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.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

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.

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.
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!)

Hmph. My bank is interfering with my ability to knock out my tasks, by not letting me log in.

I'm trying to cancel my Zipcar membership but their phone system has no way to get through to a person short of reporting an accident. But I did get an email address and sent an email saying I want to cancel, so I'll count it.
