[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When sparring, I get my back up way too much and want to tackle the fucker who just swung at me and hit them until they are dead.

But that doesn't sound like fun ... or at least it's a one time sort of fun.

Equanimity -- perhaps that's the word I needed.

Will you look at the time? Off to a krav bridal shower.

Off to a krav bridal shower.

Does this mean you get to take a swing at the bride every time she opens a gift? Sounds like fun.

All is well that ends in pizza.

And I will watch "Objects in Space" before leaving, otherwise my friend T will keep me hostage and never let me go. I wouldn't want that.

You then have time to think of what you want to say in your review while on the plane. That should keep you from the boredom of long plane travel ...well, some of it.

I think the swinging should be reserved for whoever thought a spice rack would be a great creative gift.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hey! I need a spice rack! That'll go on my, "I'm 31, I'm likely to never marry, so buy my gifts" registry.

In honor of the Orange Alert, I'm making baked pasta. Then I'll take the car to get washed and duct tape all the vents.

Hey. New board.

Allyson, you want an iced tea maker? Those are always my favorite gifts to give at un-wedding parties.

I could use a lemon squeezer for to make yummy lemonade. Love lemonade. Lemonade hates me.

I have a Williams-Sonoma gift certificate that should be good for one.

Thinking about Nilly's Out of Gas review makes me want to watch it, but woe, I've lent it out.

Hey. New board.

Thinking about lemonade wants me to drink it, but woe, I'm a lazy sumbitch.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

And I will watch "Objects in Space" before leaving

Don't let this stop folks from showing it to Nilly on the trip. It is worth many repeat viewings, plus the commentary is great. I would think this would be a perfect ep to unwind from a trip. Of course, I'm a tad biased as this is my favorite episode of any show. Enjoy, Nilly!

Oh, and don't worry about the part where the creepy aliens attack the ship. I know that they said the show had no aliens, but it is all explained later.
