'Beneath You'


Natter 33 1/3  

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Lori tells me that you can set a Tivo remotely by email.

I can set mine over the web, but I don't remember what time mine connects, so it's hit or miss if I can get a morning show taped.

I will try, though -- off to TiVo land!

I have a question -- why are people whitefonting for shows that have already aired? -t just whitefonted for something that happened several episodes ago.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I over whitefont as a rule. Just in case.

Thank you, -t. I remember Rory saying that but not his reaction. Marty? NSM on my radar.

Vortex, Natter is not NAFDA.

Plus whitefont makes me laugh.

Because they haven't aired outside of the NAFDA zone.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I can set mine over the web, but I don't remember what time mine connects, so it's hit or miss if I can get a morning show taped.

Mine's hooked into our wireless network*, so it connects pretty frequently. Verrrrry convenient.

(*Or rather, it would be it TWCNYC would get their collective head out of their collective ass and figured out how to hook up our damn cable already. As it is, I have to go to Radio Shack this afternoon and buy an antenna to watch Lost tonight. So very primitive...)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why does no one tell me these things before I leave the house?

I didna know! Until nearly 8 am PST. Or PDT, whichever.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, and I just had a cable modem trauma, where it said something was unplugged, but I swear nothing was, and then it got better. Is that the kind of thing that just happens?

Mine's hooked in to my network, but still only connects just more than once a day. Well, I've asked it for Ellen. Let's see if it plays nice. Oh! It repeats on Oxygen! I'll request that too, as backup.

I'm on some kind of high from my morning's workout. The gym has roving personal trainers, and now my psoas stretch is so much better. Plus, the lady with the towel also has ice packs. And then there's the hot tub.

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

Okay. If it's front drive and the problem is with the front axle -- specifically fromt left -- is that better or worse, in terms of "chances Lyra will die in a crash as a result of this"?

I talked to my boss who's a big car expert - he agree with what someone said above, that there would have to be tons of bad noise before anything as bad as a wheel falling off could happen. He says to not accelerate hard with the steering wheel cranked all the way to one side (like, if you were pulling out of a parking spot) and that something could still break, but the odds of it being a catastrophic safety problem are very tiny.
