I had Stove Top stuffing for dinner

Day 5: Favorite Quote Blergh. Actually, that is itself a quote, from Liz Lemon on 30 Rock. I tend to co-opt useful phrases from television and movies. Oscar Wilde is an excellent source of wisdom and poignant ennui. But for one-liners, it's gotta be Henry David Thoreau: "Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it." I find it useful in life, remembering that most of what we think of as rules are the arbitrary decisions of someone unwilling to perform their own due diligence.
Also, a friend discovered today what I've known since people from middle school began friending me on Facebook: its true purpose is allowing us to see what the ravages of time had wrought upon our girlhood crushes. Mine is now a paunchy accountant with a receding hairline. It eases my bitterness about how things went down with him.
