Same. And I actually really enjoy Brienne's journey for that very reason. His descriptions of the aftermath of the war on the peasants and smallfolk were incredible. A great counterpoint to all the fighting in the previous books.

*Thar be spoilers here*

For me it's the Doctor Who theme, and occasionally the lyrics to Mouserat's "5,000 Candles in the Wind."

It's Blownton Abblack.

Man, I love Jesuits. The ones I have met have been so incredibly honest about the nature of their faith and the institution of the Church. Truly an awesome group.

Yea, I thought about that after I posted. There are a bunch that are well ahead of the US or Western Europe.

I think congregants play the same role as a ship full of passengers trying to turn a cruise ship with oars. It'll happen, but it will take a very long time for such a massive, lumbering organization to change course. There's so much institutional momentum, especially after the last two conservative popes, that any…

I think Netflix should forget about resurrecting ancient, overblown sitcoms created by overhyped, middling writers.

Oh man…too many.

MIX SOME OF MY BLEACHED HAIR IN WITH THE DONKEY SAUCE AND POUR IT OVER MY SLOW ROASTED FINGERS. TOTALLY RADICAL.

I got this for Christmas from my inlaws. I requested it and they thought I was joking. I haven't cooked anything from it, but once I get a spare weekend evening, I'm going to cook the crap out of some aurochs.

He looked at my wife, and said "Don't slap me. Don't slap me." I think he was shocked that he got called on it. Nothing after that, and the rest of the breakfast was pretty pleasant on our end of the table.

Yes. That's the plan. I'm stuck where I am because of grad school and work, but the plan is to move after I graduate and hopefully find a job elsewhere. I think some distance would be good for everyone.

My favorite flavor is Jezeberry, which is streets ahead of xoJam.

Try Googling "zerg rush"

That is a veritable fortune in sidewalk money.

Theatrical or Director's Cut? I heard great things about the Director's Cut.

"The first Star Trek episode aired closer in time to the ratification of the 19th Amendment—guaranteeing women in the US the right to vote—than to today."
