My onerous task is going to be HOOKERS &...
No, just compiling a spreadsheet of March celebrity birthdays.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
All I want to do is lie on the couch and read. WHY didn't I put that on my to-do list?
My autofocus list system does have you put this kind of stuff on your list. He says it's stuff you want to do, right? Why not put it on your to-do list. It's helpful in that you do cross stuff off, and then it's clearer where you're spending your time. Plus, then you feel differently about your list, like it's not just a list of things you hate.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Onerous task--MAKING IT THROUGH THE DAY AT WORK. I so don't want to be here, but I have to be all "making a living" and shit.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My Onerous Task is doing laundry, since I am WAH today, and to put it away when it is done.
Also, not yelling HOOKERS AND BLOW at my mother.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

18 fact you might not know about Buffy the Vampire Slayer
I knew most of them. But not this:
2. When she was five, Sarah Michelle Gellar starred in a Burger King commercial that disparaged McDonald’s burgers. She was promptly named in a lawsuit by McDonald’s and had to give a deposition in the case.

Always Anti-fascist!
"Autofocus" is the name of an especially weird Homicide episode...they named a fic archive after it also...it's hard for me to read it anywhere else and not blink.

Choosing phrasing reminiscent of River Tam's is not going to support your argument for your own competence, Charlie.

My onerous task was going to Sephora and spending $60 or $70 bucks. Wait, that was on a different list.
From the onerous list, I need to make some phone calls to cancel my gym and Tivo. And pay a parking ticket. Maybe some other stuff.

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

I knew that one! The issue was that one of her lines was something like, "I never eat at McDonald's," and McDonald's said that this was illegal unless Burger King could prove that she actually didn't ever eat at McDonald's, or something like that. So for a while, she had a contract with Burger King saying that, in order for them not to get sued, she wasn't allowed to eat at McDonald's. Or something like that. I read about it a while ago.

I approve! That's a great idea.

I think I did know this, actually. (Uh, please tell me I'm not the only one? edit: Phew, Hil knew it too!)
