Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The new posting box still doesn't resize right with Firefox using the Dystopia scheme. It's too frelling wide, and they don't seem to want to hear any complaints about it.

eta: Having the icons right there are nice, but sometimes that combo box doesn't show up for me, seemingly at random.

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

There ought to be a personal space bubble emoticon!

Heh. I'm in for this.

I don't know what that means. or I don't know what schemes are. or something. my box fits on my screen using Firefly is most of what I know.

I also know a bean and cheese burrrito is in my near future.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You people confused me up there, with sara and hayden and consuela's posts -- I thought Mrs. hayden was going to be giving birth underwater! But nsm, right?

Also, Alias is like VIP? Maybe I will give it a try!

I think everyone said everything I had to say about TAR, but the music in that one part just made me laugh and laugh. And I still hate most of them at least some of the time, which also made me more likely to laugh at their pain.

Prep takes so much longer than the actual meeting.

I used to work at a place where a meeting with the president meant a pre-meeting with the vp, a pre-meeting for that pre-meeting, and separate written materials for each of the meetings. I shit you not.

What is even happening?

Jesse, I thought the same thing when I first read immersion. It took me a couple of moments to sort it all out.

She's great. And by "great," I mean she's healthy and carrying around a big ol' baby in her belly. We're only 6 weeks out from the due date! Jeez, I feel like I'm never going to get everything ready in time. But we took a class on the Bradley method of natural birthing, and we feel fairly confident that we can handle whatever we face.

Hayden, I didn't realize y'all were so close. Go team baby! What does the Bradley method entail?

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

Smaller boobies, natch.

I wish. We have two hour weekly status meetings, for which I need to do no prep. Which is just as well, because everyone else eats 1 hour and 50 minutes talking about FOUR PROJECTS TOTAL, and I can bring folks up to speed on my six in ten minutes.

What is their damage? And why do I have to sit there for it?

Actually, I know why. I think we're pretty close to a fist fight breaking out. I need to be there for that.

ok, VIP is like a comedy Alias, without international intrigue and just silly bad guys. But there are costumes and wigs and fights. I think there are more explosions in VIP.

My prep for meetings takes so long because people do not know what they need to know from me. That and I have a million seperate tasks.

The short-haired girl didn't have big boobies, did she?

Also, I was mostly just kidding that Alias would be like VIP. But I did like the VIP quite a great deal. But who doesn't love Pam Anderson? (If your answer is "me," please don't respond.)

I'm so terrible about prepping for meetings. I won't rehearse presentations, and hate handouts. For the day-long meeting in August, though, we had forever and forever and eternal prep.

Day-long meetings should be banned. But the food was good.
