Code Stupid

The stress of dealing with the Disney parks was well represented here. Just getting to Disneyland (haven't been to Disney World) from an off-site hotel, even a close one, is a 45-minute (at least) journey from entrance to parking lot to tram to park. The whole time thinking: rides, gotta get on the rides, gotta beat…

Lou is perfectly adequate! (at washing his hands too)

My Dad had a good friend in the 60s who had schizophrenia (it often manifests in the prime of life), and she was institutionalized around this same time-frame. She didn't get any better. Therefore, this episode made me very sad. I still have some of her folk records from the collection she left in our garage (never to…

I do know about that, and yes, it's fucked.

As someone who attempted to help many organizations fix their shitty websites (for free—I couldn't get a job interview, let alone a job, so I tried VOLUNTEERING) across Portland's fair borders, only to be met with bafflement, shoulder-shrugging, and un-returned messages, I concur with John Oliver on this one. Internet…

I don't know but my friend getting angry with me was an annual, predictable event—like seasonal or something. Betty's moods are like that—you know they're coming, just not when or even why—like a natural disaster.

I think both readings work for her. I have experience with someone who most likely has BPD, who was raised by an explosively angry mom, and her anger, in contrast, was very detached and icy. She would freeze out her friends for weeks at a time, making them guess what they had done to deserve it. And it was always for…

Peggy Says What is the name of my band.

My only guess is he's referring to the TV show, "Julia," starring Diahann Carroll, which was popular at the time. It was a groundbreaking show and Carroll played, you guessed it, a nurse. It makes him a double shit heel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

But you can pick an orange RIGHT OFF THE TREE!

He's also called Hitler and Puppet-master. No one's using "Anointed One" but give them time.

Nobody's said it so I will, props to the set-design crew for the book dominoes—well done.

I think Brad would have been a fun prom date, but I'm glad Darrin came through.

My son likes watching the re-runs (sometimes a lot) and when Axl and his buddies have get-togethers, it's really fun to just watch Darren's and Sean's reactions to everything going on. They're both really good in their roles. This message brought to you by the magic of multiple viewing.

Gloves? Certainly not. Pfft.

And so a third season of Enlightened came to be… (dreaming)

Saw Throwing Muses in San Francisco. They were incredibly good. Haven't heard them since they were teenagers in the 80s, and hadn't followed them as a band for years, but if you ever get a chance—a must-see. One of the best trios I've seen play live. Kirstin Hersh is so low-key yet commanding. She reminded me of…

A statue made from Lego would be more human looking than this one. More ironic too.

Yes, Hanyu's short program was flawless. I had to fast-forward through many skaters to see it on-demand, and it was worth it.
