Jonathan ,'Touched'
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.
Welcome back, Gus! Not that, you know, anyone's ever really away, this being a global world now and everything.
Sorel, FWIW, is hibiscus flower.
Huh. Did not know that. I've had both sorel and hibiscus tea, and I can see some similarity, but I don't think I would have connected them.
Safe-travel-home-ma for Gus!
I haven't left the house for four days, thanks to the stoopid head-cold snot monster. I'm afraid I'm going to have to go out and get formula today, though--I forgot to have DH pick some up last night.
I'm glad I didn't waste any precious time on Point Pleasant. I didn't even clutter up the TiFaux with it.
Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus!! Come baaaaaaaaaaaack!
DH was watching some insipid commentary on genocide.
That was pretty dumb (although it did have the cool factor of being hosted by Linda Ellerbee), but it followed the first part of what looks to be an excellent documentary on the Holocaust. I caught the last hour or so, and it was very well done, even the reenactments were well-performed. The other two parts are being broadcast next week and the week following.
As for what makes me cry, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is a guaranteed open spigot, ET gets me every time, and the first time I really bawled watching an insipid TV movie was "Something for Joey," back in the late 70s/early 80s (kid dying from leukemia, his pro-football-playing big brother supports him in his final days--waaahhh!!). The song that gets me every.damn.time is "Puff the Magic Dragon," for some reason.
I'm glad I didn't waste any precious time on Point Pleasant. I didn't even clutter up the TiFaux with it.I did, but then canceled the recording and erased the few minutes (Lost runs long) that it did catch. I was a bit relieved not to have to like a show for which I'd always be missing the first 3-4 minutes, on account of Lost.
The song that gets me every.damn.time is "Puff the Magic Dragon," for some reason.
It gets you, because that little rat-bastard Johnny Paper forgot all about poor Puff, and he ceased his mighty roar.
Or you know, possibly because it is about the death of childhood innocence and it's a killer.
Someone posted a while ago about a Buffy alum guest starring on Veronica Mars.
Well, it's not Sarah Michelle Gellar.
Warning, that link contains plot details for the episode, so I didn't actually read it. If you don't want to click, the guest star will be, in fact Alyson Hannigan.
God it's beautiful here this morning. Mid-twenties, so it's cold enough to be bracing without being unpleasant, light winds, snow falling. Just back from dog walking - wish I didn't have to go to work and could take her back out. We're supposed to get 6-12 inches this weekend.
Gak. I am two days behind on tv watching and have yet another evening activity tonight (FTR, work meeting, bookclub, work event). I am ready for a night to myself.
Welcome back Gus!
Safe travels and welcome home to Gus.
Concentration-ma to Raquel.
I am awake, and showered, and soon to be dressed and leaving the house. It's not yet fully light out. It is all extraordinarily painful.
Sorel, FWIW, is hibiscus flower.
It's a hibiscus, but isn't readily recognisable as one by eye. The plant looks like this. I'm not sure of its seasonality, but I've heard people say it has one, unlike the daily repetitive hibiscus flowers we use as decoration.
