Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm trying to figure out when in any of this I get to unwind and focus on my writing, which are the two things I most want to do in any given weekend.

It's my understanding that, once a person has kids, you don't always get to do what you want with your weekend. Which is precisely why I'd be a bad parent.

Because books.

Oh, I missed all the Friends love! Those are a couple of my favorites -- the quiz one with Ms. Chanandler Bong is my all-time favorite. "I rule at lightning rounds!"

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I've never seen an episode of Friends. Actually, any sitcom made in the last 20 years? I've probably never seen.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

"Monica and I had a grandmother who died. NAME THAT GRANDMOTHER!"

"Nana?"

"She HAD A NAME."

Always Anti-fascist!

I like Chandler and Jill Goodacre waiting for the ATM. And anything with "Smelly Cat" Yemen still makes me laugh, even when it shouldn't. Jilli, why? Not spooky enough? Cause I could see that.

Nope. I just got out of the habit of watching TV after I moved out on my own, and didn't watch any show with regularity until Pete dragged me into watching the X-Files. Another friend called me on the night of the Buffy premier and ordered me to turn it on.

I'm waiting for Pushing Daisies to be released on DVD, and then I'll catch up with that.

There ought to be another gothy sitcom(with all props to the Addams.) There's a baby goth in Bobby's class on King of the Hill a few times.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My favorite is when Ross is trying to get the sofa upstairs. "PIVOT! PIVOT!" You can tell the actors are all cracking up. Makes me giggle even to think about it!

It was because of this episode that JZ would yell "Pivot! Pi-VOTT!" at Matilda when she was switching breasts for breastfeeding.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Daisy! When are you coming out here again??

As soon as I can figure out when Jon and I can get there. We talked about it not too long ago. I'll have to bring it up again next week. I talk about it all the time. In fact after Diablo Cody won her award, we were talking about "Candy Girl"-the book she wrote about stripping, and I told Jon "You know where I got that book?" Without even looking up and as if it were the answer to everything, he said, "San Francisco."

Yemen still makes me laugh, even when it shouldn't.

"When we get to Yemen, can I stay with you?"
