I dunno…

I lived in a place like that. It was just about impossible to get anything to change because nobody would vote for anything that would raise their taxes.

I have no idea why Game of Thrones caught on and not Tad Williams' Memory, Sorrow and Thorn trilogy. Not only is it one of Martin's influences (the Dothraki, the dragons, and lots of other things are kind of stolen from Williams' series), but it's a better story without all the rapes and incest. Also, since it was

So much so that Brian W. Aldiss thought of it first for his Helliconia series (a SF series that mostly reads like a fantasy series).

With no context to help me, all I really got out of that was that the art was pretty good.

I didn't realize he was Poul Anderson.

I deleted both of the tweets that got me in trouble, so this is from memory. I said I wouldn't want to try Tinder or anything like that because I'm self-conscious about my looks and I assume I would get rejected a lot based on things like how fat I am right now. Then I tried being funny and riffing on one of her

I was talking to Jen Kirkman on Twitter about an article about online dating she wrote that I thought was really funny. She took something I said about how I feel like I'm too ugly to use dating sites completely the wrong way and interpreted it as an unwanted advance.

If I say I don't like White's voice either, will you find a new dead horse?

As far as I'm concerned, the only good thing about "Give It Away" is that it provided the tune for Weird Al's "Bedrock Anthem." I started out hating that song and then I heard it about five billion more times because of MTV.

No. How about this? I hate the song as much as people around here hated the guy from Grimm's bangs.

I was in college when that song became huge and I hate that song the way Khan hated Captain Kirk.

You know how Lenny Kravitz has a bunch of songs that sound like bad impressions of Pink Floyd or Smokey Robinson or whoever? Suck My Kiss sounds like what you might get if Kravitz tried to sound like the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I hated Kiedis' vocals on that track so much that it basically destroyed my ability to enjoy any of their music.

I thought Mildrith's prayer was very sweet.

That was my assumption.

I'm cautiously optimistic about the show even if it was created by the guys who created Smallville. It's kind of like that movie Bunraku, only without Woody Harrelson as a sort of Greek chorus explaining stuff.

I thought he might have been named after one of the creators of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I watched a few episodes. It's not bad (I'd definitely take it over Criminal Minds) and Katee Sackhoff is pretty good in it.
