Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh! My friend torturing me with the song this morning reminded me: When they opened the prom with "Friday," I really thought it was going to be a terrible-songs theme, especially after Sue's mandate. Then I wasn't so sure when they did "Jar of Hearts" next.....

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

Right there with you.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Jar of Hearts did nothing to dispel the terrible song theme as far as I was concerned.

I spent a minute trying to decide if they would actually go there like that, given that it's a commercially successful current song, good or not. ("You're gonna catch a cold/from the ice inside your soul"??? Seriously???)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

For the few Outsourced fans here, I have a write-up of a Stanford event with Rizwan Manji and Aneesh Sheth.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Friday is the first Glee song I've ever skipped past.

Laga, I wish I'd known it was coming. It earworms me for days and it is irritating.

I don't think a day has gone by that I haven't had Friday in my head since the first time I heard it. It's the monotonal 'fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun' that gets me. I was ripping on it yesterday and then 'Mother' by Pink Floyd came on the radio and I realized there's one note repeated that the whole song kind of hinges on and I started wondering why in the one song it's crap and in the other song it's genius. Maybe that's a question for Buffista Music but I think I'm happier when I can treat Friday like I try to treat the WBC. Ignore it.

Interesting. I totally get it though. For me with Friday it's the the stupid bouncy-ness and "Friday, Friday blah, blah, blah, blah Friday..." on endless repeat in mye head and I just now realized that I get earwormed with Forget You the same way but it doesn't annoy me.

I was just grateful they served up "Dancing Queen" as a palate cleanser at the end, since it's able to overpower almost any earworm and replace the previous song with itself.
