I'm a little biased because I read everything of Murakami's that makes its way into the English language, but those 900+ pages go by in a flash.

Though "In the Chill of the Night," the Starro two-parter and the Doom Patrol episodes might be a tad upsetting.

"It's not a navy boat, it's a gravy boat…"

I also need "Jingle in the Jungle" and Tina's singing of "Hava Nagila."

Poll: Is this new better or worse than Netflix's Adam Sandler deal?

I'm currently reading The Secret History of the Mongol Queens, which tells the story of Gengis Khan's daughters and the important role they played in building his empire. Despite his many, many faults, Khan built quite the meritocracy.

I think we need a Stray Observation tradition called "Is Wally a Dick This Week?" Although realistically the answer will probably be "Yes" 95% of the time.

King Shark has been among my favourite DC characters ever thanks to this: http://56.media.tumblr.com/…

Nah, even those expectation are too high. The Interestings is one of the most thuddingly boring novels I've read in years.

I've been watching Gilmore Girls for the first time and am about to watch the season finale tonight. Logan Huntzberger completely ruined the show for me. I'd have been loooooong past his shit if I were Rory, and her excuse of "I'm in love with him" just seemed really forced and not believable as a means of going back…

There's a documentary about the making of this game called 'Thank You For Playing.' I caught it at the Hot Docs festival in Toronto last year. It was absolutely devastating, and became even more so when Ryan Green answered questions from the audience afterwards. Being in a group of people sharing grief with him was…

I watched This Hour Has 22 Minutes a ton during the years Nathan Fielder was on, specifically because his segments were so ridiculously funny—it was on another level compared to the rest of the show.

Jessica's visit with Cissy was pure gold. It was like the show was briefly stepping into Orange is the New Black.

I really, really hope a film/TV version of King Shark can be created that rivals this: http://ryley-stbatman.tumbl…

It would have been a goddamn travesty to not bring back Tom Cavanagh.

I was thoroughly disappointed by the first book (enough to not read the second or third) but if this show decides to fully commit to the trailer's crazed atmosphere I may actually enjoy watching this.

Some of my favourite parts of the book are when the author asks former Beanie Baby hunters why they got so addicted. No one could really adequately explain themselves.

I just finished reading "The Great Beanie Baby Bubble" by Zac Bissonnette. It was a pretty amazing look into how people went totally apeshit over Beanie Babies for no real reason. Also, Ty Warner, the CEO, comes across as super awful.

"Arizona backwards is still Arizona! It's a palomino!"

It was a Very Frustrating Dupe, to say the least.
