A ringing in the ears that sounds like a hovering mosquito, brought on by the anticipation that mosquitoes WILL begin to torment you just as you are dozing off.

I spent half the night swatting mosquitoes that weren’t there. Guess it was just mosquito tinnitus.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Michael%20Scott%20Racist&defid=7058085

A Michael Scott Racist is a generally well-intentioned person who tries so hard to be politically correct and to demonstrate that they are not racist that they show themselves to actually be racist. Named for Steve Carell's character on The Office who made a habit of being this.

Oscar: Both my parents were born in Mexico. And they moved to the United States a year before I was born. So I grew up in the United States. My parents were Mexican.
Michael Scott: Wow. Wow. That is... That is a great story. That's the American dream right there, right? Um, let me ask you, is there a term besides "Mexican" that you prefer? Something less offensive?

Kate: I'm not racist. I love all races, but especially Asians because although they're not great drivers, they really know how to run a buffet.
John: You're a Michael Scott Racist.

A Message from Ellen ( FROM her newsletter and her website. REMEMBER: I AM NOT ELLEN DEGENERES AND I DON'T HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH HER!)

I’m so excited to have the weekend to catch up on my favorite shows! There were so many big finales all week. I didn’t want to hear any spoiler alerts, so I did what any normal person would do -- I made the entire office take a vow of silence.

Here’s something I can’t be silent about -- my show this week! One of my closest friends is here to help me cohost: Jennifer Aniston. She’s the best person to talk to when it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.

And here’s the most exciting part… Portia de Rossi is the guest that day! She’s in the incredible new season of “Arrested Development”. I’m a huge fan of hers. That’s why I married her.

Also this week, I’m choosing the winner of the “Ellen, Here’s My Talent” contest! There is so much incredible talent out there. Mostly I got people who can make weird noises with their mouths, but still, so much talent.

Amanda Seyfried is here to tell me about being on the cover of “Allure”. I actually found a cover of something else she was on from years ago, and I can’t wait to show it to her.

And two of my favorite funny men, Kevin Nealon and Steve Harvey, are both here this week! I never realized how much they have in common. They both make me laugh every time I see them, and they both owe me over $6,000 in gambling debts.

And the beautiful Hayden Panetierre is here from the sexy show “Nashville”. Hayden likes to tell me things about her love life, so get ready for who knows what.

I also have amazing musical guests this week! The incredible Ed Sheeran is giving a concert extraordinaire (that’s French for extra-cool), Michael Bolton is performing a classic hit, and one of my favorite bands, Grizzly Bear, is here for the very first time!

I can’t wait. I really can’t. I’m going to drive over to the studio now.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Riker%27s%20Beard&defid=3827859

The opposite of jump the shark, i.e. when a TV show goes from unspectacular/boring/outlandish to completely awesome. It references Star Trek: The Next Generation, which was unspectacular until season 2, when Commander Riker grew a beard. The show kicked ass from then on.

"Man, Dollhouse really pulled a Riker's Beard last week with that awesome episode."
