Wouldn't the slutty western gear be better ? You should save the formal stuff for shotgun weddings .

I envy you your first viewing of The Grand Budapest Hotel . Just rewatched it for the first time this weekend and it was much more enjoyable in my home than at the theater I went to as the only other patrons at the same showing were an elderly couple , one of whom grumbled loudly every time a certain piece of art was…

I have been listening to Okkervil River's Black Sheep Boy since fall . Gorgeously evocative , poetic lyrics . A fantastic album on its own merits but the mental imagery it conjures also reminds me of Hannibal , which is never a bad thing .

Which I just got for Christmas ! Now to watch the whole thing and end my holiday weekend curled up in the fetal position after the finale .

This is the first year I'm caught up on Doctor Who , hence , my first watching of the Christmas special on Christmas . Coupled with the fact that Capaldi 's 12th Doctor is delightful means I am unabashedly excited to see this . Thank you BBC , strangely named desserts to celebrate for all !

If they do manage to drag you along insist upon bringing a sword . Assuming you own a sword . Yes , I'm stereotyping you .

Explain the Demiurge to them . It might even get you uninvited to family gatherings !

If I could up vote this a hundred times I would . Just in the last year I can't tell you how many times I've asked myself "will you regret this every night as you drift fitfully off to sleep ?" and asking that question saved me from that very fate . Personally , I think it's worth it but then again I've been called…

For what it's worth this probably makes you a more considerate and compassionate person . Do you know someone who just refuses to learn from their mistakes ? At least that isn't you . The popular mantra is to 'just go for it , what's the worst that could happen ? ' but that's glib and often foolish . Caution and a…

That would be ideal but it would also be a very steep climb . As it is when I tell people I have zero wish to procreate they look like I just admitted to hating puppies . It makes sense from an evolutionary stand point to want to pass on your genes no matter what but it often isn't wise to do so . Let alone necessary…

I'm sure your parents were very grateful for your care and company . Incidentally , this appears to be the most wholesome story you've shared here . Congrats !

Nah , if you want a job done right you've got to do it yourself .

I completely agree with your last paragraph . If only society would reward honest introspection more we would have far fewer messed up humans running around . I would make a catastrophically bad parent so I have politely removed myself from the gene pool . Just seems like common decency .

Might I suggest Tactics Ogre ? Very similar to Final Fantasy Tactics , if anything it is more bleak . Perfect for the holidays !

But if she does just imagine the vitriolic madness the comments section would immediately dissolve into . I'll make popcorn !

Awesome , sounds like I'll begin with 2 then . I would not have thought to stab corpses , I will certainly keep that in mind . Now to start thinking of excuses as to why I can not make it to social gatherings , as I have found telling people you would rather stay home and die a bazillion times than go to their…

I've been on the fence about starting this series for awhile but you've won me over . Nuanced gameplay is fairly hard to come by . Should I begin with Dark Souls or just jump straight to Dark Souls 2 ?

I agree with the sentiment that art loses some of its impact once familiarity sets in but watching a movie you love a single time seems extreme . Once a year I watch my favorite movie , it reminds me of how I felt the first time I saw it . I can reconnect to the person I was at the time while also picking up new…

Truly , you are doing the Lord's work . Are you going to guilt trip us all about this for the next two thousand years like your terrestrial counterpart ?

I'll be replaying Suikoden II thanks to its recent addition to PSN . Actually , that's a lie . I'm still working through Inquisition ( Is Morrigan reverse aging ?) . I just wanted to let you all know about Suikoden . Please buy it , I'm delusional enough to believe if it does well they'll give the franchise another…
