Your Day

I only read the first one and it was fun and all but didn't compare to the series. I looked up some stuff on how the series progressed and Dexter never had any real arc as a character and eventually it turned out that he was possessed by a demon or something, and the whole thing with Deb finding out Dexter was a serial killer at the end of the first book wasn't even dealt with, as if her acceptance of it was some blasé thing not worth going into. The whole series just sounded shallow and incompetently written, which was the feeling I got from how the first book ended in the first place.

Nah the Dexter book series seems like poor detective thriller schlock with a gimmick. The show was police procedural schlock with a gimmick but far better at it.

Fair enough

Where’s elph?

Either dead or in jail tbh. He was trying to steal mail and rob his workplace. Best case he's just too unstable to even log into MB.

Yankees just forced a game six and I lost a bet.

It's kinda not funny at this point and I'm a bit worried.

Yeah I like elph too

If I had to guess, elph isn't dead.

In jail, possibly.

More likely, depressed over the break up and embarrassed over airing it out here. Not yet trying to face the crowd.

Can't say I blame him. Airing out sensitive/personal **** on MB is a mistake. Few will come with sympathy. More will come with daggers.

He logged in today so he's probably just embarrassed, which is understandable.
