Yeegh! Not good at all.

I know and bad timing with the Xmas shopping to do. I have Gap and Old Navy discount cards to use!

I just checked my account online and nothing has been charged to it that I didn't charge.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

If there aren't any charges to dispute, Sue, I bet you'll get a new card and new number pretty quickly. Credit card companies want you to shop for the holiday too!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And the envelope had been opened and taped up again. Off to cancel my card...

Yikes!

I just put it together that the fact that I'm off the credit card offer lists for five years (after the Identity Theft Situation) means I won't get 0% rate offers, which is kind of a bummer, but eh.

As a frequent loser of my Visa card, they do usually come fairly quickly.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I know the House quote for the same reason Jessica does, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

Okay, that's not true, but I'll admit it anyway.

I had sushi and girl scout cookies.

I went for Jack in the box, so I could get curly fries. Maybe sushi for dinner.

There's a ton of classical stuff I only know from pop culture sources, and I'm OK with that.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I know the House quote for the same reason Jessica does, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

I don't watch House, but I know the concept for the same reason, as well. There's no shame. Actually, musical theater is responsible for a lot of my extra-cirricular education, with Looney Tunes filling in the rest of the gaps.

edit: Gen-X x-posty with Jesse!

The Simpsons is also a font of pop culture references. My friend and I watched the Graduate last year, and during the wedding scene, I was like, "Oh, this is where that Simpson's scene is from!" (When Mr. Burns and Grandpa Simpson are fighting over Marge's mother and Grandpa S. Interrupts her wedding. "Mrs. Bouvier! Mrs. Bouvier!")

FNL is moving to Wednesdays at 8 Eastern.

Hmmm, doesn't really help me out.

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

Just goes to show that all the things you think obvious never are.

I figured the Biblical reference was one that if not in pop culture almost independent of the Bible (like the 3 wise men (they are, aren't they?)) that most people would know it anyway--in a country where "In God We Trust" is on the money (it is, isn't it?) I forget where the line falls.
