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.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Where are you watching? Is it on the tv?

I wish I had a bigger tv just for this. With HD.

eta: NBC. It might start at 8 pm local, wherever your local is.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sara! Rock! Thanks!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm beind and maybe missed that, but are those actually light-up ancient drums? So fun!

(I was supposed to be taking a nap before a women's sabre all-nighter. Not happening.)

(US women are 3 of the top 4 in the rankings; 2 of the 3 are old clubmates of some friends of mine. So what if it's the time of year when I don't sleep?)

I know! It pays off that it's a small damn sport -- it's not like we're anywhere near the same league as the top people, but they're all at 2 degrees through clubmates, or refereeing, or coaches we know in common, or whatev. You just don't *know* people in more popular sports in the same way.

Freaky blob birds.

The symbolism in the production is interesting. Idealized and problematic given the politics, but interesting.
