Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

That's a relief, as my parents drive one.

I took today as a leave day to cope with a splitting yet non-migraine-y headache, but managed to be productive nonetheless. I cleared a stopped drain, took trash out, paid bills, got an affadavit notarized, switched my cable setup, and finally found out what the third song was in my earworm trifecta that I can never recall when near a computer: "Train in Vain" by the Clash. (Exile's "Kiss You all Over" and Tesla's "Love Song" being the other two.)

You are amazing, Matt, to do all that with a headache. I have a hard time being that productive without one.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

You know, it's just wrong to have to defrost your windshield in May...

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

I just read that Jason Dohring auditioned for Duncan's role on VM, and bland guy auditioned for Logan. And that Logan was supposed to be a pilot one-off. Naturally, this brings JM's insertion into the Buffy cast to mind (oh, we do love the naughty boys), and Jack on Lost (not originally designed as a regular either, IIRC). Anyone else of interest pulled this off? Especially as quickly as Matthew Fox?

And there was nothing new. Take out the high gas prices references and he could have given the same opening statement 6 months ago. I get why he did it, but ya gotta have something or nobody will care.

I watched part of that press conference, and I'll tell you exactly what it was about, or at least what it felt like it was about to me -- scolding us (and in turn, those of our elected representatives who are not toe-ing the line) for not doing what he wants us to do.

That, and making some not-so-subtle digs at anybody who thinks differently from him.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Jack on Lost wasn't supposed to be a regular? Wow.

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

Andy Sipowicz was supposed to die on NYPD Blue.

Gunther on Friends was an extra and got the barista gig because he knew how to work an espresso machine.

Wasn't Nurse Hathaway supposed to die or be rendered vegetative from her nasty overdose in the ER pilot?

That's pretty funny! How far in?

Yep.
