I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Watching QI is leading to laughing, which is leading to hacking. No fair. What's the point of being home sick if you can't watch whatever you want?

Yes, I know it's 11PM. I'm still home sick.

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

Justin Bieber a cute 12 year old boy with nicely swoopy hair. He was on SNL last week.

“Not dead yet!”

Likewise, P-C. I'm guessing that's because we aren't 12 year old girls.

Even my twelve year-old girl thinks he's creepy and talentless.

And has unnaturally huge gums.

12 is probably too old to like him, 6 is more like it.

Just think, out there somewhere in the sleeping nation is some little girl who, in thirty years or so, will get hammered in a gay bar (assuming there are still "hammering" and "bars") on her birthday and make out with him. And she'll tell that story for years in any even remotely tangentially related conversation. Just like me with Leif Garrett.

It brings a tear to the eye.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

You people must not be on twitter. He's not particularly different from pretty much every other 16-year-old pop star; the world will not actually end.

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

Sometimes people make out with pop stars and don't tell the story over and over.

I must have seen him when I was trolling EW for Colin Farrell pics. Maybe a story about Colin Farrell would get told over and over. It would depend on how he smelt.

That's a different little girl.

Yes, I guess she is.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Matt, developing vacation plans sounds wise, even though the chainsaw festival sounds unresty. I just hope your job doesn't have a phone number where they can reach you.

Bieber's really only twelve?
