I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't think they are a couple!

Because books.

There are places I won't go in my imagination when it comes to characters from childhood, but I'll say this: I think they'll always live together.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I love this New Yorker cover:

Wow. That actually made me tear up just a little.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The alleycat that I've been trying to get used to me for weeks now finally decided I'm a friend after being bribed with some chicken from my lunch this morning. Though he was later disgruntled that the tomato I set down to pet him didn't smell edible.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That's fantastic. Although in my head Bert's head would be on Ernie's shoulder.

But how would it FIT?

So, I could possibly program my DVR from here directly, but instead I'm going to ask you people to remind me to watch the PBS show about the revival of Annie tonight: [link]

That's a really good point, Jesse. I like her, too.

I can see how it might be a little less than celebratory to be represented by Muppets in that way, too, when there are plenty of flesh and blood couples who might have been pictured.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So I'm on a train right now that will take me to the Amtrak station. I'm on my way to San Francisco!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

What day do you arrive, tommy? Where are you staying? How planned-up are you already? I MUST KNOW THESE THINGS.
