...went back into the priest's office, and Lew looked horrible. It was kind of surreal, because I saw him in a suit, like he was getting ready to go through with the rehearsal, yet the look on his face didn't correspond with being in the suit. So I could see. I knew. I just knew before he said a word that the wedding wasn't going to happen. And then he said the five words that changed my life forever. "I just can't do it." (Read "The Biology of Dating...
...then came the snow. As 2,000-plus young activists - according to the organizers - gathered in the Spirit of Justice Park near the Capitol, bystanders were greeted with the surreal sight of a global-warming protest occurring in the middle of a freak March snowstorm.

Mostly the technology succeeds, however, not because it makes you feel you're underwater...
...first thing was the title, where I had something by Jonatha Brooke in mind, and the next day they got me on the phone with Jonatha Brooke. And I was like, wow, so that's how that works now. It was very surreal for me, because I've been a fan of hers for years. She wrote a beautiful theme that informs the kind of music that I like on the show. And then we basically get sent a bunch. Some of the music is not the music I listen to - for example, in the third episode Echo becomes...
