I don't really watch TV except for the recorded stuff I watch when using the Treadmill. Right now Babylon 5, next up Futurama.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have so many little purses I never carry, it's ridiculous. But I always want more! They're so cute! And they always fit. I mean, my stuff doesn't necessarily fit in them, but I don't have to try them on, do I?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I once, reflexively and in a sleepy haze mind you, kicked my mother in the chest when she leaned over to cheerfully wake me up.
From that day forth she'd stand in the doorway and yell and flick the light.
It was in no way intentional, but it cured that cheerful shit and good.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I sometimes sing "Oh, how I hate to get up in the morning!"
I do that! "Oh, how I hate the bugle's call!"
No one is gonna tell me my lunch is safe to eat?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
ita, agreed on your white-font. I really liked the set-up for AJ's character though-- the ex-military genius cryptographer or whateverthehell she was doing, with a bit of a formal awkward manner, but obviously a quick-study. Here's hoping they don't make her too slick too soon. I'm very meh on the lawyer though, who's too patently put there as Daly's love-interest.

The status is NOT quo.
My mother was pure evil in the morning. Not only did she sing ("Rise and Shine" or "Good Morning"), but she also frequently squirted me in the face with a water gun. She would also put easy listening on REALLY LOUDLY. I have a stone hatred for Barry Manilow as a result.

I can't even.
My father was the obnoxious waker-up in the family. He was always gone at the crack of dawn during the work/school week, but on the weekends, no sleeping in for us, no sir. "You're wasting the day!", he would bellow, channelling the drill sergeant-major from his RAF days.
Now, as a retired person, he's seldom out of bed before 9am and I am a confirmed, dyed-in-the-wool night owl/sleeper-in.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Good Morning Song my mom sang:
Good Morning Mary Sunshine!
Why do you wake so soon?
You frightened all the stars away!
And chased away the moon!
To this day, I'm not sure if she was saying that Mary Sunshine was really ugly and if so, why did she sing it to ME??? Implication that I was ugly enough to scare away stars and moons??

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Singing mothers. Weird.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I am almost completely uninterested in series tv this year, it seems, and it makes me sad. I just started watching Alias, but can't really get in to it, tried Grey's Anatomy, but wasn't into it, etc., etc. Not being home most evenings doesn't help, either. I just feel so cut off from the community!!
My must-watch-on-the-night-of TV shows right now are Survivor and I just got into Arrested Development.
