I think one of the bigger insults is suggesting that garbage collection is somehow a bad job. Only in the hierarchy-obsessed West, where academia is the product of collected wealth, can this insult be constructed.

I hate those washers. Also, the ones that decide they’re smarter than me and refuse to let me make choices on temperature/cycle.

Aberforth, is that you?

Don’t care. Season two of Gala-fucking-vant!!!!!!!!

From the always excellent Kate Beaton.

Lovely story. This is what I wish more people understood, how delightful it is to be kind in this way. It’s fun. You get to be part of this wonderful moment, and it’s so worth whatever it costs.

Actually, if you hadn't told me this was Angelina Jolie (never saw Salt), I wouldn't have known. As it stands, I still can hardly see it. And I don't think it's just me.

Yes, To Say Nothing of the Dog is one of my bad-mood go-tos. The British could probably do a decent job of that one as a television serial. The books all take place in England anyway.

I think Groundhog Day's a much better movie than Back to the Future—Future is good, but Groundhog Day's just kind of brilliant, though I suppose Future is much more about the effects of time travel instead of Groundhog's repeat-day motif, which is basically a plot device. Still, it's brilliant.
