The only doom that’s looming is you loving me to death.

A few “reviews” of things I experienced during the all-too-short holiday break:
Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog DVD
I’ve been waiting for this one breathlessly after hearing that the commentary track would also be a musical.  You can imagine my delight to discover TWO commentary tracks: one a straightforward commentary and the OTHER a musical commentary.  The musical [...]

I am serious. And don’t call me Shirley.

Quentin Crisp said: “The very purpose of existence is to reconcile the glowing opinion we have of ourselves with the appalling things that other people think about us.”
Funny. My existence is the exact opposite.

I hated him so much, it was… Flames! Flames, against the side of my face…

Happy holidays, y’all!

I’m going to shove coal so far up your stocking you’ll be coughing up diamonds.

Back in the 80s, comedian Rich Hall had a minor sensation with the creation of “Sniglets.” A sniglet was a neologism that described something (a situation, often) that everyone could relate to.  For instance:
 
Carperpetuation: The act, when vacuuming, of running over a piece of string at least a dozen times, then picking it up, examining [...]

My name is Harvey Milk and I’m here to recruit you.

Not to jump on any bandwagons or anything, but MILK is terrifying and inspiring and awesome. That is all.
 

You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

The e-mail conversation I just had with The Co-Worker Who Must Not Be Named (who, I should note, is slightly more than 10 years my junior):
Me: Bwah-hah-hah!*
CW: You sound like Bowser.
Me: How the hell do you know who Bowser is?  Hell, I’M barely old enough to know who Bowser is.
CW: WHAAAAAAT!  Of course I know [...]

Say you don’t care who goes to that kind of place

Madison, Wisconsin: circa July 2007

That’s easy. Pez. Cherry flavored Pez. No question about it.

A few random observations:

Right now, if I thought there was a way that this would allow me to live a healthy, nutritious life, I would sustain myself on nothing but mint M&Ms and Tazo Wild Sweet Orange tea.
Self-publishing truly is a sign of the apocalypse. (No, seriously, don’t click this link.)
I have this theory that [...]

You’re not, by any chance, betraying your secret identity just to impress, um, cute boys, are you?

 
Leila, goddess of All Things Fab, pointed me to this wonderful “what if” scenario:  Edward (from TWILIGHT) vs. Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  A sample:

EDWARD: No–you don’t understand. I don’t drink human blood. I drink rats’ blood. I’m a vegetarian.
BUFFY: Um, I don’t think you understand the ‘veggie’ part of that equation.
EDWARD: It’s a joke.
BUFFY: Uh-huh. [...]

Why would he want to kill you in public?

Hey, English Geeks!
Normally, I would call myself one of your ranks.  But this is one I’m having trouble wrapping my head around.  This line is from a TIME magazine review of the new Joss Whedon show, DOLLHOUSE:
