Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

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

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

Thanks, Perkins! I plan on it. How are you?

Other trivial things about me: I just ran out of deodorant this morning, and when I went shopping this afternoon I had to buy a different type, and now I keep catching the scent, and getting confused about whom I'm smelling. It's kind of funny. In an annoying way. But anyway, now you're all updated on my nails, my headache, and my deodorant. Am I forgetting anything else you were all desperately wanting to know?

I'm doing well, though getting disgusted at the amount of crap I own.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Wee flea is a LETHAL CUTENESS BOMB! And I wouldn't have recognized Mr. flea had you not properly labelled him as such, because the last time I saw him he was goatee-free and had longer hair.

Um, I can't believe that you're watching Summerland.

It was okay, when there was nothing else on tv.

But tonight: 24!!!

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

Re: Summerland -- I had some hope for Bradin, because I think he's been an excellent brother the past couple of eps. However, I read (or maybe it was previews that hinted) that he is going to express feelings for Erica again. And they'll be reciprocated. And, perhaps surprisingly, I find that icky.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

given that much of his very-religious-right base considers the Pope a Very Bad Thing.

I was under the impression that the current bigwig Cardinals had been courting the American religious right for some time now.

Charles and Camilla are having a civil ceremony and a church wedding, kind of.

The Beeb explains:

Prince Charles and Mrs Parker Bowles plan to marry in a civil ceremony at Windsor's Guildhall, followed by a church blessing in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, which the Queen will attend.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am really encouraged by the visible separation of civil marriage from church ceremonies -- I really wish that would take off more here.

I think that sort of seperation is fairly typical in places that are not here.

The UK rules are incredibly strict -- civil ceremonies can't mention God at all, period, no exceptions for the bride's favorite poem or the groom's heretically named pet dog, NONE. So having a religious ceremony separate from the actual marriage is pretty common, at least among my survey sample of two couples I know.
