What’s got two thumbs and became a Friend of the Library this week? This flyass bitch right here, that’s who!
Now how do I tell the library I’m ready to take our relationship to the Next Level?

Pizza for Mayor West?
No! You got me Canadian bacon instead of bacon? This misdeed can not go unpunished. Pizza delivery man, prepare to meet your maker, at the hands of my cat launcher. … Damn, I lost him. All right, cats, back in the bag.
Come on, Fluffy, come on, Mittens — come on, Paul. What a ridiculous name for a cat: Paul. That’s a person’s name. A person’s name!

Movie Moment: Groundhog Day
February 2, 2011This post originally appeared on February 2, 2010, and I’m perfectly fine with retreading it despite it not being a Take-two Tuesday nor Flashback Friday because it’s actually quite appropriate given the film.
It’s cold out there every day. Rise and shine, campers, because it’s Groundhog Day (Harold Ramis, 1993)!
Phil Connors: Excuse me, where is everybody going?
Fan on Street: To Gobbler’s Knob. It’s Groundhog Day!
Phil: Uh — It’s still just once a year, isn’t it?
Phil: I’m a god.
Rita: You’re God?
Phil: I’m a god. I’m not the God. (pause) I don’t think.
Phil: What if there is no tomorrow? There wasn’t one today!
Phil: Oh, Rita.
Nancy: Uh, it’s Nancy.
Phil: Whatever.
Phil: I went to the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas … at sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn’t I get that day over and over and over??
Ned: Ned Ryerson — Needlenose Ned, Ned the Head! Bing! So, what are you doing for dinner?
Phil: Um. Something else.
Phil: You wanna throw up here, or you wanna throw up in the car?
Ralph: I think … both.
Phil: When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life. But standing here among the people of Punxsutawney and basking in the warmth of their hearths and hearts, I couldn’t imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter.
Rita: What did you do today?
Phil: Oh, you know. Same-old, same-old.
