Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Holy shit! Did anyone else catch last night's Colbert where he may or may not have officiated a wedding (Dog, I hope it was real)? Having Mandy Patinkin come out to sing a traditional Jewish wedding song was great, but the opera singer (or whatever she was - it sounded operatic to me) doing "White Wedding" for the first dance; I think I hurt something laughing. It was both beautiful and hilarious - worth the eventual pain (I hope - catching up a night later - I'll find out tomorrow).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just posted that in Natter! Colbert is the best.

And yes, Audra McDonald is an opera singer, although she mostly makes her living on Broadway.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That wasn't specifically a wedding song -- it's a prayer that's said whenever something new is starting. Weddings, but also the first day of any holiday, or seeing a friend you haven't seen in a while, and some people will say it for any sort of exciting thing that doesn't happen too often.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

In my Into the Woods movie dream cast, she plays The Witch.

She's in concert here in a couple of weeks. Yes, I have my ticket.

Whoops, just guessing from the context. But seriously, Colbert's rolodex of possible contributers is beating Joss' by a mile. The people he's gotten to do siily shit on his show is just amazing.

Also, after the Vince Gilligan interview (plus bonus material), I realized who I thought was John Hodgman.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
