Hey Jer, just face the darkness, walk through it, then turn around and say "Hey where'd I put my sleeping pills?"
Or whatever it was they said in Dune.
As to kittens and rainbows
I keed! I keed! Actually I'm a cat person. And my favorite novel is Gravity's Rainbow. So there!
And Jer have you ever read his Gloriana: the Unfulfill'd Queen?

You'd always end up having your soul sucked out by that dastardly black pig-sticker.
