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.
GUS!!! W00T!! Maybe I will get to travel this year. Just to Wisconsin, but still. I'll take travelling.
Yay for Gus.
I just shovelled the driveway. It was hardly worth it, really.
Factchecking
is
cool, kids:
Actor Samuel L. Jackson landed in trouble after taking his daughter Zoe out partying in Italy, because journalists claimed he was cheating on his wife with a much-younger woman. The Hollywood actor, 56, and his 22-year-old offspring enjoyed what they thought was an innocent night out together, but overzealous journalists soon reported that Jackson was being unfaithful to wife LaTanya. He says, "There was an article about me running from nightclub to nightclub with a girl young enough to be my daughter. And my mom called me and was like, 'What are you doing?' I'm like, 'Look, it was your granddaughter !' She's with me, we're in Milan, we're at the fashion shows, so at night we go to the clubs. My daughter's hanging out with me and for some reason they assumed it was someone else."
Bwah! Okay, that's funny.
