Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Okay, just off the phone with a physician's group. My current health insurance is FILLING ME WITH RAGE, which is maddening and bad.

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

Curse you, darkness!

Did that help?

It's really better if you light a candle, Brenda.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

You should see a doctor about that.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

In fact, it says 7:00. I don't know how to fill that in.

It's an error in the puzzle. The clue should be ".:.."

Just enter 7:00

Thanks, Brenda! I'd love to see a doctor about it. hmm.... if only the insurance company weren't run by monkeys eating sushi and smoking crack.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Joe Klein is kind of an ass.

The dedication of the MLK memorial is making me cry. Someone make a funny, quick!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

My daytime goal is to eventually move from the bedroom to the living room. Big goal, huh?
Hey, it's the biggest thing I accomplished today. Oh, and I shot the cat and drugged myself.

My boss's dog (who spends most days at the office) has learned that whenever she hears the Windows shutdown music, it's time to go home. So she gets all excited as soon as she hears that music.
Pavlov's puppy!

My cat gets all excited when she sees me take out a CD to put into the computer because she knows the CD tray will be opened and she can then try and stop it from closing (she's gotten her paw caught lots of times, but it doesn't smash close like a door, but just holds the paw in place until I can convince her to remove it).

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

My clothes don't fit. I am sad. The newer lower jeans waistline makes the old tops look short, and although many of them can close around my lower torso, the boobular/shoulder area presents quite a challenge.

This lovely leopard print almost sheer top I wore yesterday looked pretty presentable, but when I went to take it off it got stuck at the top of my right bicep.

I hate saying goodbye to clothes, and I know my size and weight wavers. So they stay, making me sad with their inaccessibility.
