Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
They do not allow for snow days in the calendar, so unless they get an exemption from the state for some or all of the days, we have to make them up.
They have 2, the Observer seems to think they won't have trouble getting a waiver, but who knows. My teacher friends are about to lose their minds.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Okay, so I just tried Off the Map for the first time. Four minutes in, they lost me.
I just wish the dialogue was less clunky and filled with stereotypes. I really love the cast, so I want to like the show.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is that because of the writing, or your brain protecting you?
I have to admit, I didn't try real hard, in case there was going to be nudity. But I can't even tell if it's worth forwarding to him.

The woman who plays Christina is super impressive. Too bad if it ever gets nominated for actress awards Bonnie Bedelia and Lauren Graham will likely be the focus. I think Mae Whitman and Monica Potter do some pretty heavy lifting.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

If one knows anything about ANYTHING related to first aid or medicine or being in a foreign country, it's pretty annoying. Plus, clunky dialogue. I told Calli we should have a watch-n-bitch.

I was noticing that Christina and Haddie have the exact same speech pattern when they're upset -- talk really fast, high pitch, "like" in between every other word, and starting about five sentences before deciding which one to finish. They've got a lot of the same body movements, too. There are some similar between Sarah and Amber, too. I thought that was really nicely done. They also do a really good job of having all of their characters be actual characters, even the little kids. (Well, Sydney more than Jabbar. Jabbar so far has mostly just been generic kid, which has been annoying me since Sydney is given a lot character.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Parenthood is in a similar zone to FNL for me - really good but I often delay watching because it's almost too emotionally involving.
