ita, I just realized I haven't eaten any tamarind balls yet. I think I may need to change that today.

I think I may need to change that today.

I highly recommend that.

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?

God must be punishing Chicago for something naughty someone did.

ION, I have the sinus infection from hell. That's right - if you were to take the virus and look at it under an electron microscope, you'd see "Made in Hell" on the bottom.

Soon I shall be forced to find a power drill so I can releive the pressure....

Harumph.

bites thumb at the VM-bashing

Everyone seems to be talking about a new VM, but my TiFaux taped the Purity Test episode last night. Wha happened?

Oh wait. No it didn't. It didn't tape it at all last night. Can anyone sum it up for me, or point me to a recap?

I highly recommend that.

But then I won't have them any more. It's a dilemma.

lots of -ma for lisah's best friend's dad.

Heh. tightie whities save the day.

There's a National Pie Day?

Edited. Not enough caffeine this morning.

I think it is lisah's best friend's dad who we should be sending the ma to.

Can anyone sum it up for me, or point me to a recap?

Couch Baron's recaplet will give you the scoop.

Harrumph indeed. The basic mystery is that someone has framed VM for making false IDs. The guy who fingers her admits that the school's secret society (Tritons) made him do it. VM goes on a badly-scoped investigative mission, involving recording the drop spot for ordering ID cards, but doesn't actually look at the tape until the last minute. In the meanwhile, she's also trying to track down the pledge class of the Tritons, including Duncan Kane.

It turns out that the kid who pointed the finger was the one framing her and the Tritons, because he was pissed they didn't ask him to pledge. This means that the million dollar lawsuit against VM (for making the IDs that led to the kid's friend drinking himself into a coma) and others is dropped, and Kane isn't affiliated with dorks (VM gets photos of the society, but gives them back to Duncan).

Running alongside that, VM put a radio broadcast thingy in the counsellor's office, and listens to Duncan and Logan and Weevil talking about Lily's death -- she learns that Duncan was on meds (including but not limited to ADs) and is prone to 'episodes' without them, and that Logan blames himself and everyone (they were kinda broken up when she died, because of VM telling Lily that Logan kissed someone else) for the death, and that Weevil and Lily dated during one of the L/L off times. That's the bit that grossed me the most.

Also, Logan and his parents have a huge argument in school, with threats of violence (by Logan), and the episode ends with the view of one of the Echoll's sports cars on a bridge, door open and empty.
