WOAH
The hottie FBI agent (a la Dale Cooper/Fox Mulder form) on Dollhouse is Helo from BSG!!??!?!! WORLDS COLLIDE. But for realsies, HELO, UNF.
Also, Dollhouse is really good (I can’t believe I haven’t watched it until now), but that might just be my Whedon loyalties speaking.

wipethatfaceoffyourhead:
When confronted with anyone who holds my lack of religious faith in such contempt, I say, “It’s the way God made me.”
Everyone should read this. There isn’t a single thing to be disagreed with in it.
This is so perfect.

The recent Sunday puzzles
have been slowly draining my self-esteem. boo.
On the “bright” side, I now know that the word ARRANT exists in addition to ‘errant’, because it fucked up the middle of my grid.

SIKE.
But for realskies, I think I’m going through a growth spurt or something. Bre and I were talking about how I seem taller, like I’ve grown 1-2 inches (which is very important when you start out at 5’2), and lately my tatas have been burstin out of my flimsy lace “bras”—this is not to say that I’m in any way busty, but I’ve got a good handful...

OH, to be twelve and on facebook,
and therefore functionally illiterate? I should really de-friend my little cousin.
Maybe I wasn’t cool or popular enough to go through this phase (thank god for “gifted education” ostracizing me/my friends from the rest of the school). The only things I remember from middle school are doing these weird music harmonizing things at the nerdy-ish table during lunch, and...

“You graduate from Cal and run into an old friend from high school who has become a film producer. She has been involved in several projects to remake classic films from contemporary perspectives. Upon hearing that you have just completed your work in political ecology, and knowing what a good writer you are, she asks you to submit a script to her. She has three projects she has been vaguely...

Freshmen on FB be complainin’ about a five page double-spaced paper?
GIRL PLEASE, write a few thirty page science-policy analyses and then get back to me.
Just going to throw this out there:
Hidden within the depths of my tumblr drafts is an uncomfortably long essay that I wrote maybe a year ago (at three in the morning, under heavy influence of nyquil and the flu, and maybe weed) where I analyzed the differences between the OC and Gossip Girl, and by extension, the inherent flaws of GG.
The best/worst part is that by the end, my writing devolved into vaguely incoherent bullet...

IF THEY CAN’T MAKE IT, THERE IS NO HOPE LEFT IN THE WORLD.
But really, I am pretty sad about this, both on the level of them being my favorite celebrity couple, and on the level of me not wanting this to affect Dexter. Why are they doing this to me??????

okay,
yesterday was the hardest saturday nyt xword in a while. So much esoterica, even in terms of general crosswordese-trivia, I could hardly keep up. Plus, crossing ALEA JACTA EST with CLEMENZA and ABRAXAS? Crazy difficult for me, considering I have no working knowledge of greek or latin. I generally consider the level of useless trivia and esoteric knowledge piling up in my brain to...

I MUST HAVE A REALLY WINNING PERSONALITY
because either I’m the most unphotogenic person in existence, or I’m completely deluded about the reality of my physical appearance. UGH.

I think (morbidly, maybe) about murder sort of frequently.
Like for example, today I was alone in the house, sick and limping (sprained ankle, long story), an invalid for all intents and purposes. While I hobbled down the stairs to look for more chamomile, I thought about how especially awful it would be if a murderer chose this point in my life to forcibly enter my home and attempt to rape/kill...
