If you can find it, Music For Mechanics is a great read.

I was just thinking about how I might be able to pull off the shorty-shorts with fishnets look without looking like a common hooker. I'm not even 30 and I couldn't do it, but she's in her mid 50's and looks dynamite.

I thought she was married to Michael Penn?

Ugh, that's what everyone (fuckin' bike evangelists) tells me I should do. The problem is, I run in to things ALL the time just walking around like a regular old jerk. I know that I'd end up getting doored and becoming a vegetable in a matter of months.

Yeah, I sort of told the guy I was going, and he was really eager to put me on the list, which was sweet of him. I just don't think he'll notice if I'm not there. Not to mention he'd probably be OK with me missing his show to see Ted Leo and Aimee Mann.

They are the neatest.

As this is the AV Club, I knew someone would say this very thing!

If the venues were anywhere near each other, I would. Cambridge and Allston are pretty close, but the public transportation logistics are a total nightmare.

These guys are coming to Boston tomorrow night! I have to decide between their show and a friend's record release party. What should I doooo?

Yup! She is working her way up to be one of my favorite characters.

I felt like I was getting somewhere when I got to thinking about the exchange of truths in this episode. Don tells the truth to Sally, and she accepts it with an "I love you".

I dream of having bright red, yellow and orange Nasturtiums winding their way around my patio, but I seem to kill even the heartiest of plants. How can I make these grow? Should I give up and give the seeds to the…

Probably shouldn't say. If I recall, she was sort of late to the game, becoming a member in '05 or so.

I'm sure it was.

True Story: my college boyfriend left me for a Suicide Girl. Sigh.

I was being facetious, but wasn't he having visions before the crucifixion?

I agree with swanpride, I don't think Ecbert is a "decent fellow" necessarily, but I do think that they are trying to convey that he and Ragnar are two sides of the same coin. I think it's a better way to go to show him as a foil, rather than an out-and-out villain.

Why are you so good to me?

Athelstan's been eating too much of that nasty peasant bread in Wessex. My vote's on Ergot of Rye causing the visions.

From here on in, "Vikings" shall now be called "Everyone Loves Lagertha".
