I haven't had the time yet, Strega. But I have it right here. You sulk.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

[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.

Someday I will open a nightstand and it will have the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, and I will die of happy right there.
One of the things the American Poetry & Literacy Project [link] does is put books of poetry in hotel rooms. Perhaps we could start something similar for dictionaries. Or Firefly DVDs.
I once checked into a hotel after a very long day and found the Gideon Bible open to a particularly gloomy part of Job.

Tim's going to be watching Jam? Best. Show. Ever.
And by 'best' I mean 'sickest' and also 'wrongest'.
Oh Melon King...

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
Ima sulk with Strega.

I have to do all the laundry in the world, too.

How much do I love the possibility of getting to hear a television character call something "craptastic"?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I had a meeting at NBC last week and the executive's assistants told me "Drive" was their favorite pilot script (they rank the competish).
Ack! Variety-speak!

We had a television character call something "sucktastic" on VM a couple weeks ago.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Russell T. Davies had a character use the term chavtastic in Doctor Who s2 ep1 "New Earth".

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Just ordered it, David
A sound investment. It's like a very cold cynical and tonic served with a twist of lime.
Even after watching Arrested Development and Adult Swim shows and various other boundary pushing efforts, I still watched Action and kept thinking, "They aren't really going to go there are they? They did!"
