Did someone really do this? That's the question I'm asking.

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

sexy vampire pad thingy omg

Look at the expression of giddy joy on his face! Look at the horrified expression on the cat's face! That thing is just genius, and so so wrong.

I checked the guy's list of shows he's not considering for possible episodes, and one of the ones is X-Files. Yes, that's listed as a sitcom he's not going to use. And he's not going to consider "Night Court" because it reminds him of homework.

IE, "this is my completely self-absorbed, by criteria only I care about, list of great episodes." Skip. I don't want to cut into my Tom & Lorenzo time anyway.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Isn't that what any opinion piece is?

Well, some at least pretend they're trying to assess things according to an objective measure. Though they rarely succeed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Wow, that was a crazy tennis match.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Where does he lay out those criteria, Connie? I don't see it in the introduction post.

don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity

It is a commonplace, but I'm not sure it is a true commonplace. There is a hell of lot of malice in the world, much of it held by people who are also stupid. Or maybe it is a matter that sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice.

You know, my unpacking might be going better if I weren't okay with living in disarray.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Where does he lay out those criteria, Connie? I don't see it in the introduction post.
