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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
