Crap.

Ever have one of those 10 minutes in an evening where everything is going along fine and then WHAM! You get crushed for some unknown reason except for the fact that the world is way too small of a place?!

A commune. I think that's the answer. A dysfunctional cynical science communicator commune where no one belongs to anyone else, all feelings are out in the open, and everyone lives happily ever after.
