You know how bad I didn't want to work today? I went and scrubbed the toilet instead. And then I went and worked on footnotes for The Prestige anyway

Wow. I JUST SAW The Kills at ACL in Austin this weekend.
(although, for the record, I didn't get a favorable impression. every artist playing in Texas between May and October complains of the heat, but The Kills are the only band I've seen that actually said they "don't do sun" and retreated to the back of the stage, away from the fans)
Um yeah. I left their set after around 4 or 5 songs because after the first couple the guy started complaining that we should call their agent and tell him about "the heat... and the light". HI YOU'RE PLAYING OUTSIDE IN SEPTEMBER IN CENTRAL TEXAS AT 1:30 IN THE AFTERNOON.
By the end of that song, VV moved her mic stand and guitar to the rear of the stage, where there was shade, and spent most of what I saw of the show back away from the crowd, citing that she was sorry she couldn't be closer but she "doesn't do sun".
Wow, take a shirt off or something. You're wearing like 3. And maybe invest in sunscreen.
TVTropes cannot be unleashed on an unsuspecting public. (Aside from the time that would be wasted, they may begin demanding originality from their entertainment.)
*sulks at the Seagull review* The only Broadway review that really counts is Brantley's, anyway. And possibly the AP's. (That's still Kuchwara, right?)
And "Dr. Manhattan's junk" is just a phrase I never, ever needed to read. Eugh.
For "Groundhog Day 2: Groundhog Day", press 5. To hear this description again, press 5.
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Somebody earned their pay, writing that one. The movie title alone is genius, the "again" is merely icing on the cake.

Coincidence?
Yes. That's what coincidence is. But the minty-fresh toilet is GOOD.
