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.

LOL!

Okay, now I should close the browser window and go get the work I came in to do, done.

Later my sister is picking me up for a mystery occasion. I suspect she got tickets to see Teatro Zinzanni. But then I just saw that Caroline, Or Change just opened here. It's Tony Kushner's new musical, and I'd love to see that.

Anyway. Off to be productive.

Bye!

I need to do that productive thing too, once my coffee kicks in more.

Thanks for the good back-ma. It isn't entirely well, but I'm mobile and able to get my groceries and et cetera without having to grab something and hold on. I also spent over $70 at Star Market and Whole Foods, so now I am well-supplied once again. I even got the suitcase in from the car, so already the day isn't a total loss....

Blind. Rage.

Is that what you're feeling right now, or are you correcting the writer's misunderstanding regarding what all the alleged "fans" were vocal about? Because all I ever heard were people saying what a travesty that show was and that it should be cancelled immediately.

I'm glad your back is better, Theodosia. I need to go do that grocery thing too.

How was the desert musuem?

SIgh. I came to school to copy readings for my classes. But the system for our swipe cards is down, so noone can photocopy! So I'm actually sitting here reading. I jsut read 62 pages on the origin of scripts in under an hour. See how much of that is absorbed!

Also, I'm distraught that I was not online yesterday to wish msbelle a happy birthday. So:

Happy Belated Birthday Msbelle!!!

Lee, the Desert Museum was heaven with cacti. I haven't had much chance to write about it on LJ, will get to it in a bit.

In the meantime, I tore apart the wiring in the back of the towering "media center" because my roommate said one of the TiVo peanuts had fallen behind the TV, and that was the only way to get in back there. I only discovered after undoing most of them that the peanut (aka the remote) was actually knocked into the magazine holder a couple of feet away. She'd seen it disappear and assumed it had gone behind the TV, since she couldn't reach back there. Typical, alas. The real mystery is why I listened to her in the first place.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

It seems this weird fanfuck. Cancel a show because no one is watching, but then bank on an assload of people paying to see it? It's odd. And infuriating from the perspective of a fan that has worked her ass off to plead with the network that a fanbase for a show is growing.

It's depending on a fanbase to squawk really loud, building curiousity and interest in a show, and then selling it to them. It seems assbackward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm watching the Battlestar Galactica miniseries for the first time. Huh. Is it me, or does it rock?

I'd put it more like "doesn't suck as much as expected" -- there's at least one DS9 writing/producing alumni on the show, and it shows.
