Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Hey Ple, the most recent Teen Titans introduces Kid Flash. He's sweetly Bart-like.

And who forgot to tape it when she went out last night? The dimmest girl in all of Ohio, that's who.

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

I don't think Cask of Amontillado had much atmosphere either. It was just very...there.

I also realised that although I know of Jekyll and Hyde, I'd never read the story and had no idea how the narrative was structured. That one I liked, although I can't imagine what it would have been like unspoiled.

I really liked The Time Machine, but now have to hate the movie.

What else did I listen to? Oh, The Fall of the House of Usher was dumb. I spent most of it wondering how many times some oh-so-clever music writer had used it to title an article about Usher, and whether Usher would ever use House of Usher as an album name.

Poe really had a thing about being buried alive, as far as I can tell.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's tragic, 'cuz god knows they never rerun Teen Titans eps.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Back from a breakfast and shopping trip with Kat & Lori which was, as you might imagine, awesomely fun. We all did very well in the acquiring on-sale consumer goods department.

Trust my rage

NCistas, I have a directions question. I'm going to Duke tomorrow. Do you all suggest 15-501 through Chapel Hill or I-40 to 147 (I think that's the highway). I need to be there at 1:00 pm.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

All this would have been fine and eye-rolling, except that PAUL forgot my birthday, too.

Just be glad none of your friends' little brothers paid a dollar to see your underwear that night.

I have so many unmatched trouser socks that it's kinda freaking me out. This is some sort of payback for me very rarely losing single normal socks, I bet.

I mean, I don't remember ever buying this many pairs -- I must have 7, 8 single trouser socks, all in need of mates lying in that drawer. Only one matched pair, period.
