vmarinelli:
I can’t decide if this seems like a load of hippie bullshit or like there might be actual science involved here (or something between). If I weren’t so goddamned anhedonic lately, maybe I could trust myself to make such distinctions with any level of competence. Right now though, even the alphabet seems full of suspicious mush.
Snip…

I'm having one of those ass-hat weeks.
milkglassmao:
Not to be confused with as shat, I do mean ass-hat. Like, no matter what you do you feel like the biggest, brainless idiot that roams the earth, and that if it has been up to you forty thousand years ago to survive in terrible conditions with stealth and ingenuity you’d ultimately fail the species.
See, I thought that feeling was just part of the graduate school experience.
Just...

that Tracy Morgan’s new G-Force is like something that his character Tracy Jordan would do?
I have two scars.
zolora:
One is on the underside of my chin. I passed out in the doctor’s office and fell off the table. It’s the only time I ever had to get stitches.
The other is from an ill-advised navel piercing I got my freshman year of college. I smile and shake my head at Past Me whenever I notice it.
Do you have any scars?
I couldn’t fit this in the answer box.
I have a few chicken pox scars,...
15 TV Shows
pocketcontents:
iainwith2is
So, we’ve had 15 movies and 15 books in recent days. I’m not even go near music - what about TV shows?
I’ll get started on what’s sure to be a contentious list. Not really going for nostalgia, more for stuff that I watch/would watch now.
Now TV I can get behind (I watch way too much TV)
The Simpsons
The West Wing
Chuck
The Venture...
15 Movies
In no particular order
American Beauty
The Departed
The Godfather I & II

I almost included Problem Child on the list, because it did have a big impact on me...

again. This is the second one they’ve destroyed at $80 a pop.
If someone else’s pets destroy your stuff you can at least get some satisfaction - having them pay for the replacement or at least for part of it. But how do I extract $80 worthof anything from my own damn pets?
Yelling at them won’t work - they’re cats (and not terribly bright ones, apparently, as evidenced...

Pope Benedict XVI encyclical letter denounces... →
I will bet quite a lot of money the pope and I don’t agree on very many things, but he’s right about this:
On the part of rich countries there is excessive zeal for protecting knowledge through an unduly rigid assertion of the right to intellectual property, especially in the field of health care.
That’s an important point, and while it isn’t the biggest problem...

Oh, have I mentioned I think my dad is hilariously adorable.
He is. I would also add: “Don’t drive off until you see that she is safely inside the house.”
If I had a daughter, I would greet all of her dates with “Have you seen my shotgun collection? This is my award for when I was a...
I don't know about anyone else's high school...
but CBS’s promo for Big Brother calling it “High School x 1000” does not make me want to watch it more…
I have no idea why
But I really like Craig Ferguson’s Late Late Show. That’s all.
I never read it.
luckyshirt:
I was supposed to read Island of the Blue Dolphins, like many of us were.
…but I don’t think I read a single chapter.
Same with such hits as:
My Brother Sam is Dead
The Cay
White Fang
and others.
And so began my long career of getting by on charm alone.
Which is to say:
I barely made it through the system.
Also: I’m so sorry, Sokeri.
I think I did read The Cay if only...
