Measuring sticks

So you choose to measure by the only standard that allows your life to be meaningless?

ETA: Here's the full context.  It's from Ender in Exile which kills me a little because I think OSC is so full of hate it disgusts me, but he's also brilliant.  *sigh*  Ok, full context:

LOL! You always crack me up. How do you manage it? This was actually an addendum to my locked navel gazing post, but I didn't want to add it to that. I love that you are thinking of yourself as a Filthy Enabler too:D

Tummy button is sore from too much inspection. LOL that you have a memo to be nice one day next week. Maybe I should try to send myself a memo to be less cranky one day. Does it work?

I'm working on finding another yardstick. It's not working very well. I keep returning to the broken yardstick; or rather, it's like it keeps returning to me like a boomerang.

Hunh? Naked man sets off bomb in desert? Does not compute. I'm thinking I'm lacking important context.

Let me know how the memo program goes.

Oooh, live an unmeasured life. That sounds like Thoreau.

LOL. You are not giving pointless advice. I think it's quite sound.

Oh. No bomb. It's from the Firefly ep "Trash". Might be my favorite ep from Firefly. Except for "Out of Gas" is also excellent.

Firefly is awesome. Lots of men like Firefly. It's a Joss Whedon show that is like 9 years old. Only 14 eps. Think cowboys in space. It's awesome. Oh, I already said that:D If you can watch Hulu, you can see some eps there.

Hulu is a website that streams shows. I don't know if it works out the US though. Joss Whedon did Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'm not a huge Buffy fan (or any kind of Buffy fan), but Firefly rocks.

Isn't Nathan Fillion adorable naked?:D

Did you watch the PSA then and find Fillion to your liking? He's just got such a dry sense of humor. If you can watch Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog, I think you and your hubby might like it. It's got Neil Patrick Harris in it too. And it's a musical. By Joss Whedon.

Oh. Got it. I was napping and am still sort of in sleepy-land.:D It's nice to have a friend who "gets" my type!

I've not seen Spooks. Hope it doesn't disturb your sleep!
