I remember seeing this in a movie theater in Fort Collins, Colorado, a few weeks before my wedding. I was with a friend who was spending a long, lonely summer interning at the alt-weekly in town, and the two of us just needed something to do. I was working at a small-town newspaper a few hours away, so I spent the

Don't force yourself to like anything on my account! Except for Deadwood. That show will make you a better person.

Libby and I have devoted an entire wall of our apartment to the series' multiple timelines.

I am just looking forward to getting to build something again. I remember the kind of heady rush of not quite knowing what TV Club was, then defining that, a heady rush that's gotten harder to feel as it's become an institution. I am probably a better builder than maintainer, and I'm excited to get back to what I do

It was a pleasure to know of you, Cookie.

I am enthralled.

Yeah. On first.

The bomb is right where you left your love.

TV Club review: The Mad Men piece on "Lady Lazarus." I never hear this one come up, but I remember the high I got from writing it live.

When I was a kid, my grandfather and I would go on missions to find owls in the woods out behind his house. We would very rarely find them, but when we did, it was always special. Since then, I think I've spent my life looking for owls. *memoir title*

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

I am very glad I tried tabletop gaming, and I highly recommend it in both its RPG and board game forms. That said, it's been months since I had any sustained gaming excitement.

1. Traffic, Out Of Sight, King Of The Hill, The Informant! and Ocean's 12, in roughly that order. Might swap Magic Mike in there.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhh… sure!
