Sophie Says Sooth (2002.11.18): "I think a decent lawyer and a sympathetic jury would probably net us a couple of million dollars each after we pay the exorbitant lawyers' fees. What do you say? Because, I tell you what: that kind of cash is going to lower my stress levels right down to nothing. I should be so lucky as to have my biggest problem be what to do with all of my money."
Matriculation Reloaded (2002.11.17): "We didn't wind up with as big a sample size as we would've liked, which means we're going to be calling people back who don't follow through on completing the survey. That's sure to be fun: 'Hey, remember that person you gave your e-mail address to just to get them the hell off the phone?'"
Sophie Says Sooth (2002.11.11): "A recent issue of Seventeen magazine contained an article on how to dress 'emo.' You know your silly little independent trend is over when it hits teen girly magazines. Better just go trade in all that stuff in your music library for some BNL. Rock on."
Juliana Hatfield / Gold Stars 1992-2002: "As interesting and important as it is, though, I never would have bought it had I not found a copy for $10 at a used record store called Nuggets in Boston. I have all of Juliana's solo records, which means I have all the would-be hits including here."
Transmetropolitan: Back on the Street: "Spider Jerusalem, despite generally coming off as a PCP-addicted version of Daffy Duck, is a very deep character in terms of moral core and values. Such is the case when Spider lashes out at the womanizing leader of the Transient community regarding his abuse of authority over the Transients and his habit of knocking up his female followers."
Kay Hanley / Cherry Marmalade: "When the tenth track, 'Galapagos,' came on, I nearly tuned the road out entirely. It's one of those tracks that comes by once every few years, saying exactly what your inner siren is trying to express at exactly the right time; for me, the last one was Juliana's 'Choose Drugs' in the spring of 2000."
San Diego Comic-con 2002: Part 1: "A lot of it sounded like standard conspiracy theory bullshit; I would like to believe him about the income taxes, though. Apparently it has something to do with the improper ratification of the 16th Amendment and taxing our privilege of earning money."
