Today I had oatmeal for the first time. It was not as bad as I expected, though that's probably the maple and brown sugar talking. I feel so...fibrous.

My Daredevil obsession continues, as I just bought a couple back issues-Annual #1 and "Daredevil: Blood of the Tarantula"-because they weren't collected in trade and the resident DD fan recommended them to me. The cool part is he totally would have let me read them without buying them, but I wanted to have them for future re-reads.

Sometimes it's a good thing you don't write a supremely angsty second-person post, the kind you used to kill in college. Sometimes you're better off not immortalizing your usual fears and doubts and paranoia.

Dave is a friend from Rice; other friends from Rice included Alexis, Jonathan, and Ryan (and his girlfriend Johanna, who did go to Rice but I didn't meet until afterward). Also Anna ( Read more... )

Non-spoilery television thoughts to give this post more substance than the upcoming meme!

Fringe: Who's still watching this show? Because this episode made me glad I didn't give up on it. Things are tying together! There's an overarching story that's been building right before our eyes! And for the first time, I actually yelled, "WHAT?!" when I ( Read more... )

Oh my God, you guys, Friday Night Lights is so fucking good this season. It makes me tear up practically every week. What I love about this show is that it sees nothing wrong with giving characters what they want and making them happy. It does this without shame, without irony, without killing someone off immediately afterward. BECAUSE SOMETIMES ( Read more... )

Last night was finale-tastic! And, hey, let's throw a couple other shows from this week into the mix for good measure.
