Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

The ridiculous thing about those searches is I spend twenty or thirty minutes researching facts for ... one sentence.

Perfectly acceptable. I have spent quality time looking things up for a throwaway joke. Sometimes the lion's share of the research I do doesn't even make it into the story, but it informs the plot and characterization.

Post-its have a new purpose: blinder so I can briefly read.

I know I'm not supposed to swim today. But I feel guilty anyway.

Also? I really hate the texture of my ceiling.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

HOLY CRAP FOOTBALL.

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

I don't really watch football, but whoah.

Me either, Tom. It's on at the laundromat.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

man, I really do not like NE. The Ravens were the only team I wanted to make it to the Superbowl this year. Not sure when the last time I cared less about a Superbowl.

I am making labels for files, and am filing the numerous piles of household papers. SO EXCITING...not.

I honestly don't care about this game either, cause I don't like either team and am bitter at both this season, sooooo, I think a movie instead.

I just found a whole batch of unsigned documents from my 2005 refinance. that saves some file space.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Oh, man, I can get sucked into research so easily. I'm such a dilettante info whore.

Or Mata Hari.

Didn't she get shot or beheaded? I don't think she was very good at spying; she liked the attention too much. She used to appear at partied in the 20's or 30's at Natalie Barney's -- Colette wrote about partying with her.

I think it was Natalie Barney - lesbian socialite in Paris, poet/novelist. (quick check). Yep; read her bio. Fascinating. Or her lover's bio. Or a novel. God, I can't remember now.

Anyway -- I would be better than poor ol' Mata Hari.
