4 doors is a lot of doors for $2500.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
They don't have to have died in 2007. Just be dead and have influenced 2007.
Madeleine L'Engle and Molly Ivins popped in my head too.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
2007 Influence: William Henry Hartnell was the first actor to play "The Doctor" on the longest running Science Fiction Television show in History: Doctor Who!
Yeah, the criteria seem poised to inform only the things he likes, at totally abritrary remove, unto eternity.
By this qualification, Ada Lovelace, who has been dead for 200 years, is the most influential person of 2007: without her, we would not have the iPhone!
Marie Curie! Without her, glow-in-the-dark watches would be totally unknown to us! (Not to mention a bunch of other things.)
The women who posed for the Statue of Liberty (IIRC, she's a sculptor's mom's head is pastede onto sculptor's wife's body, yey) -- way relevant to 2007, because the Statue of Liberty is still intact in New York Harbor!

That car immediately made me think of that Pushing Daisies episode.

Jilli, I just bought a GCS shirt! (Long-sleeved black w/pink sharp bat. Squee!)
Yaaaaay! Everyone, follow Teppy's lead!
(What? Hey, I want to see everyone wearing GCS shirts.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Adrienne Shelley leapt immediately to my mind.
Waitress does seem to be on a lot of Top 10 lists.

HA! No, we do not. Even tho' some people have asked for them.

Punishingly Intricate

Yeah. Why was 2005 all about King Kong? I mean I know there was that one movie but did it really influence anything else that happened that year? Not in my experience. And I generally experience kind of a lot of entertainment.
sarameg, from a while back, if you want a recommendation for a tax guy I have a great one! Pretty reasonable and easy to talk to. And near enough to you that you could, say, meet him on your lunch break. And that is exciting on you gettting to be in the room when your friend's baby is born!!! How old is the child you'll be watching? How do you think she'll react??? (I'm sure they've prepped her and all but, still, it would be a strange/awesome experience for a kid.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Fuck. Like a half hour ago, I really thought it was 4pm. Not so much. I need a serious nap.
