There's also that bit where i'm pretty sure they tried to have children and couldn't. They bounce back from it, but it's still pretty heartbreaking.

So when Jenny referred Maria to her "brother" i immediately thought "Oh god no, it's going to be Ben Schwartz, run Maria!" That the real casting was somehow an even worse sign about the character than i feared is a true accomplishment.

Oh, like "¡que rico!" sure. I was mostly thrown off by the overall sentence structure there i guess. And hey, until god shows up with some golden tablets, i figure any given language is defined by the way people speak and understand it, slang or no.

Meanwhile i'm kind of unsettled by the dead-eyed stare of the "enthusiastic dancing over cell phone network" / "brings unicorn to job interview" woman.

Sorry, never figured that out myself. You're unlikely to do anything that will unpredictably lead to their deaths, but they might also just die for no reason regardless of what you do. Like people before medicine, but moreso.

Well someone had to do it, and it's a good bet your replacement would have been worse.

I started reading A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. I can already picture how much a lot of people must (understandably) hate this book, but it broke the other way for me so far.

I actually put "Et Ego Arcadia" on someone's wedding guest book once. In my defense, i had been drinking to deal with the crippling social anxiety of attending a wedding when i did.

Hey, a lot of fiction counts too! Sure, Twilight isn't exactly Being Mortal, but if you're comparing ¡Adios America! and War and Peace it comes out a bit different.
