Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I've never learned to drive a stick shift. I am, at heart, shiftless.

Yes, the plan would be to learn to drive stick, and get in better shape, and do a lot of watching old races and learning geography and shit.

Only I doubt we'd be exciting enough as a team to get chosen. Roommates? Meh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You'd have to be really gay.

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

I suggest you apply as a gay Asian doctor twin teamed with a different twin who is a gay cheerleader and a single mom. You team up because your twins are dating.

Hmm. I guess I would have to go back in time to become a twin (and possibly Asian and/or a cheerleader??)

Somehow "we're roommates! We went to the same high school but never met because she was six years behind me, and she went to prom with my brother! And I'm gay! And she's straight! And a lawyer!" doesn't have quite the same oomph.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

On the bright side, you could have "Not Dating!" as the slug line for your team.

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

Man, this whacked out religious cult going on in Survivor is just so beyond crazy.

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

Yeah, it really makes this season kinda a bummer.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yeah, I might not go that far, Nora, but it certainly makes the season weird to watch. I'm at the point where I am not really rooting for anyone and I'm puzzled by Coach's religious views - this seems different from his previous views.

I kind of feel like I should have stopped watching maybe 6-8 weeks ago. I effectively stopped watching X-Factor and I keep up through my entertainment blogs and I kind of wish I had done the same for Survivor. The survivor wikipedia entry is pretty good.

The finale is 4 days away, so I guess I will buck up.
