Xander: Am I right, Giles? Giles: I'm almost certain you're not. Though, to be fair, I haven't been listening.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

lady Gaga's runes are catchy, but I can also name the artist she was 'influenced' by. Not original.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I for one am quite taken with her catchy runes.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Good lord, I never thought of Newt as a voice of reason.

I'm afraid it reflects more on the wilting of reason than any reformation of Newt.

Alexander has always been pretty sane, but a world in which Newt is a voice of reason is a very strange world.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I think the problem is we live in a world where the comment “It is good to have the president of the United States say to young people across America, ‘Stay in school, study and do your homework’" stands out as remarkably sane and reasonable. It's a pretty unremarkable statement.

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

I think my favorite part of the speech transcript is the bit where he talks about how the country was built by people who started out as students just like you, and didn't quit when things got tough: the people who fought in the Revolution and founded the country; the people who lived through the Depression and fought in WWII; the people who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon; and the people who started Google, Facebook, and Twitter.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Shir, sweetie, you're more than welcome to anything that'll make you happy. That's the one principle guiding me when it comes to my guests.

Oh, Nilly, I was only kidding. As much as the small, persistent part of me wants to do so, a bigger part of me just doesn't want to miss a single moment of the Huppah by posting.

Dude, has your week on Twitter taught you nothing?

That I just don't like it? As I said on Bitches, if you have, by chance, built another sphere of existence, I don't want to do the things I do in this world in the same ways (as in, say, most social networks). It's predictable, hence boring. I wanna be engaged with another-sphere-of-existence activities, and dear God, they don't include the word "poke" in them. Say, boards. I love boards. And CouchSurfing.

Now, I gotta go and email-yell (since she won't answer her phone) my other life insurance agent. That life and work insurance was mostly paid by my ex-employer, and now that I'm unemployed and don't need another life insurance with work insurance, I wanted to freeze it.

That was over two months ago. They still charge me for something I emailed and faxed them not to over two months ago, and every time they say "that's fine". Well, apparently that's not fine. So annoying. I don't wanna pay for their slowness/stupidness.
