“You wear the dress; the dress is not allowed to wear you.” - This is the essential lesson of all fashion, not just wedding gowns.

I have my season 1 DVDs to sustain me.

“The welfare of people in the hands of self righteous asshats.” — You mean, Congress?

Tangential observation on the ketchup cup story: Nothing is more exasperating to an engineer than coming up with a simple, logical solution to a problem, only to be told, “Sorry, our poorly-designed and/or -implemented system won’t allow that.”

I Am Not A Lawyer, but: The standard is not “did he commit a crime in both countries.” The standard is “is this act considered illegal in both countries.”

If a disaster happens during the day, you’re likely to be alert and oriented. But if it wakes you up in the middle of the night, you have to wake up, get oriented, find the things you need in a place you’re not familiar with (remember, you’re travelling), and get yourself to safety.

Of course, that makes both of their relationships with Abbie far more complicated, and I’m not convinced the show could pull off that part. But in theory, I’m not opposed to the possibility. (As for Abbie and…

Elvis Cole is the world’s greatest detective. It says so right there on his business card. (But props to Columbo.)

Ichabod and Jenny, I could maybe get behind. But I like him better as Abby’s devoted friend and work partner. Frankly, I don’t see why they need to worry about Ichabod’s romantic life. It’s not like people aren’t going to be mooning over him without one.

My “what would you do if you won $300 million in Powerball” fantasy is a foundation to help the working poor. And I don’t know exactly how it would work, since I haven’t been working in the field, but I figured things like providing security deposits for housing and helping people get more reliable cars for the money…
