I work at a library, and once made the mistake of rereading the passage in Charlotte's Web about Charlotte's death at my desk. DO NOT DO THIS.

I'm with The Anachronist, although I guess his/her name prevents that, so I'm standing behind and slightly to the left of The Anachronist. Dumbo rules.

Well, for me it felt inopportune because I felt a bit out of control in the moment; like I wasn't pretty-crying, I was face-twisting-snot-dripping-oh-dear-god-don't-let-it-touch-me-crying. But I take your point. I hardly ever feel that bad about tearing up over something, even if it's ridiculous; I suppose I should

Damn, you're right. I'll fix that.

I forgot him railing against the wedding industry. I'll add that to the list.

Neither is your spelling. <glower> (In all seriousness, that fucking commercial _did_ plague me for years; I just enjoy ranting about Saved By The Bell more.)

for that sweet sound, hold me close never AUGH JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK IS IT KILL IT WITH FIRE let me go

I'm sorry, sincerely—I was planning on doing one more review this week to put up a proper notice, but there was just too much going on. We'll be back eventually, though!

If I was gonna go with TMBG, I'd used "Experimental Film," and for a few minutes, everyone would think I was really cheerful.

Yeah, I think Wilkins might be exaggerating (slightly) for comic effect—the episode runs from 10 to 11:50 pm with commericals. Then there's the "Talking Dead" style after show. Then Kurt Sutter shows up at your house to drink your beer and yell at you for your shit taste.

I suspected this as well, but since I wasn't able to find any reference to it, I didn't mention it. Also, given the direction of the ending (that generalized accusation that _everyone_ is to blame for the hatred), I could easily believe Serling always planned for Jagger to be white.

Well, you can't _start_ with 2 Girls, 1 Cup. You have to go back to Goatse, and then follow that up with Tub Girl. There's continuity, for fuck's sake; there's an arc. What is this amateur hour shit you're trying to push on people.

Oh, that reminds of another one—one year on Christmas Eve, my mom tried to get us to do a "Movie Night" instead of the usual family gathering. So she and my sister went to see… something, and I insisted my dad take me to Mars Attacks. I loved it, but I think he was less enthused.

I like it. I had the PS3 version for a while, and I liked that too. I'm curious if I'll actually bother finishing it this time around; right now, the very basic button-mashing and Skinner box-style mechanics (press this enough times, you get something shiny that will encourage you to press this more times) are very

Once you get to a certain point in CSS, about a third of the levels are luck-of-the-draw. (And that's being generous.) Which makes sense, from a free-to-play standpoint, because the longer you struggle to get through something, the more they try and offer you "goodies" to help. What's weird is that I'll keep playing

Candy Crush Saga. I've been playing off and on for months now; every time I get to a level I can't quickly get past, I'll think, "This is it. This is when I give up." But I never do. It's actually something I'm more comfortable mentioning to people in real life than I am bringing it up on the Internet. In real life,

Random True Story: When I was eight or so, my mom accidentally gave me one of my dad's blood pressure pills, and we drove over to a neighbor's house where I drank an entire bottle of ipecac just to get the pill out. I can still remember the taste.

Well, damn. Blame Cuse and Campbell, I guess.

When I was a kid, I was the only person I knew who _wasn't_ over the moon about the show. It's one of the first times I remember disagreeing with my friends about anything. So if you liked it as a kid, you could very well still like it as a grown-up. I hope you do! And I was having fun by the end, as I hope the essay

I made a decision to go with the original intended airing order, for reasons which now escape me. (To be honest, it was because I thought that was the Netflix order, which it totally isn't.) I kind of regret this now, but we'll be back on track soon enough, and as Jay S. notes, I've already reviewed "Night Call."
