Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

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

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Hmph. Stupid scientists.

EDIT: OMG, practically verbatim laisse-faire x-post with Theodosia!!
Even funnier when you know we work at the same company.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The scientists win.
Say it ain't so!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, I'm so cranky about the fact that now I have econ homework every week, when we never had it before the midterm. Especially because as far as I can tell, the homework problems vary between being copy-from-the-book answers, and problems that are more complicated than either what's in the book or what we did in class. I am IRKED.
Man, I had a great 10 days or so of not being irked by school.

The scientists win.
As the lackey to real scientists, I ask: will they be able to survive a week in the world of bureaucracy and actually finding-a-pen-that-works without you?
If the answer is "yes", then your institute probably managed to invent a new breed of scientists, much superior to any kind I've ever seen before, and if that is the case, much like Nutty and Theo's skillfull hacker, then they deserve to win.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Aimee has a short attention span.
I forgot about the filming.
They just blew something up.
I need another new chair.

That's more realistic, but I still have a fondness for the original with a jaw that takes up half its total body length: [link]

However, director Joe Wright is unperturbed by the criticisms: "They can go jump in a lake."
I think if I were making a movie whose primary audience is Jane Austen fans, I'd try to be a little more politic when responding to the criticisms of the Jane Austen Society in North America. It's not as if he has any explosions or pole-dancing shots in the trailer to pull in general moviegoers.

Whereas I have been broken and defeated by the stupid and incompetent people.
