hip deep in pie

It was CNN Headline news, not the regular channel.

What is even happening?

I had pizza too, and the good wine we haven't bought since we realized we're much broker than we thought we were. Whee!

I was going to say something last night but it felt inappropriate in the face of Sean's trauma re: his dead car.

I didn't come back online after watching it. I am really irrationally angry with someone who doesn't exist. I don't know if I ever got this angry with a single character on BtVS. Maybe altogether, but not any individual. During their last scene together, the last time Adam called Joan "Jane," I really wanted her to turn and give him that death eye, and say, "The name's Joan," and then walk out the door. Oof. That was a gut punch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Last week or so, I went to a speed dating thing that was filmed by CNN.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Jesse -- did I miss something? Did you bust up a speed-dating event and get on CNN?

ION, here's a thread at the Democratic Underground forums where people are posting their favorite pictures of the pope: [link]

I know, it sounds cheesy, but some of the pictures, particularly with children, are very sweet.

Ooh, how do you find out when it's gonna be on again? (The Jesse thing, not the Pope thing.)

Oh, I didn't get into the whole thing here? It was supposed to be regular speed-dating, but half the guys had been recruited by CNN for a story on people's impressions of tall vs. short men. So then they interviewed some of us after, and that has apparently been made into a bit on CNN Headline News.

Edit: So I don't know how you know when they'll air it. It was supposed to be a segment for Anderson Cooper 360, but I don't know when that was supposed to air, either.

Holy crap, Jesse -- I actually had Headline News on for the Short Guy clip, and I turned to another channel b/c I thought it was lame and boring (okay, short guys make less money than taller guys -- try having a pair of ovaries), but I even caught a snippet of the speed dating before I turned.

I ALMOST SAW YOU, but I was judgmental and hasty. Darn it! Darn it to heck!

Art Crawl!!!

I imagine that the Pope thing is 24/7 right now.

Woot - Illinois won!

I haven't been watching, but they kept showing the score on the crawl at ESPN2 (where I was watching a horse race) and I had to see the end.

Wow. First time Illinois goes to the Final EVER.

JoA: OMG, Cindy! That would have been so good! But you know, I was also saddened that no one will ever call her "Jane" again and if they did -- it would be this bitter bitter thing.

Also? Just because Malcolm Gladwell has it in his new book does not make it news!! Anyway, the whole thing was annoying, because the guys who were most interesting were not actually there to meet people. Eh.
