Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

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.

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

I haven't had a connected VCR since I got my TiVo

So you've been wrong all this time? I can't believe I hadn't realised.

I've probably spent way too much time thinking about TV furniture. And for all that, I ended up improvising. I'm way too lazy to use doors anyway. And I'd feel like the armoire was holding me back from a 65" TV.

Yeah, that's what'd stop me getting one.

Anybody ever had a phone interview? Any last minute tips?

That's what mine has done and I am trying to get rid of it. Not that I'll get a 65", but you know, something bigger than 29"

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Any last minute tips?

Don't have Death Metal playing loudly in the background. And don't eat handfuls of potato chips while speaking. Also, don't periodically stop to scream "Shut up, bitch, I'm on the phone!" to someone in the background.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sit upright in a chair, not looking at anything except a blank notebook or something. I find it's easy to be distracted.

Y'all are making my 24 incher seem inadequate.

If I only had a brain...

Re phone interview: Don't sit next to your computer, for the reasons Jesse gives. Listen carefully for cues, because you can't get them from facial expressions.

And be yourself; unless you're desperate, you might as well show 'em what's in the package.

I like to stare out a window or close my eyes. If you take notes, don't type.

I also pace a lot.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Any last minute tips?

Say as if to someone in the room, "Bring me a Pepsi." Then play a recording of a Cylon saying, "By your command."
