Er... timelies?

Cash, it's good wine. And the winery itself is one of the prettiest I've seen -- lots of glass, good vistas.

Yeah, I grew up in Ohio and it was RPS there, not roshambo. When I taught in northern california, all of my students called it roshambo and I could only think, "Huh?"

Regionalisms fascinate.

I'm going to see Kartchner Caverns today, which is damn exciting -- I've only ever been in two caves, and this is a special "live" one that they've got elaborate precautions on to keep relatively un-tainted by the human traffic.

t clutches both mini-flashlights she always carries protectively

Random fun giraffe fact: their tongues are almost exactly in proportion to their height -- a newborn giraffe has a 7 inch tongue, an adult 18-footer has an 18 inch tongue, et cetera.

Hi peeps!

Re: VM - I will admit that I am more concerned about Wallace and Logan than about Veronica. Midway through season 1 that's not a good place to be. (Of course, that's the place I was at with Crossing Jordan from the first episode.)

Wallace is looking cartoony to me, but I adore Logan. Not enough to keep watching, though.

Very cool. My parents loved it. (I'm sensing a theme. My parents go more interesting places than I do lately. Must rectify.)

Foggy here.

Going to Kartchner Caverns today!

Have fun, theodosia. They are really cool.

eta: If you have time, you might also want to go to the Desert Musuem, which is very cool, and has a lot of local animals, like javelinas and mountain lions and coyotes. Live, not musuemy.

How did the whole poem go, with the making him pay, bit? Where's the rhyme?

Oops. I meant toe, not tail. So it goes:

Eenie, meenie, miney, moe
Catch a tiger by it's toe
If he hollers, make him pay
Fifty dollars every day.

We have thunderstorms with hail in some areas, flash-flood warnings, and a fog advisory. And snow predicted for tonight. Are the forecasters just trying to cover all bases, or should I anticipate rain of toads before we switch to sub-zero temps at the end of the week?

VM: So the fact that the listening in didn't even ping me probably says something about me, and not a good something. Meep. The kaoroke was weird and gratuitous, but I love the song and KB really sold it. I have to admit I did laugh out loud at "Smile and say "repressed homosexuality" despite it being a pretty old chestnut, and I thought the very end of the episode was an effective sucker punch.

That said, I REALLY don't care much for the Veronica character anymore, despite really liking KB, because she strikes me as the smuggest teenager ever (and not just this episode), which in TV-Land takes some doing.

I think I'm sticking it out, though, since a) 24 won't be interfering with it after all, b) they are supposedly wrapping up the mystery and I would like to know what's the what, c) I still like the supporting cast (and characters) a LOT, and d) I figure it won't get renewed, so I may as well ride this year out.

When I realized that VM is basically a teenager with the maturity of a 24 year old, I suddenly had a lot less respect for KB as an actor.
