Do you care if they are old language books?
It would be nice to relearn all the French I've forgotten!
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

Ellen is really unlikeable, like a million.
Well, less so as the series goes on. I don't focus on her too much in S1, though, as it's much more about Geoffrey & Oliver, and Rachel McAdams and What's His Bucket.

Why didn't the book fairy send me the new Naomi Novik? Why, book fairy, why?

I wish there were a book fairy for each of us. As they take away stuff, like the ability to remember where I put my keys or maybe clumps of hair, they could leave books.

Is she taking the clumps of hair that end up in the tub, or that mysteriously gather on hardwood floors in corners and become dustbunnies? Or are we talking clumps of hair from my HEAD? Because if the latter, I really don't need a book fairy like I need a hole in my head, TYVM...
I have made a first step in my plan to become Filthy Rich By Winning the Lotto: I actually purchased a ticket! There's a machine in the Spokane Airport, past security. So I bought a powerball ticket. CLEARLY this will win me riches, right? Right? Because the only reason I didn't win the lotto BEFORE was because I keep not buying tickets, right???

She takes them from your hairbrush and leaves them in your drains and hardwood floors. The hair fairy is a bitch.

meara, you will never win the lottery.
aimee, you neither.
I'm sorry. You're both good people and deserving of the lives that lottery winning would bring.
On the plus side, neither of your will be hit by lightning or eaten by a shark.
So it balances.

Sure. That's a piece of it. You've actually increased your odds from zero chance to one chance in 195,249,054, which is the largest increase in odds possible.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
we had our first bee sting today. The stinger was poking out of Noah's belly but he hadn't even cried. Yet he cries if you tell him no. Sigh.
He hasn't yet realised that a bee sting means "NO" in Bee.
