Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oy. I'm having contractions. And my belly hurts.

I forgot how much I hate the last few months. Even worse, I didn't forget, it's just there's a big difference between remembering I was uncomfortable for months and actually BEING uncomfortable and realizing it is going to go on for months.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Oy, Burrell. I hope it eases up, at least for a while.

Kat, I think I need to borrow your Alias dvds this weekend.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Kristen, we're taping last week too because Weiss was so wonderful.

Also, is next week, Episode 5 because if it is, I am very scared and sad and afraid. I don't want anyone to die.

Oh Burrell, discomfort is of the suck! But there is an end in sight!


Kristen - Jan 19, 2005 8:49:06 pm PST #8432 of 10002

Alias, remember?

Yes, yes. I should know better. I didn't really think there would be any continuity but I felt obligated to make a token inquiry in case JJ switched to a new! improved! brand of crack. Now with arc-y goodness and marginal amounts of sense making.

But if you want a copy of last week, we can make it be so.

You guys are the bestest!

I wish I had something interesting to trade...I don't supposed you're interested in 6 episodes of American Justice? Um...all the episodes to date of Project Runway?

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

Okay, I cry like crazy. I'll cry at a stiff wind. At commercials. I cry every time I watch Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and Animal Precinct. I cry at movies. I cried at Titanic-- though at the part where the old couple is in the bed, and then the mom is reciting Winken, Blinken, and Nod-- not at the Rose and Jack parts. And yet, sometimes, if everyone else is crying, I get kind of contrary, and I don't cry. Very weird.

Man. I
t heart him desperately tonight. Shhh.... don't tell Alibelle.

Back. Off. All of you. He's mine, and we're very happy together.

Alibelle, you're welcome to Vartan. I just want Vaughn (it's a fine distinction but an important one).

Um. no. thanks though!

I'm so sorry you're uncomfortable, Burrell. That bites. But at least you get a nifty prize once it's all over.

Also... I kind of liked Point Pleasant. But I haven't seen the first half hour yet. I mean, it wasn't spectacular, but it was also a pilot. They tend to not wow me.

Ugh. Thanks Kat and Lee [and Alibelle]. I think I just need to go to bed. bleh.

DH was watching some insipid commentary on genocide. I found it depressing to hear well-meaning people mouthing lame platitudes like "Is genocide a 20th century phenomenon?" and--worse--"This is a global world now." WTF?


Kristen - Jan 19, 2005 8:54:23 pm PST #8437 of 10002

Yeah. That's what I figured.

Though the last episode where the guy's wife dies and everyone in town is like, "huh? he had a wife? No one's seen her in 20 years!" was really good.
