gahhh
I hate loud mouth noises more than anything else in the world.

Palm Tree of Life: The sneaky profundity of The... →
Nominated for five Academy Awards, boasting an 89 percent rating from Rotten Tomatoes, and tallying a healthy $75 million (and counting) at the box office, The Descendants is hardly in need of a defense—but it is in need of further discussion. For all its success, Alexander Payne’s film has been less unappreciated than unexamined…

I'm giving up tumblr for Lent.

…is an example of something I would say if I had willpower or moral courage.
I don’t think there’s any particular moral courage in giving up your limited time with something you enjoy when it isn’t harmful.
Willpower, however…probably.
I think I’m just annoyed with how universally praised giving up, say, television or internet or your...

I don't think Colbert is going to work with my...

Dr. Carver: So you'd be working for Romney's campaign, not Santorum's.
