Nah, I think she was mad because I only spoke in Victorian English and had a habit of handing in novellas when she asked for 2-3 page assignments. I had no friends.

That is literally all I remember.

Ugh. A teacher in school made me read this because she thought I had been reading too much Dickens and not enough contemporary young adult lit, and it was kind of awful.

I'm not a huge fan of superhero movies, but I thought The Dark Knight was pretty close to a masterpiece.

Did Michael sing "Lisa, It's Your Birthday," or was it really someone else? The story behind that episode gets more confusing the more I read about it.

It would be like J. K. Rowling collaborating with Jonathan Franzen.

Listening to his new album now, and I thought Lock All the Doors was decent but Dying of the Light is fantastic. I'm not sure how the reviewer can argue that Noel is a poor lyricist; his wistful teenaged melancholy was always one of the highlights of any Oasis album, and it serves him well here. That disillusioned…

I never cared much for the rapping in Feel Good, Inc., but I like the part where Damon Albarn sings, “Windmill, windmill…”

Say what you will about Noel Gallagher, but Oasis was really nothing without him. All Liam contributed was the voice. And Noel even sang lead on their best song!

But remember when Keane tried that? How'd that work out for them?

In fairness, has Noel Gallagher ever given a fuck what today's music sounds like?

Why not Jean-Luc Godard?

You're goddamn right.

Hank's indefatigable sleuthing abilities are simply too much to handle.

Mizumono.

To this day I refuse to re-watch the episode of Breaking Bad with the ATM machine. You know the one.

I'd like to think the writers are starting to take some cues from Parks & Rec.

After tonight, I think I may have to add Common People to my list of 100 favorite songs. It's like a whole novel in six minutes.

Murder Most Unladylike, The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place, Mr. Fox, the first Chrestomanci book.

I mostly enjoyed the final season, and while I thought the finale was decent, in the sense that it provided all the closure I could've asked for, it was not a great hour of television. While I admired the ambitious structure, I feel the writers erred in abandoning realism entirely. I'd like to have seen more…
