You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

A mecha-dildo trumps even a donkey, and doesn't shit on the floor.

Out of context, this made me laugh and laugh. In context too, but I was skimming when I first read it.

I did not have popcorn. Instead I made two separate runs to Trader Joe's to procure goat cheese and avocado (since I had an avocado, but it turned out to be no good) so I could slather those and a little sea salt on some toast. NOM.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Teppy I'm watching Helvetica. It's on Netflix.

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

We've eaten popcorn at Chez Zmayhem and are watching a BBC production of The Wolves of Willoughby Chase which I was able to procure on DVD at a very cheap price.

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

I love the bit in The Wire S2 where Stringer asks his prof for help with his distribution/channel problems.

I meant to say earlier, but I got distracted by all the academic hookers and blow, that that's one of my favorite bits from The Wire. Doesn't hurt that I was getting my MBA when I watched it.

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

Etymology plus a certain Dark Chevalier equals greatest T. Rex cartoon of all time?

(Please also note the origins of the word "chevalier.")

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

Did anyone see (and maybe post) the article in the NYT about how Natalie Portman is a smarty pants? [link]

Eh. The NYT thinks making the semifinals of the Intel competition and having a professor talk you up gives you "serious scientific credentials." I hope that doesn't bleed over into the science section.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

She's got an Erdős-Bacon number! I think that's pretty serious.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I was good and went to bed and fell asleep earlier than usual. Which was great until my sweet daughter called me at 11:00. She is so twitterpated, it is adorable.

Once I got off the phone with her, the upstairs folks were thumping around. I have written a note that I will put on their door in the morning.

I am now WIDE awake. I'm about ready to get up, take a shower and fire up the work computer. Might as well be productive. Maybe. Still deciding.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Ooh, a Fuckzall! (You know, like a Sawzall.)

Oh my god, I am never going to look at a Sawzall the same way again. And I use them pretty regularly.
