Since November of 2006, I have been slowly plodding through Dark Shadows, the classic vampire soap opera from the '60s. I've watched some 270 episodes now, but considering there are a total of 1,225 episodes to see, at my current pace, I won't be finished with the show until some time in 2019.

But in all the hundred hours of the show I've seen so far, my favorite line came in the episode I saw last night:

"I was under the impression that you wanted to discuss my harpoon collection."

Also, the framed reproduction of the portrait of Barnabas Collins hanging in my living room often yields amusing results while watching the show:

A new roommate has arrived at my apartment, which means it's time for another ridiculously decorated room. We've begun to decorate our kitchen with a fancy-restaurant-meets-very-muddled-understanding-of-Jewish-holidays theme, just in time for the High Holy Days.

This is the permanent kitchen set-up that I wake up to every morning:

I'm thinking my apartment needs an easy name to refer to it by. Perhaps The Playhouse would be logical, as Pee Wee tends to be the most frequent point of reference used to describe it?
