Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Home carbonated water with a packet of True Lemon stirred in.

I usually squirt lime juice into my homemade fizzy water. Mmm.

The status is NOT quo.

meara, I'd love to see you while you're in LA as well. Maybe we'll end up with a little LAista night.

That would rock, if not this time, one of the LA visits.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh Jilli, sorry it's been such a hard day. But I promise you your father knows you have been holding him in your thoughts all day.

But I know what goes into egg nog, and it's not all that different from a rich cinammon and nutmeg ice cream WITH BOOZE.

Clever ita, very clever.

I made lime cordial! Which means gimlets were had, and yum!

Jilli, I missed your post earlier. I'm so sorry that today has been hard. Many long distance hugs.

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

Avengers cast talks about female-lead action movies.

EW: So you think the problem is just too much focus on the sexuality of female superheroes?

Johansson: Yeah, I think they’re always fighting in a bra, so while it might be exciting for a still photo, it’s ridiculous. One of the most exciting thing about [The Avengers,] is that in my opening scene the first thing you see is my character getting punched in the face. Everybody’s like, ‘Damn, it’s nice to see a girl get the sh-t kicked out of her–

Jackson: [Interupting] They also want to know where you get that no-bruise make-up.

Whedon: Wait, you need to let her finish this thought, or this is going to transcribe really badly.

Johansson: [Throws arms up] And then Sam Jackson talks more about the g-string!

Jackson: No! F–k no! I’m in one of the best woman-action-movies ever f–king made — The Long Kiss Goodnight.

Downey: Damn right.

Jackson: Geena Davis f–king kicks ass in that. She is totally dope in that one.

Johansson: There are good ones. And Geena Davis is the perfect woman to be that.

Jackson: They just had no idea how to market that f–king movie — at that time. [The 1996 movie -- written by Iron Man 3 filmmaker Shane Black -- underperformed at the box office, but has since become a cult favorite.]
