Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I would get rid of our cable TV were it not for two things: the Tour de France and the Olympics. Anyone know if there's a way to watch those online?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've been seeing promos for wall-to-wall Olympics coverage online, but I think it's through the cable company.

I feel like Jeremy Renner had a fair amount of buzz around The Hurt Locker, but only in certain circles, I'm sure. Also I saw The Town, and might not have remembered he was in it!

Yeah, I checked NBC, and you can get everything streaming! If you have a cable subscription.

Because the world is bullshit.

Also, my concert went well! For values of "my" that include 200 other singers and an orchestra. And a guest conductor who was that guy from I forget what country in Africa that started an orchestra there.

Thrive to spite them

NBC is streaming all the Olympics. BUT you have to subscribe to a cable package that includes MSNBC and CNBC.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I didn't remember the name of the cute guy who played Penn, and other than that had never heard of Jeremy Renner before The Avengers.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I weirdly assumed Jeremy Renner was in the Avengers because Nathan Fillion was not avalable. But I did like him in the teevee show with Amber Tamblyn

FTR, this guy, Armand Diangienda, from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

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

Is there a preferred verb for that sentence, Jesse, or can I go with whatever?

I wish there were a sticky notes application for life. Or I should up my use of actual sticky notes. Like, when I set the DVR to record a particular episode of L&O at 3AM, what was I thinking? That browser window open to the google search for "attack squirrel"? What led up to that? Age, medication, life, all three--the toll is definitely being taken.

My grocery store has a sushi bar now. Mmm, dragon roll for dinner.

Also, I drove behind an Avengers fan on the way home. License plate said AVNGRS and the tow hitch was covered by a tiny Captain America shield.
