Oh stewardess?
I speak jive.

The orcs aren't stupid in Warcraft, though. That's Warhammer.

I still play, and though organizing around raiding can be strenuous, it's not a second job by any stretch of the imagination. I have a ton of fun raiding my online pals. It's all about finding the right guild.

She got married.

Goddamnit littlealex, now you've got me playing A Tribute to Jack Johnson again. That song will always blow me away.

"Why not just start picking random AVC Comments posters and asking them about the first five or six songs that appear when they shuffle their iPod?"

MTV
Video may have killed the radio star, but does that mean reality television killed the video star?

His point of view on women is absolutely fascinating.

I agree with TomWaits — Duma Key was absolutely fantastic until all the ghostship bullshit. And here I thought it was actually going to be something *scary*.

I was there, too. Great set, I really enjoyed them. Though I did bemoan the lack of a light show due to it being in the middle of the day.

I don't know what's with the Ra Ra Riot hate. They come from my hometown — Syracuse — and they put on an excellent show when they come back to play. Their album is pretty good, too.

Aww, and I was about to suggest Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods.

Yessssss. Anything to get more people to read it. It's weird, it's strange, it's a bit bloated, but there's really nothing quite like it.

Does anybody actually like In the Aeroplane Over the Sea the first time they listen to it? I've always thought it was the ultimate grower.

So, is "The National Foundation of Send a Dodo Bird To College" a valid non-profit organization?

When I was a YA, nothing effected me more than Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. But then, who hasn't at least read The Golden Compass, if not the whole trilogy, at this point?

Haha, I was going to suggest Game of Thrones. I definitely think it's the best fantasy release in a long, long time. I'd love an excuse to re-read the series so far, especially since rumor has it the next book is actually going to be released this Fall. Cross your fingers.

Yes please on House of Leaves. Anything to get more people to read that book.
