Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

With the mom? I can't remember which was which.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm not sure how I feel about it, yet. I think I like it, but I feel like I'm not quite in the right mindset to fully get it or something. It makes me think "I see where that might be funny" more often than it really makes me laugh...

It makes me say "holy shit, did that just happen?" more than it makes me laugh. Which I appreciate.

Yeah, that's true. Let's see if I can adjust my expectations accordingly.

Compassionately intolerant

I dunno, -t, I'm pretty much with you. I was so excited to watch Louis because CK's "Everything is great, but nobody's happy" routine on Letterman stole my heart.

I watched the episode...maybe it was the pilot...where his daughter's field trip bus breaks down. I didn't laugh at all. It was just so unrelentingly cynical. Granted, that may be what is funny to those with a better developed sense of humor than mine, but it just made me sad.

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

you have to watch the ep where he goes to Alabama (I think). The first half of the episode had me dying. The second half is definitely WTF.

Oh, the plane trip was fantastic!

Every episode I get to the end and think "wait, what? That's the end?" which makes me think I don't have the hang of it.

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

the thing I really really like about the show (and this is not unrelated to the last half of that episode) is that Louis doesn't seem to be homophobic. After seeing so much comedy based on homophobia, I actually am pretty pleased with this.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

He was kind of a dick in his Fresh Air interview, which I tend to pay more attention to. Although, I have to wonder how much is a persona for the media.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That show is pretty great. I can't believe how good his standup is.
