"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Huh. Actually the small tag is making those quotes display smaller on my monitor, though the distinction isn't as clear as using the greater than carat (or indented like same).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Small works here fine.

Interesting. I'm using IE 6 on XP Pro. I have the text size set to "smaller" under view. You'd think that any t small text would appear smaller still, but it doesn't. If I change text size to normal, then t small does indeed appear smaller than normal text.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I'll teach her how to set the VCR.

Sigh, I'd estimate I've instructed my mom and my aunt how to set the vcr a dozen times over the last dozen years.

As opposed to teaching them, which apparently I haven't done successfully.

They are both bright people, so I have to assume it's just not being reinforced, or else it's just not their "thing." Heck, they can set the clocks, so...no blinking 12:00.

Who? moi??

Write the instructions down, step by step. Then have them follow the steps while you are there. Be very simple in the wording. Sympathize a lot.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Now that I'm re-watching, I'm reading WAY too hard into everything.

Shannon (to Claire): Do you know what it is?

Claire: Not yet.

Me: Evil! EEEVILLL!!

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

How about this:

Claire: Did anybody hear that?
Me: (sarcastically) NO! They're all deaf! (to self) What a blonde.

eta: I'm not saying that blonde people are dumb, but this falls into "blonde joke" territory.

I had asked a question upthread that I just got answered...

tvtome.com has the next episode of Lost starting January 5 right before the Alias premiere.

The appearance of things change according to the emotions and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.--Kahlil Gibran

Jon B. thanks, i was un-caffienated this morning and thought of the HTML error/s as i drove down the road. 'doh! thanks, i will get the hang of it, eventually.

new weird theory: courtesy of my 13 y/o daughter. what? sometimes she is brilliant. other times, not so much. *g*

she says that she thinks that ALL the survivors have a "special" skill/gift. and that when they are ALL together in the right place/right time, they have this life force that enables them to do good things, weird occurances (polar bear) or even possibly something evil. so somehow this power is a force that must be learned and controled. the island works as a conduit making the power/s stronger.

that is it...have at it. it is weird now that we share the same TV show love. i am still dealing with that. :P

edited b/c i have NOT had enough tea or something...and my grammar sucks.
