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

Now I want to watch that again but I foolishly left home without headphones. Oh, self.

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

I'm in exactly the same position, but I want to watch "Paradigms of Human Memory". Which I'm totally down with buying even though it's on my DVR and I'm obviously going to buy the DVDs (what is this sickness?). However, am I crazy enough to buy a pair of headphones? I don't know if I've ever bought a pair, since phones and iPods started coming with them.

Which probably means it's way overdue for something decent...

Shit! What justification!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Just watched the 2-part paintball finale. How did they do it a second time without making it tired? Daaaaaang.

And Josh Holloway got to say "Son of a bitch!" Which honestly might have been my favorite part.

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

Right?? (The answer is: they switched genres.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I know! I killed myself laughing when the ice cream cone announced the prize. And they at least addressed why Pierce was still in the group. (I'm not sure it was an adequate explanation, but at least they dealt with it, and integrated it into the plot beautifully.)

I was fiddling with my iPod before getting out of my car when I reached home, and I ended up watching almost all of Accounting for Lawyers before I went upstairs.

My whole brain is crying!

Donald Glover is so good at physical comedy without it being OTT.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

Is that the one where they chloroform the guy and then panic? I laughed SO hard at that scene!

Yes! And then Abed's brilliant plan to recover goes so awry...

I'm looking at what he's actually doing, and it should be too much, but it's just not.

I also love how automatically they joined the poplockathon, with no discussion, and there was no time spent planning anything--no rehearsals, no procuring of costume, nothing. They just showed up in their shiny jackets and performed casually coordinated numbers. Fuck me.

Oh lord yes. That was hilarious.
