Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

They seem to have packed the Teppy present as well.

You have GOT to be shitting me. All I can do is laugh. I think I'm fated to *never* receive mail from Chez Zmayhem.

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

It's definitely not where I thought it was going to be, and I don't see it. It could still be here though.

Had much fun at the flea market with Kat, and bought too much stuff, but now I have a headache, and am going to lie down until it is time to go to ita's to get boxes.

My headache killed the board.

Huh.

What is even happening?

Lee, don't feel badly. It could be my stealth headache I hadn't mentioned.

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

My astonishment at not hating the sociopathic social climber might have killed the board.

Sure, it was pretty standard chicklit adaptation, but it was kinda cute.

I think I need an extra day off. I've shopped, I've socialized, I've laundered, I've cleaned, I've done taxes, I've even dusted.

And somehow this took two days and I still have ironing to do. And the other half of the dusting.

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

Wedding dress shopping was pretty fun, as I recall. Plus, pretty dresses. I still remember the reaction in the store every time I tried on the dress I eventually bought.

Except I already designed mine, lo these 20 years ago.

Ha! Every step of the wedding preparations, someone would ask me about the "wedding I always dreamed of." I was aghast. Dude, when I was 12 I wanted a dress that looked like something from LotR. To say my tastes had changed would be putting it mildly.

I don't think I ever had a particular "wedding I dreamed of." I did play dressup for just about everything (including being a professor. Which meant dressing in my dad's clothes and raiding the shelves of Harvard classics and making weird scribbles on graph paper) so I'm sure I played at that at some time. But nothing that stuck. Current hypothetical is courthouse and alert the relatives BEFORE HAND, unlike my brother. Who waited months. But it isn't really much of a priority. Or a concern.

Also? I just noticed I got COMMed. Apparently for being cheerful or hopeful or whatever. This amuses me, in a disturbed sorta way.

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

This is cross-posted with Buffistechnology:

I'm setting up my mom's TiVo, but I want to be able to connect the TV, cable box, TiVo, VCR, and dvd player in one long set.

Okay, I have a new problem. I only have two sets of AV cables. Is it possible to hook them all up in one long system? I did find two long cables that look like the AV cables, but they only have one little plug on the end, not three. One of them has little black plugs, and the other one has little red plugs.

I'm sorry if this is irritating. I'm beginning to get frustrated, so I'm not sure if I'm even asking correctly.

ETA:

Okay. Will all the machines function properly if the setup goes like this: TV --> cable --> VCR, cable-->TiVo -->DVD player?

The TiVo is not directly connected to the TV, like in the picture, but I didn't have an extra AV cable to make it happen, and the coaxial cable thing on the tv was already attached to the cable box, and I didn't want to undo it to attach the TiVo there, in that way, unless I had information that it would be a good idea. I don't even know if it's a good idea to attach it by coaxial cable, when it says to do that only when you don't have AV jacks on the TV.

Grr. I'm beginning to hate TiVo.

Also, the smell of pot emanating from my brother's room is giving me a headache. And it is about two degrees in my house. Grr grr grr.
