I mean, what, you think you're joining the circus without me?
You can be the Fraser to my Angry Clown.
Dana, if you run and join the circus, will you have to go to circus school and do circus homework?
There's no homework in the imaginary circus!
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I wonder if accountants ever run off to join the circus. Because circuses would need bookkeepers....
Dude, a guy called into Car Talk (I think, it was one of my NPR podcasts anyway) and said he was a clown with the Shriners as an avocation but his day job was IRS agent. People who knew him in either setting apparently wouldn't believe in his other life.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
In an odd convergence, Sean Bean is a voice actor in Oblivion.
t ponders buying Oblivion, whatever it may be, and learning to play it just to listen to Sean Bean's voice
t realizes Sean Bean's voice can be heard on the FOTR and Sharpe DVDs already on shelf at home for much less effort, with the added bonus of seeing Sean Bean
t considers buying Oblivion anyway as gift for DH and seeing how long it would take him to figure out my motivation

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Dana, if you run and join the circus, will you have to go to circus school and do circus homework?
"Hey, man, wanna come out tonight?"
"Can't, man. Look at this homework load: For Professor Bongo I gotta juggle thirteen fish, a torch and a midget by Thursday, I have a fifteen page essay on the uses of custard due tomorrow for Professor Honksalot and Professor Jiggles says my seltzer in the face pratfall doesn't pass muster, so I gotta work on that. I'm swamped, dude."
"Mid-terms are a bitch."

Punishingly Intricate
I would love circus school, but I have no discernible circus skills.
DUDE! That is so not true! I've seen video of you back flipping. Maybe it's not something you can do right now but you could relearn it (at circus school!)
Anyway, I can learn trapeze tricks pretty much anyone can. Especially if you've done some kind of core building exercising (like, yoga)!

home sick - much altered voice due to the sick. I think back to sleep.
the circus seems like too much work. seriously. plus the road. you know, the road ain't no place to start a family.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
you know, the road ain't no place to start a family.
Heh.
In news that's not about circus school (...or is it?), I can't get "Bye Bye Bye" out of my head, and I'm about to start jumping up and down.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I can't get My Chemical Romance's "Teenagers" out of my head, and it has been there since Sunday. Also, I do not recommend googling mouse disposal.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Jesse's earworm has now started my own of "Bye, Bye Love," specifically the Simon & Garfunkel version I was listening to on my car ride Saturday. If I'm lucky, it'll morph into the version from All That Jazz, as sung by Roy Scheider and Ben Vereen. Oooo, there it goes!
I'm through with romance
I'm through with love
[Oh, yeah!]
I'm through with countin'
The stars above

And here's the reason

His lovin' baby
She's through with me...
