It's better than explaining that you're staying late at work because you were reading through "2401-2500 of 1807 Reasonable Discussions" AND because you're having an affair.

Awesome, I'm so happy for you!  Congrats on beating fucking cancer!

The Earthsea cycle is pretty fantastic, especially the first and third (I haven't read Tehanu, though).  But yeah, you should definitely read some LeGuin.  Everybody should definitely read some LeGuin.

Slowly working my way through Suttree by Cormac McCarthy, but probably won't make serious headway on it until the long weekend.

Don't have a job and have never been engaged, so I cant really relate, but that really sucks dude.  Sorry to hear that.

Happy almost-Birthday!

Seriously, I kind of want to read a poem by that Bachelor couple (or more likely the ghostwriter who's writing plausably shitty poetry for that Bachelor couple) just to see how unbelievably shitty it is.

Awesome, count me in then!

That would probably be the greatest margin of victory in Super Bowl history, since Don Beebe saved the Bills from holding that distinction by knocking the ball from Leon Lett's hands at the 1 yard line in a 52-17 loss to the Cowboys back in Super Bowl XXVII or something like that.

Holy shit, there's a Lying Cat gimmick account?  Fuck yes!

Is eHarmony the site that's having the commercials with the old founder guy creepily sitting between the couple in a romantic situation?  Because that seemed like a strikingly horrible way to advertise a dating site, by subconsciously giving someone the idea that a creepy 80 year old man is even metaphorically going…

Beatles at 115.

I learned that Fat Tire is better than the cheaper beer that I usually drink.

How legitimate a member of the AV Club commentariat does one have to be to join?  Because I'm interested, but I wouldn't want to take a space away from a more serious commenter/dilute people's "rosters" by being a superfluous presence in a league that's really meant for the more legitimate contributors on this site.

The only league I have ever won was an autodraft league.  Got AP and Aaron Rodgers the year the Packers won the Super Bowl.  I'm pretty sure I was one of like two people (out of only 8) taking it remotely seriously though, so that probably diminishes any impressiveness of my winning even more.

Bills UDFA rookie Jeff Tuel may be the starter in Week 1 against the Pats if EJ Manuel isn't healthy.  And in the wake of Kevin Kolb's latest concussion we've signed Matt Leinart and Thaddeus Lewis.  And #1 CB Stephon Gilmore is out 6-8 weeks with a fractured wrist.  Yay for the incipient 4-12 season!

"Closer to the Heart" came up on my attempt at a shuffle, but then I realized that my actual music library is so pathetically unvaried that I was too embarrassed to actually post anything.

God, your workplace conversation sounds like it solely consists of the most depressingly mindless shit imaginable.  Almost nothing pisses me off more than people caring about Miley Cyrus' performance-thingy the other day and people who think that commercials are so funny that they deserve to be un-ironically quoted.

Whoa, your cat was only four pounds?  Glad to hear she's doing better.
