It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

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.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

(I never quite figured out what definition of "evil" would include suburban Pennsylvania but not New Orleans.)

Mispronunciation of "pecan"?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Leaping into Natter to announce that according to my Simpsons 2005 Fun Calendar, today is Orlando Bloom's 28th Birthday.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Heather got a raise? Sweet!

I did! Not as much as I wanted, but $30 more a week isn't chump change.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I did! Not as much as I wanted, but $30 more a week isn't chump change.

Dude, that's a Wonderfalls DVD set every week right there.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Good thing, because I want to buy a couple of sets for friends I know who are going through some hard times.

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

::scrunches nose::

Actress Nicolette Sheridan is suffering from a bout of the flu - which was exacerbated after she jumped into her cold swimming pool naked to save her dog. The Desperate Housewives star has been struck down with the ailment for more than a week, and she blames it on her ignorance about her 12-week-old golden retriever Oliver's swimming abilities - and the fact she was cleaning her home in the nude. After returning from a Christmas trip to Aspen, Colorado, Sheridan cleaned off the puppy in her swimming pool after he got himself dirty in a rose pot - and her actions gave the pooch new ideas on causing mischief. She says, "The next thing you know, he goes outside and he's right back in that pool again. Now I think he's drowning! I run naked into the cold pool. I was cleaning (my house) naked. It's (a normal thing to do) when I'm feverish... So I saved the dog, but little did I know at 12 weeks old they can swim. But you know what, I'll fall for all of his tricks because I'm madly in love with him.

What is even happening?

Oh, yeah. Too much celebrity information.

I can't even.

Publicity stunt? Nicolette Sheridan cleans her own house? Would she jump into her cold pool if Terrell Owens was drowning in it?

Punishingly Intricate

sara, when's your jury duty? I'm there next Friday.

I was called last year also and it just meant sitting in the jury room until lunch. Going to lunch. Coming back and watching part of Meet the Parents. Getting called to a courtroom in another building. Sitting there while they finished up a different case. Them figuring out they wouldn't have time to start a new trial or something (it wasn't exactly clear) and so being led back to sit in the jury room for another hour or so and then being let go. I'm hoping it goes that way again. Except for the Meet the Parents part. That was awful.
