Keep fighting the good fight, @avclub-48c0b3cf0c62e40eeff5a9b07a63d953:disqus .  And rest easy knowing that you've had an effect on the world, even if just a small one — I'll never be able to look at that third face without wondering about its sudden gigantism.

You're so right.  There is a FANTASTIC movie to be made from the source material.

I just read the magazine articles last week, and holy shit!  What an incredible read.  (Also, what an incredible story.  How is even possible that that shit happened??)  I haven't seen any commercials or trailers for this movie, but it's dismaying to hear that the victim is being portrayed as a bad guy (does that also…

Thanks for pointing this out first — I didn't want to have to be a lone pedant/obsessive Patton fan bringing it up.

I was Nicely in a summer "pre-college enrichment" program that my parents sent me off to in high school.  I did the musical theater course, and at the end of the summer got a little grade/evaluation for my participation.  The director noted that, no matter how early in the morning our rehearsals were, I always sang…

Have a fantastic afternoon!

Wow!  Paper-crafting is something I've never really even considered — that sounds so cool!

@avclub-9a3fe1f228aea0bc3b5c0da332c3fb64:disqus Oh my god, the people who are actually retiring who tell me how sad they are to be leaving work, and how they have no idea how to fill the lonely hours ahead of them… GAH!  I would happily trade places with anyone who is not psyched about retiring.  That's just an…

My time is already fairly full of quilting projects, gardening, photography (nothing too fancy — I'm a "pictures of cats and flowers" kind of gal), and cooking, but I'm totally going to clear some space in the calendar (and somewhere in the kitchen) for homebrewing.  I've said this a few times in the past and not…

Oh god, the too-many-hobbies problem.  I'm only 36, but I'm already counting the minutes until I get to retire.  There is waaaay too much shit I'm working on at home, and this whole "job" thing is getting in the way.

That's awesome news!  Congratulations!!

That's so pretty!  And totally powerful!

What your ipod is telling me is that I want to be listening to Fantomas right now.  "Cape Fear" is one of my extreme short-list faves.

I feel like I've been to Roatan because it used to be on, like, every second episode of House Hunters International.  When will those people learn that just because they've bought a house in their favorite vacation destination, that doesn't mean all of their friends are constantly going to be visiting.  HHI person,…

It was my favorite too.  So damn catchy!  You can sing along on the first listen!  I also really love "The Curious One".

When I moved into my office here at work I inherited the previous tenant's jade plant.  It's a fairly large plant and the window is fairly small, so I immediately set to work trying to kill it, just to maximize the natural light at my desk.  Nine years later, the stupid plant is three times bigger, and none the worse…

That should definitely work!  Or so says my dead-body freezer full of frozen porkstuffs…

Hi LJo!

Nice work!  Pelican is my go-to "I don't know what to listen to while I'm at work" music.  I have a little speaker at my desk and have something playing just barely audibly all day.  The other day my boss was yammering away about something (work?  Maybe?  His mouth was moving, but I don't listen.  Maybe this is why I…

Holy shit, that would be the best Admin Day EVER.
