Octopus Garden and Caramel Apartments
I had a dream the other night where I was lost in a facility - it was like a cross between a spa and a centre for the “emotionally and mentally vulnerable” - and it was a facility I had been in before. I saw more rooms than I did last time (cause I kept going round and round) but just like last time I ended up in a particular place. It was a really zen room, with a neatly dressed...

Debra: Did Hey Arnold's parents die in a car crash?
Me: A car crash? A car crash killed Lily and James Potter!?
Debra: YOU ALWAYS DO THAT. Every damn time I say "car crash". But seriously, you only ever saw his grandpa.

First dates
Leslie: What if I get drunk and talk about Darfur too much? Or not enough? What if I don't bring up Darfur enough?
Ann: Leslie, relax.
Leslie: Yeah, I just have a few more questions for you, Ann. What if he shows up with another woman? What if one of my sleeves catches on fire and it spreads rapidly? What if instead of Tic Tacs I accidentally pop a couple of Ambien and I have to keep punching my leg to stay awake?
Ann: Those are all insane hypotheticals and I promise you they won't happen.
Leslie: They have happened. All of these have happened to me. (switch to talking head) No, there's more. One time I accidentally drank an entire bottle of vinegar. I thought it was terrible wine. Once I went out with a guy who wore 3D glasses the entire evening. Oh, one time I rode in a sidecar on a guy's motorcycle and the sidecar detached and went down a flight of stairs. Another time, I went to a really boring movie with a guy and while I was asleep he tried to pull out one of my teeth. I literally woke up with his hand in my mouth. We went out a couple of times after that, but then it got weird.

Humid Echoes!
Tom Haverford: I bet cave sex is insane.
Leslie Knope: Why?
Tom Haverford: Because of the echoes! And the humidity.

I Remember November 5th
As late as 3 November, no one could have imagined that the election would culminate the way it did. Certainly I couldn’t. After all, who would have guessed that the worst accusations lobbied against John McCain by Barack Obama’s most fervent supporters, and against Barack Obama by John McCain’s, would turn out to be true? That Barack Obama was indeed a covert Muslim terrorist – and also,...

Frigidly
Love is hourly, too. There are stories about people who have loved someone forever after laying eyes on them for a few minutes and then nevermore, but these stories have not happened to anyone we know. No, when you love someone you spend hours and hours with them, and even the mightiest forces in the netherworld could not say whether the hours you spend increase your love or if you simply spend...

I love you so soundly
“I love you so soundly and I will do anything to drag you forward. You’re mine, Lila. You’re my star quarterback.” “I fucking hate football,” Lila sobbed. “Blow up the game for me when I’m gone.” “I won’t do a thing,” I said. “Without you I’m not moving.” Through the front window was another cliche, rain...

Soundly
“No,” she said. “The window’s only open a few hours, is what they said. If I don’t get there they can’t do the operation and that guy will be dead for nothing.” “Listen to me,” I said, and I felt the fury in my throat. The weight of the world isn’t worth it, not even with the love which will die and go away, but each moment with Lila...
