Ugly dork comedy. Whatever.

Really? Because I heard John C. Reilly interviewed on Fresh Air last week and it sounded awesome. If it's actually humiliation comedy I won't be able to watch it...

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

Doesn't sound that way, except on a meta label. I just feel Judd Apatow's been tugging at my sleeve blank-faced "just this guy I met online and he's really funny" movies. It worked with 40 Year Old Virgin, but frankly I'm feeling a touch overtugged righ now.

Tommy is the assumption that the wall is spelled "dike"? Because I've always spelt it "dyke" and apparently the Brits are A okay with the whole thing.

There's a clip of Reilly doing "Rehab" (in character) on YouTube that is pretty awesome.

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

(Why have I suddenly gone from "can't stay awake" to "can't sleep"? It's disconcerting.)

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

"The goal is to encourage students to be creative in an era when funding for the arts has been slashed to the bone. “We’re like a finger in the dyke,” says Paula Owen, president of the Southwest School, about the program," - San Antonio Express-News, November 23.

exactly...I'm putting this on the wall in my office area at the school.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm mildly concerned with Matilda's ultra-tininess.

I know a couple of little boys who are pretty short, and the selling point for them was that their dads could carry them longer than their friends' dads could carrry them.

So, I accidentally knocked a small cake of soap into my toilet this morning. It did not float. It sank to the bottom of the bowl, and was out of sight and out of reach. (The toilet brush was just pushing it further back and I was not sticking my hand down in there.) So, being half asleep still, I thought, "I'll flush the toilet and that will force it to float up." Um, no. I could hear it clanking against the pipes as it went down the drain. So Buffistas, will this soap clog my drains? How long until it melts? What should I do?

ETA: Would you believe google has an answer for this? [link]

In part two of Ask the Buffistas:

Do you think I can get through airport security with four strings of twinkle lights in my carryon? Or should I pack them in a checked bag?

Is this thing on??

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I would go for the checked bag, Sue.
