I'm almost finished with Middlemarch, and I'm just loving it. Her characterizations and depictions of marriage are just phenomenal. After I'm done, I suppose I'll go back to 2312, although it's been kind of a slog. I may need to do some older genre fiction, or re-read Mrs. Dalloway (my favorite) or something instead.…

Yes, we are moving, and I broke my "no new books before the move" to pre-order this one.

Man, where else am I supposed to go for some sweet jams while I'm playing hacky sack? http://songza.com/listen/ha…
KIDDING!!

Mr.Brewman and I have a best-of mix that we've cultivated. The first soundtrack isn't super great, but we really liked the second one. I would recommend removing the album covers if you go that route, otherwise they will ALWAYS come up on iTunes to embarrass you when your friends are over.

I like listening to Songza at work, so I guess I must be pretty fucking lame. In all seriousness, they have some pretty cool playlists. You can browse by genre and such as well.

Doctor Who?

Fucking ramen ninjas. Never Forget!

I feel like Chris O'Dowd should be given the chance to say "bastards" as much as possible in any role he plays, because it's just magical.

Nope, love that song. Love the whole album, actually.

I think this is the happiest I have ever seen him.

My dream for next season is for the three of them to run a detective agency, while everyone else does … something else. Day Drunk Detective Agency, starring Enzo, Damon, and Alaric.

Doesn't she have a new CW show in the works? I assume she "died" here in TVD because of the show, like with Matt Davis and that terrible "Cult" show. Sorry, Alaric, I love you forever, but I could not get into Cult. I'm so happy he's back. They have to bring back Damon, because Alaric needs somebody to day drink with.

Wasn't there an episode where she left the Misfits and joined the Holograms, but then went back to the Misfits at the end? Or am I misremembering? It has been many years….

So, who else out there sent in the mail in order for the Dream Tour cassette after getting Glitter and Gold Jem? I think I may need to put together a playlist… http://totallyjem.jemmagic….

This is all I have ever wanted from the show. When they brought back Jeremy, we were like, "You could bring back ONE person, and instead of bringing back Alaric, you brought back…. Jeremy?!? Anyone else that's been killed off would have been more fun than Jeremy!"

I mean, I guess it could be Daniel?

Man, I still have PTSD about my music taste because of music snobs in college. Whenever anyone asks me what music I like, I freeze up and start stammering. But you know what? I have decided I have decent musical taste, the occasional Bon Jovi power ballad aside, and I'm okay with that. Although Mr.Brewman is not down…

I agree with your top 3. Let's be friends!

My issue with Stories is that I feel a lot of the songs are slight compared to her other stuff. Like all the songs could have used one more pass and a little more work to be as brilliant as her earlier albums.

I would say:
