Awesomeness:
Dr. Horrible: Oh wow, look at my wrist! It's time to go!
Captain Hammer: ... Dr? You've got a little crush, don't you doc? Well that's going to make this hard to hear. See, later I'm going to take little Penny back to my place ... show her the command center, hammer cycle, maybe even the ham jet. You think she likes me now? I'm going to give Penny the night of her life just because you want her. And I get what you want. See Penny's giving it up, she's giving it up hardddd. Cuz she's with Cap'n Hammer. And these (boxing stance)... are not the hammer. (walks away. comes back) The hammer is my penis.

Accomplishment:
Cancelled Crate and Barrel Catalog (I heart CatalogChoice.org)

Confessions:
I heart the interactive foreclosure map. Holy cow... check out the M streets area...

The Crate and Barrel catalog makes me feel bad about myself.

I love the Nicest Thing by Kate Nash if only because of the line "I wish you had a favorite beauty spot that you loved secretly cos it was on a hidden bit that nobody else could see." The rest of the song might have made me instantly suicidal if not for my penchant for truly morose music, but you know... that's a good song.

Thankful:
I am thankful for...
