@avclub-97d6c074b974838257db17a02f8784c4:disqus  - Not sure on #2 or #3, but I will say GO OUT ON A DATE.  I went out on dates way before I was "ready" - and it helped:

@avclub-84ca205fe6bc691c41c3bfe5a2820a15:disqus  Cigs are a fine meal substitute for up to three hours, or so my doctor tells me. 

@avclub-8dd007f4a97be79c135c67999bf5b27e:disqus  - I will not be making those preserves.  I will, however, buy some from you.  I am not bullshitting here.  I have neither time nor patience for such pursuits;  filthy lucre, however - covered.  Let's make a deal!

@avclub-a452630477eb936fd36fc9a9542d4598:disqus  - when? if it's summer, def. Europe.  Barcelona or Santorini are insane.

CAKE.

@avclub-32a2e71c97df5281f1324db72c73a59a:disqus  - wow, that was kind of an asshole move on dad's part…

Mao FTW

It is completely moronic. It's like Ben Stiller or Chris Elliot wrote a parody heavy metal song.  That said, I love it.

A fun/funny song, that is catchy and danceable - "I Touch Myself".  Always gets people dancing/talking/laughing/doing silly fake masturbation things.

Boom Boom Pow is the worst - for that "2 thousand and eight…2 thousand and late" line. 

1) I'm not sure I believe you have not heard this song.  I'm old/dad I've heard it 100s of times, for years and years now. Are you sure?
2) Dude Looks Like a Lady is much worse than this throwaway pop tune

Thanks, and damnit.

@avclub-21a8615938a206d4311a58a53ad8890e:disqus  - Anyone who has been to Barcelona will tell you how fantastic it is (careful though - it's a pretty boozy place!), but for a honeymoon, I think Santorini might be the absolute best.  It's beautiful, relaxing, and pretty inexpensive.

@avclub-adad33d3da210f8c6efe515ace3e7089:disqus  - thanks - yes that makes sense on the HBO stuff.  I really dont want to watch The Wire on my laptop - I need to figure out how to "HBO Go" on my TeeVee.

@Scrawler2:disqus  - I decided then and there if I ever were to move, or have to move, to L.A., I'd do whatever it took to live in that neighborhood.  Just such a weird anomoly in a city with a an odd relationship with water.

@avclub-4c56ff4ce4aaf9573aa5dff913df997a:disqus  - can I bother you to ask in what format you viewed Justified? It's not on Netflix Instant or on demand on Comcast. Do I have to go DVD with this series? thanks.

I was about to on-demand The Master last night but decided I was too tired.

@avclub-1786aec3a614d40f1e566fde557a1799:disqus  - also, take your time, not only b/c it's so damn enjoyable, but also b/c you can't get the first half of Season 5 anywhere, at least easily/legally at the moment.  I finished all four seasons on netflix instant over the last few months and I am DYING to know what's…

@avclub-22eda830d1051274a2581d6466c06e6c:disqus  - As a fella going through a rough patch, my sincere condolences on the gf thing.  What can possibly suck more than being dumped by someone in whom you invested some time and care.

@avclub-e129a878f7b0e5aa9ac09e0282f64ea6:disqus  - by no means an expert here, but a hipster (the good kind, if you know what I mean) L.A.-based friend of mine and I were hanging out, walking around a bit and we went through the Venice neighborhood - not the moronic beach scene, just the neighborhood along the canal…
