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.

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

I have to say, I'm having a lot of fun wearing these new boots. They're a bit too too for the average work day, but fuck all that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

If it helps, Allyson, Sullivan got schooled on Bill Maher over the weekend.

BTW, Allyson, FWIW I think the Kitty Genovese thing has been modified over the years. I believe social researchers no longer think that people stood by and did nothing, rather the tenants in the building did not recognize what they were hearing due to acoustics, etc.

Allyson, great letter. I'm gonna have my kids read it. I'm so happy that I know one of them is a fireman. He already runs toward fires, for reals. I want to say the rest of us are.

Haven't gone to Sullivan's blog and right now I really don't want to.

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

Yeah, also that he dragged her a pretty far distance, so a lot of people heard something, then looked out the window, and by that point there wasn't anything to see in their line of vision, so they figured it was nothing and went back to whatever they were doing. There was a bar on that block, so yelling on the street wasn't unusual.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

"This American Life" this weekend is kind of awesome.

Part 2. Part 2 is focused on a gay young Mormon man in Utah. I will leave it there for the description because the whole audio must be heard. I literally squealed in the car while driving at least 3 times.

Especially during the part where Ira Glass says, almost inaudibly, (I had to rewind to catch it again) "Oh my God" after a particular confession from the interview subject. I have never heard Glass say such a thing and thing is? I said the SAME thing about then too!

For the record, I have no idea what pop culture reference you guys are making.
