Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Damn this cable! It tells me that Alton is on at the same time as Blackadder! Now I need a second TiVo and approximately 43 splitters!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Speaking of phones, it would be wrong of me to unplug my phone so that no one can call and make me stay late today, wouldn't it?

I'm getting the pig!

Perkins, I've found that simply not answering the phone works just as well.

Damn this cable!

See? Teevee doesn't make people stupid! How can it when you need a degree in Television Recording Management just to catch all your favorite programs?

But then I have to listen to it ring.

As opposed to staying late, I'll listen to it ring. And ring. And ring.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Mine rings twice, then goes to voice mail.

So, leave early! (That's what I did today.) That will ensure you will not have to stay late and you won't have to listen to the phone ring.

I'm really beating myself up about this stupid wallet. I feel like I have lost control of my life lately.

So to make myself feel better I'm looking at vacation pictures:

"Think of a situation where you could actually prevent an argument," he said. "Just having this device can make people more attentive because they know they're being monitored."

It'll make me more attentive to all the other things occupying my attention because I'll no longer be using a phone.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Back now. All packed. I've packed a ridiculous amount for basically a 2 day stay. Probably won't need it all, but how can I be sure?

I hate being out of my comfort zone.
