I hate kitchens. I don't understand these enormous American kitchens that take up half the living room and then they just order pizza.

What do I do when we're not taping? Sit in a dark room and refine my plans for someday ruling Earth from a blimp. And chess.
I keep a night light on because my room is so full at night, I can't get to sleep!
I'm the sort of person who would be perfectly happy spending an entire day in a rare books room.
I don't know, in view of the situation and the act going where it was going, I don't know, the rage did go all over the place. It went to everybody in the room.
