Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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

Do you think it's a reflux thing, brenda? Or muscles or joints?

But there aren't many *new* shows I'm excited about.

I'm very curious about the new series Scorsese is developing for HBO, Boardwalk Empire.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's the new Tom Selleck cop show, with Donnie Wahlberg.

The who with the what now? How did I miss that??

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

How did I miss that??

That I dunno. It's like you're not a crime freak, or something.

Oh! And Tim's show, Terriers. I want to see that too.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

How frustrating! I hope you get to the bottom of it without too much more suffering, brenda. And it's an easy fix.

Ooh, I hadn't heard of Blue Bloods. Intriguing.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Or muscles or joints

It feels muscular. We shall see.

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

What does he have to do with the show? It's supposed to be good.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Go back, brenda. It sounds like asthma or other lung stuff . And it gets worse at night -- they can do things like measure oxygen levels and lung capacity in non-invasive ways. and sore muscles is how it feels.

of course I could be completely wrong because I am not a doctor and don't even play one on tv
