yeah, I imagine it's a matter of both.

[sunnykerr]

Meanwhile, it's official.

Limitless has been cancelled.

I expected it, but it still sucks. Bleh.

[There You'll Be]

Yeah, I saw that.

I knew they were "shopping" it around.

Sorry it didn't work out, for your sake.

[sunnykerr]

This is another reason why I don't trust in things unless they're concrete.

I'm sure there was shopping around.

But since it came to nothing and we have zero details about said "shopping around," I'm left with a stupid suspicion that there wasn't a whole lot of shopping around done at all.

It's stupid.

But, basically, even though we all pretty much suspected this is where we'd end up, I still kinda wish they'd just ripped the band-aid off and said it was cancelled from the get-go.

[There You'll Be]

Ah, yeah, we definitely view things differently.

I see it as having a chance, no matter how small a chance it is.

Yeah, I agree.

When it comes to things like that, I'd rather it be direct, and quick.

[sunnykerr]

I think you're just more positive or hopeful than I am.

For me, something having a chance is no good unless that chance pays out.

I bet you'll be a bit surprised when you read this, though.

I know you think you focus on the negative a lot.

But, clearly, there are areas where you're more hopeful than I am.

[There You'll Be]

Hm, I guess I really am.

The payout has to be there for you, or it's just like it didn't exist.

And that makes perfect sense to me, too.

That's true, I am.

[sunnykerr]

I just need something I can hold in my hand.

Something that's true.

I don't know how to explain it.

From my point of view, that doesn't necessarily make me hopeless or a pessimist.

It's not like I'm expecting things to go bad.

I just need something tangible.

[There You'll Be]

That does make sense.

Something solid rather than something out in the atmosphere somewhere.

Oh I don't think it makes you hopeless or a pessimist.

I think it makes you cautious, and just needing to know for sure.

[sunnykerr]

I think you're right.

I am very cautious and I'll even add that I don't trust easily.

The forecast was for rain during the day today, so I went to work prepared that it would rain.

And it did, but not while I was outside.

So that's okay, right?

[There You'll Be]

That makes absolute sense. that it's that way when you don't trust easily.

That's very okay.

And I'd do the same in the possible rain situation.

[sunnykerr]

Well, I have a system for the rain prediction.

I have a spare umbrella at work ("Mama Bear") and one that I carry in my hold-all ("Baby Bear").

They'll so in a pinch.

But, if the prediction call for 60% or more in chances that it'll rain, that's when I bring out Papa Bear.

[There You'll Be]

Oh! That is an ingenious idea I'd never thought of!

I would have loved to have thought to have one on me, and one at work.

Love Mama Bear and Baby Bear.

Oh wow! A Papa Bear on top of those 2? Very good planning on your part.

[sunnykerr]

Well, you'll understand that the whole "Baby Bear, Mama Bear, Papa Bear" system is a representation of the respective size of those umbrellas.

The one I carry around (Baby Bear) works, but it's small.

So it can be a bit of a pain.

Mama Bear is in a drawer at work is medium-size.

It's better, and it totally works, but the handle is a bit short.

Papa Bear is the larger one.

It's not a golf umbrella, though.

So when there's a good chance it'll rain, I'd rather have that one around.

It's just handier, you know?
