How are you ahead of me tommy?
I totally, like, live in the future.
Unlike last year, when I was sitting on my Tivo remote and ended up a minute behind....
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

Natter 56: ...we need the writers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Isn't overtime supposed to favor Green Bay, as opposing players are more likely to be chewed up and spat out in frozen bits by Lambeau Field?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I seriously thought my parents had turned into dirty hippies when I saw their reusable grocery bags. But no! Apparently that kind of thing is all the rage in other places.
They're big in Australia. I own a few with my football team's logo on them.

So what do I do with old videotapes?
I got rid of a pile through Freecycle.
Costco is selling great bags for what I recall as very little money. The package has two big bags with cloth straps and an insulated bag.

Art Crawl!!!
Just finished watching Northanger Abbey on Masterpiece Classic. Soooo much better than the new Persuasion but much too short. Also, has Sally Sparrow as Isabella Thorpe!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
While we're talking about getting rid of things -- I've got a rug, maybe 6x8 feet or so. It's just been rolled up and leaning against my wall in the corner for several years, but now I want to use that corner for a bookshelf. How do I get rid of the rug?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
How do I get rid of the rug?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Craigslist, or Freecycle, depending on if you care about getting money for it?
Also, my somewhat broken old TV was gone from my foyer this morning, like pretty much anything anyone leaves down there, so if your building has anything like that, you could just do that.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I always insist I get three bags for every individual item I buy at the supermarket. An then I go home and burn each bag separately.
I just laughed so loudly at this that The Boy came in from another room to ask me what was so funny.
He appreciates this discussion (the reusable bags, not football), because he recycles to such an extreme that he keeps the cereal bag/sleeve thing (you know, what holds the cereal inside the box), and uses it as a small trash bag on the kitchen counter. Which is actually really effective and handy, since the bigger trash can* is in the pantry, and every time we open the pantry (1) the dogs try to rush in, because they know that's where the food is, and (2) the pantry is an addition on the back of the house and it's not heated, so an arctic blast whips out.
*The bigger trash can in the pantry generally has, instead of a Hefty bag, an empty large Iams dog food bag. The man recycles EVERYTHING.
