"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Tom, if you have 3 weeks in California, you could do southern and northern in that time. I happen to like San Diego quite a bit if you can get all the way down there.

I vote for Santa Cruz beach boardwalk, San Franciso Piers, eating everywhere to start. Do you like hiking, surfing, studio tours?

My choo-choo is moving!

hip deep in pie

Guys, you all need to tell me where to go on vacation, since I can't decide for myself.

I am longing to go to Paris, so you should go so I can live vicariously through you.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Monterey Bay Aquarium. Santa Cruz. Depending on the time of year, there may be Shakespeare in the Park in Golden Gate Park or just outdoors at a bunch of different wineries. If you come at the end of September, there's a massive food truck festival at Jack London Square. There are bookstores you haven't even discovered yet. If you time it right, you might be able to make it to a pillow fight or a cardboard tube battle.

Three weeks? I've been here my entire adult life and haven't scratched the surface.

Or, more realistically, a Scola West Coast tour, San Diego to Seattle.

Tom, if you're doing a pan-West Coast thing maybe touring the wine country for a few days would be relaxing and fun? Or hiking in the Redwood Park near Crescent City?

Because books.

Go to Yellowstone, Tom. We loved it when we were there, and you really need time to explore it properly. You could take amazing pictures.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Or, more realistically, a Scola West Coast tour, San Diego to Seattle.

This sounds wonderful. I might do that myself.

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

is there context for this?

Yeah. I was sitting on my train at a station in Evanston for an hour while we waited for the storm to pass.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Well, I had a super crappy start to the week.

When I got in to work this morning, I found that my work laptop had been stolen.

I've got backups, but there's a ton of secure information on it. It's password protected, but the password is not very sophisticated. I just hope the thief is even less sophisticated.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I was without a working disposer for a couple of months. It was bad for me on a bunch of levels.

It's funny, this apartment doesn't have a disposal, which is a little weird. We've adjusted to it, but it was a bit of a trial at first.
