The Girls of September '79
Happy birthday to Mrs. Sacramento (née Never Girl)! My policy is simple: If once we were friends—kith, not merely acquaintances, classmates, or friends-of-a-friend—& I am not invited to your wedding, then you must not consider us friends any longer. Mrs. Sacramento ceased to be my friend years hence, when she was still Never Girl. I've included her in "The Girls of September '79" up to this point out of remembrance for how close we once were, & to increase the number of girls of September '79. I think this is the end of all that, & that going forward we shall celebrate the obstetric splendor of that propitious month as a trio, not a quartet. Happy birthday, Lindsay, & at long last farewell.

The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Puffy Ami Yumi, "Teen Titans Theme" via iTunes (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: I enjoyed the Teen Titans cartoon, & was fond of the Teen Titans themselves, but my favorite story was the final season arc involving the Doom Patrol & the Brotherhood of Evil. The Doom Patrol! The Brotherhood of Evil! It is precisely because I am so very fond of so many facets of the D.C. Comics universe that I can no longer stomach contemporary D.C. comics. But I digress.

"When there's trouble you know who to call—Teen Titans!
From their Tower they can see it all—Teen Titans!
When there's evil on the attack,
You can rest knowing they got your back,
'Cause when the world needs heroes on patrol—Teen Titans go!"
