Seriously dude, how'd you get tenure?

Probably a terrible theory re: Jacob/MIB
I just rewatched The Incident and had some new thoughts about Jacob's relationship to the Man In Black. Originally I thought that they were both manifestations of the island's mystical qualities (kind of like the characters in Sandman), but watching it again made me rethink

Vampire Weekend
A band we can all agree on!

Just wait a week…Teen Drama is fucking incredible

When they ask me about this project
I'll just smile and say something vague

No Twin Peaks! Where's Lucy's Vitametavegamin pitch! I'm outraged!

I liked fun. a lot, but I didn't think it was quite as good as Dog Problems

Jameson and Ginger Ale! An unstoppable combination

She came to my college in 05 or 06 and was really funny

But then there will be no comments at all!

Black Swan
I haven't seen anyone mention Taleb's Black Swan Theory, but it kind of makes sense in context of the episode. A Black Swan is an event that is a surprise, has a major impact, and is then rationalized afterwards as if it was expected. Its a pretty random reference for Curb to drop, but I thought about it as

Love fantasy baseball (since I follow baseball much more than football anyway) and I'd definitely be interested in doing that too. I've only done roto, but I've always been curious about how head to head would work.

Yeah, Jeter's average defense is helped by the fact that he's such an offensive advantage at one of the most toughest positions to get production out of. That said, three Golden Gloves is a little excessive and if he wins MVP over Mauer I'll tear my hair out.

Can't wait! Should be a lot of fun

Its got to be Breaston, facing the shitshow that is the 2009 Carolina Panthers (full disclosure: I'm a Panthers fan, so I'm a little biased from watching their painful season). Their numbers may be a little inflated from playing Washington, TB, and Buffalo in the last three weeks, but their defense is extremely weak

I'd be interested as well

Awesome Fridays
Don't forget The Soup, my favorite part of Fridays (well, televised). I also admit to having a soft spot for Psych, but I understand that a lot of people find Shawn annoying.

Charlotte's monologue definitely sounded like she was describing one of the best episodes of Lost. Its strange given how good this show has been about showing and not telling us crucial bits of information that something like this gets relegated to quickly tossed-off monologue in an already jam packed episode.

I feel like to qualify, the love story shouldn't turn into creepy, abusive, co-dependent obsession…
