Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
garlands before ornaments? heresy!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I don't usually like garlands, myself.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I want to read Diamond's Why Sex is Fun.
It's not bad, though I found it drier than Guns, Germs and Steel.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Did anyone else watch Leverage? That was fun, and had a definite Hustle vibe. Also, very slashy.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I was irritated by Guns, Germs and Steel and haven't picked up any of Diamond's stuff since.
I read Collapse, and it was just "humm, OK". GG&S is part of the literature in my World History Survey class. I just find Diamond a little bit irritating, not sure why.
And that comes from a woman whose deepest love is anthropology (OK, and subcultures).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Noah decided to try on my glasses:
Oh my! He's so precious!

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
I was thinking of showing some of the National Geographic episodes of GG&S, but there are some bare breasts in there (in footage of Guinean women making food), and so I feel both hesitant to show it to teenage boys and ridiculously parochial for even worrying about it. But there you go. Parental approval aside, I'm not entirely sure they'd be able to resist the urge to make inappropriate comments. Heck, I had trouble. Boobies! Yes, culturally appropriate, natural, nothing wrong with it at all. But female appendages swinging free!
My inner 12-year-old boy makes it difficult to do my job sometimes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I didn't, but will! Is the one on Tuesday the same one from last night, do you know?
My inner 12-year-old boy makes it difficult to do my job sometimes.
Hee! Also, probably just as well if you're working with outer 12-year-old boys (or similar).
It is cold like woah here. At least it's supposed to warm up tomorrow.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My DVR seems to think it's a different episode on Tuesday. I haven't watched it yet either.
