'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

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

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?

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.

The evil is this way?

I generally like it. It way rocks compared to the original.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have been watching Netflixed Season 1 Alias-- a show I only watched intermittently as it was on.

I have a question about Francie:

At the end of some season I watched, Francie was evil. Was she meant to be evil all along (like in the Season 1 episodes) or was she somehow replaced.

Also, the episode with John Hannah was AWESOME! Does he come back?

I like the idea how the only reason that Galactica survived is that they refused to use network computers (due to the Cylon's ability to hack into defense computers).

Sophia, she was replaced with an evil double.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Sophia, she was replaced (i.e., she is not evil in season 1), and no, more's the pity. I love him with a pure love.

Sigh. Knew it would be a X-post.

All is well that ends in pizza.

It was almost a triple X-post, but I refreshed my browser first.
