« In Which We Understand That It Was A Rough Week »

Week in Review

This is a calling from the Age of Aquarius. It doesn't matter if you're a run-away bride or a murdering hottie or an extra in The Hangover. If someone just farted, it might be Lebron James. To wit:

On the plus side, you can came back from this. As the poet wrote, "The mind of sinner isn't all that different from the mind of a saint."  I was the poet in this apocalyphral saying, which you will soon find yourselves coming across in Bartlett's. (I ransomed Bartlett's daughter.)

This week was about going to those places. To challenge yourself intellectually, you can look forward to reading our Summer Reading coverage, and we can look forward to the return of the One Week Only phenomenon when our coverage of a certain Jewish comedian hits your RSS readers.

Until then, all our emotions will be resolved through black-and-white photography and copious masturbation. Let all our days be so.

Programming alert: Molly will be liveblogging the True Blood premiere this sunday. She just loves Anna Pacquin in the role, esp. Anna's accent. No JK, Molly is just jealous of Anna Paquin, it's sad how jealous.

If I ever met Anna Pacquin, I would ask her what Harvey Keitel was like during the filming of The Piano.

Was I to have made this far journey, only to find the very thing which I had fled?

-- Paul Gauguin
