Or, if, like me, you own it, you might do a little dance.

Illusion of Gaia is awesome, and I hadn't thought about it in probably 15 years. I think I own it, actually.

Hey, my shitty indie band ALSO split four years ago!

I, too, enjoy that particular television program.

Everyone's mom loves DiNozzo. Except mine.

Jesse Camp. Jesse Starr is, based on what happened when I googled him just now, a gay porn star.

I am pretty sure this song will never not give me chills. And the video is very hard to watch. Hall really does nail it.

He's more of a Mussolini I think. Still a fascist, but not, you know, Hitler.

The Phantom Menace WAS risky in some ways. It was also bad.

Never seen anything like that before.

In academia (at least the social sciences and humanities) there is a whole genre of person who does nothing but this. You can be having an interesting conversation about some idea or theory or phenomenon, and they will INEVITABLY try to steer the conversation toward their own theories or work. Usually the giveaway is…

The real problem with this shit is for the actual vegetarians. I am engaged to one, and people frequently try to serve her fish or put fish/oyster sauce into otherwise-vegetarian food because people like this have given them the idea that vegetarians eat fish.

Going to see Nada Surf on Saturday night! Such an underrated band, their label had no idea what to do with them after "Popular". If "Icebox" had been the follow-up single, their career arc would have been entirely different, I suspect.

Would you say that for the life of you, you cannot remember?

Utz. 110% Utz. Like, I'm obsessed with salty snacks and I've never had another chip that even comes close.

Utz is the king of all chips. Nothing else comes close.

I mean, I certainly have problems with the way farming is generally practiced in the developed world, which is why I minimize my meat consumption and try to buy organic/local/free range when possible, but… animals eat other animals literally all the time. Sometimes they even eat very smart ones. I'm not going to get…

If I were rich and had a private jet and hated the environment, I would go to New Orleans just to eat, like, at least once a week. My favorite food city in the parts of the world I've been to.

Cosigned on all of this. There are occasionally Bon Iver songs that work for me, like "Brackett, WI" but mostly it's pretty meh. And Idaho and Red House Painters account for… several of my ten favorite albums of all time.

Fortunately, around the time I picked up Everything is Illuminated was when I began to realize that you don't have to finish books if you hate them, so I just quit like a quarter of the way in.
