I remember watching it for the first time, late at night, in my shitty Chicago apartment, two days into the anxiety attack that would end with me dropping out of grad school. And I just sat there, jaw dropped, going, "WHAT THE FUCK," out loud, every five minutes, like clockwork.

Yeah, this is a great list. And the thing is, those albums SOUND like they'd be bummers, from the concepts, but there's some really upbeat, fuck yeah music on all of them. Try "This Year" or "Up The Wolves," from Sunset Tree, to see what I mean.

My intended point wasn't that the left was crazy, just that EVERYBODY in Southland Tales is a psychotic, self-involved asshole, left and right alike.

Yeah, I didn't want to turn this whole piece into a quote-fest, but that's a hell of a line.

You are extremely correct. It has been fixed, thanks for pointing it out.

Oh God, how did I forget about Cerebus? Sorry, C.S. Lewis, Cerebus is my answer.

So we're agreed: the majority of people are spending insufficient time thinking about my needs and anticipating my desires.

I checked out League Night; it mostly involved me and maybe two other people sometimes walking past the machine with facial expressions that said, "Please invite me to play." GUYS WHY IS THIS SO HARD.

I keep wanting to get involved with the Ground Kontrol tournaments, I'm just too socially awkward to find a team. Live by the nerd, die by the nerd.

This is a great article, and a firm reminder of why sports, in any form, are the worst things in the world.

Here's a line I cut from that bit in the article because it was extraneous, despite finding it amusing: "a former consultant for the Norwegian Ministry of Environment, which is a real government agency, and not just something from an old Monty Python sketch."

Srsly. Toss us some pickle, Littlefinger.

BLASPHEMY.

(Writer of the article, here.) If I had to parse what I was thinking, it's a push-and-pull between thinking a celebrity getting a book deal thanks to Twitter is kind of silly, and legitimately thinking Kendrick is cool. I agree that the variances in the tone leave something to be desired.

The original draft had a long, extraneous joke about how the school's motto should be, "If the glove does not fit, you must acquit yourself in a manner befitting a student of our fine institution."

It's always good to have a nemesis.

I love that poster so much. Have you seen the Dark Souls - Paper Mario thing someone did? It's a lot more visually busy, but just as gorgeous. Dorkly did a thing on it the other day: http://www.dorkly.com/post/…

He wasn't! I'm just an idiot who thought he was. Fixing it now.

Yep. One of my favorite Liz Lemon lines. I knew that calling him that in my entry would be confusing, and did it anyway, because the line is just that good.

They were founded by the guy who invented/named the protocol. So I guess it's more like Kleenex naming itself Kleenex?
