He’s so earnest, it hurts. He’s so simple-minded, so over-the-top, so easy to understand, so vulnerable, so whiny…really, he’s the last, best hope for nerdy, unhip intellectuals everywhere. He lacks anything resembling grit, and has to settle for over-achieving solemnity, instead. And he succeeds! And he doesn’t even need a girl! Which brings us to our third point?...
...grandmother means well, but I have to grit my teeth when the topic of dating comes up. I recently dated someone for sixteen months, and he visited my rural hometown after we had been together for a year. Afterwards, she e-mailed to say that she enjoyed meeting my “friend.” I’m not quite sure where the quotes came from, since she’s fairly tolerant and fully aware that we had been dating for a while.

The soundtrack also includes the bonus track “Love Heals,” written by Jonathan Larson for an organization promoting AIDS education while he was writing...
...That's because the main force of the floor washer is a rapidly rotating brush that buffs the floor with the cleaning agent then sucks up the dirty water into a separate tank. On the front, there's a small vacuum mechanism meant to pull grit and small particles out of the way before the scrubbing. Another advantage the Scooba has over the Roomba is that it's easier to empty out when the cleaning is over. You dump the dirty water into the sink or toilet, shake the vacuum filter out over the trash can and eject the brush...
