Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

If I'm frustrated about something, I tend to have dreams in which I'm fighting with my parents or brother because they become complete assholes. I hate those dreams. Ditto the trying to get into the shower, but things keep thwarting me. Usually plumbing issues. I'd really like to know why plumbing disasters feature so frequently in my bad dreams. It's kind of goofy. Fear the leaky pipe!

I've used beans and diced potatoes in place of meat.

I'd like to see a diagram of that photon splitting experiment. I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how anything is traveling back in time. I didn't have time to really examine the article though.

I'm curious as to how they'll know they sent it back in time, instead of just destroying it.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I blame time-traveling photons.

Um, I think they think they'll be able to tell because of the quantum entanglement with the other photon.

So that's what kids are calling it these days.

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

I dreamt that Bill Clinton hit on me. And the big dog was way wicked charming, too. It was part of a longer dream where we moved into a house in some beach town which was owned by someone running for Governor (hence Clinton being there) and it was being filmed for a speech. The Clinton stuff was, sadly, a small part of it--I spent almost allof the dream cleaning the house. How pathetic is that?

Because books.

My weird celebrity dreams have very often been about Jon Bon Jovi and Brooke Shields. Shields I get because when I was a kid, she was a kid, and I had a kind of schoolgirl crush on her (we totally coulda been BFF!), but Bon Jovi? I don't listen to Bon Jovi, and I've never even seen Moonlight and Valentino. But there he's been, at least three different times, two of them kissing me.

Which didn't suck. I mean, he is cute, in a kind of golden, shaggy way.

What is even happening?

Okay, Robin, you're dreaming about the Democrats cleaning house, and you want to see them return to the Oval Office, and will do what it takes to get them there, even if it means sacrificing personal happiness.

AmyLiz, your mind is trying to work through the fact that you've seen all the classics. You know every line: Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink Even Saint Elmo’s Fire. You rocked out to Wham! Not a big Limp Bizkit fan, thought you'd get a hand on a member of Duran Duran.

Now you're wondering: where's the mini-skirt made of snake skin; and who's the other guy that's singing in Van Halen; when did reality become T.V.; what ever happen to sitcoms, game shows.

On the radio was Springsteen, Madonna (way before Nirvana). There was U2 and Blondie, and music still on MTV. Your two kids in high school they tell you that you're uncool, 'cause you're still preoccupied with 19...19...1985.
