Paradox Pumpkin, it was the Talkboy Tape Recorder. You're welcome.

I saw a performance of the play done by high school students. The plight of those teenage "actors" fumbling with emotions they could barely conceive of really moved me.

I scored a free Casio SK-5 and a "Voice Mutator" when my friend moved a couple weeks ago. I see now that it was a sign.

saw it yesterday
and the Lorenzo's Oil joke slayed me. So out of left field.

Jimmy James, the Karate Kid remake was the answer to your prayers.

Wellllll
I actually really enjoyed the episode, and laughed often. Apparently practically every other commenter here disagrees. Luckily, everyone respects differing opinions on the internet! Right? RIGHT???

I read that Snoop was working on developing her own line of sex toys.

The Byronic Hero: half man, half machine.

Chris Medina's choice of "Fix You" was way too literal for me. "Hey, don't forget that I'm always singing to my broken fiancee!" He was just ok, and I'm glad the judges/producers didn't succumb to the temptation of his tragic backstory. We'd likely have just ended up with another Danny Gokey.

For years I thought I was the only person who enjoyed Wild Wild West…then I finally saw it again and realized that no, it's really pretty awful. Take up the mantle, my son.

I'm not one to rag on Meg White…
but, as a lady drummer, I really wish she wasn't the only female drummer that most people have heard of. If you're a lady drummer in a two piece with a dude on electric guitar and vocals, forget being compared to anyone else ever. …Especially if your name is Meghan. I've lived it,…

Thanks, The Mutt. Now I want to see Branch playing Sigourney Weaver's son in something.

Fuuuuuuuuck, what a bummer.
The Redwall series was my shit in 4-8 grade. I haven't read any since maybe the 14th in the series (yeah, I held out that long) but it was comforting to know they were still being written and blowing kids' little minds.

The Modern Lovers
was a huge high school album for me, but I've been really negligent about catching up on the rest of Jonathan's career. I have a small collection of illegally downloaded tracks, all of which I love. Time to remedy this.

@ witty username: No, I can't read the words "human person" without hearing them in Bob Fossil's dulcet tones.

It's real, but it's also apparently Finnish. Sorry, Norway. I guess now I know nothing about you.

I don't think animated films that get Best Picture nominations should be able to receive noms in the Best Animated category. If it's in the running for Best Picture, it's obviously going to win over whatever poor suckers got held up against Pixar that year.

They should have asked to see her
map of Tasmania.

my only impression of Norway
The troll movie is just reminding me of this book I read (Norwegian of course), where a guy found a baby troll and instead of being like, "HEY EVERYBODY I FOUND A TROLL, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT DON'T OFFICIALLY EXIST BUT WE ALL BELIEVE IN THEM BECAUSE WE'RE NORWEGIAN," he takes…

@Rapist: Or, you know, feminists.
