I enjoy Alias, but Vartan leaves me cold. I think it's because I started watching at the end of S2, and he's so damned *annoying* in S3. Bleah.
I like Weiss, though.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Oh, come on. Surely we can trust dating advice from a guy whose books include "Get girls with hypnotism" and "How to pick up exotic dancers".
It's wrong that my first thought was 'Jughandles!', right?

Yeah, you don't want to sit too close to the stage for the Nutcracker, though. The pretty goes away when you can see their tendons.
My Get Fuzzy desk calendar today has the following exchange:
Rob: "We're going to see "The Nutcracker."
Bucky: If you're taking us to the vet, just say "the vet"!

My DH had front-row seats for this ballet, and was really deeply disturbed by getting to see the dancers dance offstage, collapse in the wings, sweat, towel off, have a cigarette, scratch themselves, etc. Sort of ruined the theater magic I guess.
I just received a Christmas gift that may get me struck by lightning: a Lego set called "Vampire's Crypt" and a DVD of "Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter." Which appears to be a musical and a kung-fu action movie. It's brilliant.

We got up at 4. We went to the airport. We lost a bag with the baby's snowsuit and clementines in it somewhere between the bus and the security checkpoint. We got to the gate. The flight was cancelled. We opted for a flight at 8pm tonight instead of flying to Philly now and taking our chances. We went to Elmo's (chocolate chip pancakes!) and came home.
No, they do not have enough snowplows in Columbus after all. Bah humbug.

Vampire Legos? What will they think of next?

On the bright side, flea, you didn't lose the baby. And maybe they'll have the airplanes and the weather sorted out by 8 PM.
She would have outgrown the snowsuit anyway. :-)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Good grief. I went away for a week and there's a bazillion posts and a new thread. I give up; I can't keep up with you young'uns.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Timelies!
Do most people have to work today?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Well, officially yes, but I took the day off what with the cross-country plane ride coming up. Weather-wise, it looks like it may turn out to be good that I'm flying via Atlanta, though I give myself about a one in four chance of not making my connection there. (Forty minutes. I wouldn't normally even try that, but I left my ticket-buying really late and that was the best I could do. So, you know, worst-case scenario, I make it to my parents' Friday morning instead.
