Nilly - how are you?
I like calling him Almanzo, though he's still warming up to the nickname. Then again, the one nickname he's come up with for himself is Bob.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

All I know about Rent is that, if I were not making any money in New York, I would be living somewhere other than Manhattan, and thus paying less rent.
I can't imagine the show defined a generation, since Gen X was already handily defined, and Gen Y, who are not Gen X's children (hello to the word "generation"!), are to be blamed for Britney and the boybands.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Now the IT department is bickering about backups, or something. Jesus.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Happy Birthday, Sophia!!!!
Watching House when you have a killer headache is not a good idea. I went from "I must have a tumor" to "It's a blot clot" to "Oh my God, I'm going to have a stroke" in the space of the hour.
That's exactly why I can't watch it. (Or, in other words, I EAT HAM!!!!)

Now tagless for your comfort.
Happy Birthday, Sophia!

When I opened my eyes this morning, it felt like Friday. Then I realized it was only Wednesday, and made the sound of ultimate suffering.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I like calling him Almanzo
I read a thing! I can't remember where! Turns out "Almanzo" was pronounced with a short "a" so the middle syllable was "man". Which makes the nickname "Manly" make so much more sense.
Still no explaination as to why he ran out of Buffy and Joyce, however.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Gen Y, who are not Gen X's children (hello to the word "generation"!), are to be blamed for Britney and the boybands.
Hey, now!
Ok, yeah, that's fair.
But it's not like everyone from the Boomers on haven't had boybands in one way or other.

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

There's never enough Buffy to go around -- ask Spike and Angel.
How was Almanzo pronounced on the Prairie? I can't hear a pronunciation in my head without the short "a."

Happy Birthday, Sophia!
I admit I like House more for the characters and dialogue than for the plots. For me, the plots are mostly devices for to develop the characters and to give them something to snark about. So as long as the conversations remain interesting and I can ignore Cameron I'm not going to care much about the formula.
Plus, they had Italian motorcycles at the end of last night's episode! It totally ignited my semi-latent bike oost. Seeing that made me several kinds of happy, one or two of which weren't even hormonally based.
