Fun-nee.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
HAR.
I get accused of hoarding things by Margret. Now, this is entirely unfair - electrical items never die, you see, I am merely unable to revive them with today's technology. In the future new techniques will emerge and, combined with the inevitably approaching shortage of AC adapters and personal cassette players, my foresight will pay off and the grateful peoples of the Earth will make me their God. Anyway, never mind that now, because the real point is that it's Margret who fills our house with crap. And I'm not talking about doing so by the omission of crap-throwing-away here, but by insane design. While sorting out the stuff in the boxes, these are some of the things I've discovered that Margret actually packed away at our last house and brought to our new one:
* A dentist's cast of her teeth circa 1984.
* Empty Pringles tubes.
* Rocks (not 'special ornamental rocks', you understand, just 'rocks' from our previous garden).
* Old telephone directories.
* Two carrier bags full of scraps of material.
* Those little sachets of salt and sugar you get with your meal on planes.
* Some wooden sticks.
* Last year's calendar.
And yet, were I to throw her from a train, they'd call me the criminal.
EDITED because I found a funnier one than the one I posted first. Also, formatting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I totally just called three strangers and made two appointments! And left one voicemail. GO ME. I should possibly have made one or two more, but I think that's enough for today.

Um... the Daily Show I watched this morning (held over from 11 PM last night) was definitely new-to-me. Plus, Stewart was making jokes about having hosted the Oscars, which seems to me to be a pretty good indicator of new-ness.

Yeah, last night's TDS was new. Monday's was a repeat though (he was still on a plane coming back from LA). Don't know about Colbert, since I was too tired to stay up that late.

Right, last night's was new, to the surprise of my DVR. Same with upcoming Colberts.

Loving the blue walls, Mr. Scola. They're perfect. Crisp, yet comforting.
With a small Canada break in '75, which was more an extended visit when Dad had to move back up for work reasons, I lived in the same place from 0-18.
Heck, my parents are still there. They've been randomly talking about moving for the last ten years, but I'm thinking they'll never get 'round to it.
My sister, however, had lived in nine places by the time she was 7.
They were more mobile when she was young.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
an abundance for one person, but little enough that sharing is right out.
That's exactly the right amount. You're very wise.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I lived in the same place until I was 15. After that I moved every 2-3 years (including college dorms) until 1999. I just realized I've been in the same wee apartment for 7 years now.
And I still don't have a couch.
I've gotta do something about that. Maybe I catch something after the big High Point furniture show--there are often good sales then.
