"I waited so long to file suit because I wanted them to make more money, so I could sue them for more money….. What do you mean that's not how it works?!"

Feeling pretty good, meds still make me tired, but my follow up is the end of the month, so I'm hoping to come off them or at the very least have them reduced. They make it hard to function for long periods of time, which I need to do with all the demands of a normal life!

Doing ok, fella. Thanks for asking. I'm in over my head at work, and every day I hate it a little more every day (too much work, and then parenting and school on top of that, plus my "team" is not very team-like), but soon I'll have my masters and the job hunt will begin for something with a better work life balance.

I'm not a big fan of Bush (the band, indifferent to the pubes) or anything, but even I know they broke up for something like a decade, and why even bring it up if you're going to be dismissively snide about it?

Load was the only thing I could think of. I came back with Death Magnetic, but the video for "Until It Sleeps", ugh. I like a variety, so I wasn't necessarily mad they weren't "metal" anymore, I did like "Hero of the Day", but it just seemed like they lost the plot.

I was 9 when it premiered, and we watched it. Of course we didn't have cable and choices were slim. But it's weird to think that as I kid I watche Knight Rider, A-Team, and Golden Girls.

Right now I'm listening to an MP3 disc of the big four in my car.

Duff's book is so great. He comes across as a genuinely great guy, and very self aware. When he can even speak well of Axl, that's pretty amazing.

Yes! So awesome.

So depressing. My parents aren't educated to that degree, but my dad loves farming and hunting and nature, and he was against the pimple in a short six months ago. But now he's perfectly fine with destroying all the air and water… you know, things we need to LIVE, because Babyhands says so.

They really are, but the political ones fall flat most of the time. There's a young woman at my workplace who loves the show, and she's 23, and every time I see a dated reference, I think "does she get that joke?"

Well, Joel McHale was in the American IT Crowd pilot, so maybe?

This morning my 6 year old was super into Peace Sells. I'm chipping away at the terrible music tastes instilled in him at daycare.

C'mon c'mon c'mon, daddy needs a new cancellation. I've been sitting at 26th for what feels like ages.

One of my favorite moves. My friends always forgot about it.

It's because they credit every writer of every song they sample, so if they sample three songs and each song has three writers, you're already at 9. Then, whatever lyrics and additional musicianship they add, they get credits. It's all an attempt not to get sued.

When I was in high school and college, we always talked about The Jungle, but never read it, we just talked about its impact.

I hate you so much right now.
