I could see them making Jeff a teacher or something, especially given how much the Dean likes him.

I, too, often sit and watch the notifications come in on AV Club. Timing them… watching… waiting…

So you're saying that if Coldplay didn't write "Fix You", you'd be dead by now?

And the second one was totally point blank.

Good to hear. I'm really excited about this album, and haven't really been able to give it a proper listen yet. I loved the first one, so my expectations are high.

This was my question. I'm seeing them in Chicago, and I can't imagine their songs without keys.

I felt like everything was obscured by his digressions. Anytime I felt like I knew what was happening, I'd have this constant nag in the back of my mind that made me unsure of myself. I was just having a hard time discerning what the events that were unfolding. What was real and what was not, maybe?

When I read a book, I don't want to be entertained only "every now and then". That sounds like some low praise.

That's exactly it. I just couldn't figure out what the hell he was describing in most of the book. It's so hard to discern the most mundane details of what is happening to the characters. I remember reading paragraphs multiple times over and still feeling clueless.

I like to think that I'm always up for a challenging read, but I was definitely not deriving enough pleasure from this book to warrant moving forward.

Jeff Bridges is who I pictured in my head as I read the book. Technically, I was picturing The Dude, I guess.

This was the first Pynchon book I read. Then I tried Gravity's Rainbow. Then, I quit Gravity's Rainbow 200 pages in. Not sure I'll ever finish it.

I was mostly disappointed by the vocals. That just doesn't sound like the old Timberlake falsetto. Sounds like he hasn't been keeping the pipes in shape or something.

Ryne Samburg is my favorite baseball player.

Definitely gotta go to the self-titled album next. I personally wouldn't recommend Forgiveness Rock Record, because that was such a huge disappointment to me after those other 3 albums.

I have been trying to listen to more music in this particular zone. Albums will often click for me in this zone for the first time. It's a very similar mindspace to being high, in terms of how the music registers in my brain.

I was not a huge Season 3 fan, mostly because I found Faith to be a very annoying character. The attitude, the terrible "bad girl" acting by Dushku, the lines like "Yo, B!" Yuck.

And now look at you!
