River ,'Objects In Space'
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.
I never heard the fifty dollars thing til last night.
Once again, DX is me. I was only taught (and have only actually heard) tiger, but I was aware at a fairly young age of the other. God knows from where - the curse of the young voracious but indiscriminatory reader.
I have been known to mock the British myself, although mostly over things like eating baked beans on baked potatoes and their fondness for standing in queues.
Oh, and also - the British? Try the Russians. We all know about the line-standing. When I was in Russia my brother's GF went to pick up baked potatoes for lunch.
What she went to get:
Something kind of plain, with maybe some broccoli or some other veggie on it.
What that translated to:
Slices of ham in cheese sauce
Pickled vegetables, sort of like a gardiniere
Pickles of the usual sort
Hot dog slices in mustard sauce
Something else I disremember
This is on each potato, mind you. They must have been out of beans.
That's some kind of potato. Wow.
Two tidbits from tonight's Alias:
1. Driveshaft's "You All Everybody" is playing at Weiss' party
2. Martin Bishop is Robert Redford's character in Sneakers
And Nadia is hot.
OK, I think I don't like the "Many Faces of Sydney Bristow" opening credits on Alias. Missed them last week. Not sure what they were before, but they didn't seem so....well, that.
Yeah, I definitely prefer the old credits. The also changed the music up a bit. It sounds too dischordant to me now.
I never heard the fifty dollars thing til last night.
Neither did I. I heard the racist version from my best friend in kindergarten through 2nd grade or so, though. He turned out to be a real jackass when we got older.
P-C, I knew that name sounded familiar and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why. Thanks.
I missed the song though. In my defense it may have been in the 2 minutes or so I missed due to a brownout.
I actually kind of got into Alias tonight. Huh.
There are a lot of Lost posts. Was it good, or bad?
HAHAHAHA!
OK, so what was the wig to revealing outfit ratio, huh? Miss. Watcher? Um, I didn't pay attention.
One-offs are so much better than the arcs, I think.
In other news, still need to find out the time limit on my jury duty leave, so I can figure out if I can check the ok for grand jury box. I'm way to consciencious. If work would give me 4 months, I'd be ok with OKing it even if I consider it a PIA. Probably most people check no, huh?
L&O:
So the big deal is that Serena Southerland is a lesbian? I think I preferred Kate's farewell to this one.
edited to add vowels, even if no one can hear their screams.
