OH, and one more thing...

The Critic had the utter audacity to send me a Valentine's Day Card, extolling the virtues and wonders of our friendship -- a relationship which, for all intents and purposes, is completely at the whim of whatever position she's at in her emotional cycle. Just the other month or so she blasted me for being melodramatic, over an offhand remark, never mind the fact that her excessive melodrama was the exact reason why I stopped talking to her in the first place.

Physician, heal thyself.
