Yay! The only complaint I have about mine is that for some stupid reason, it only unlocks on the driver's door.

Huh, it's not supposed to work like that. So not even the passenger door unlocks on a second keyfob press? If was getting driver door with one press and driver and passenger with two presses, then I might think the electric contacts on the sliding doors just need to be cleaned off.

Today, I'm going to a used bookstore to sell back two boxes of books.

TWO BOXES.

I feel kind of light-headed.

Oh how I love VM. love love love love love. still, it kinda rubbed me wrong that after discovering your maybe half-brother had sex with you that you don't remember - that you would be giggly making out with new bf who happens to be at least tangentially involved in the events that let to the not!rape.

I am now spinning three ideas about the finale, all are probably wrong, but anyway: idea 1: Momma Cane is the killer. we know she is a cold evil bitch and was jealous/hateful toward her daughter.

idea 2: Momma Mars is the killer. two thoughts on this - we know she was seeing Mr. Cane and we know she drinks, but I am not sure we have a valid timeline on either. Maybe a drunken rage? Maybe Lilly found out about Veronica's daddy question. This would devastate Veronica and a devastated lead is always good.

idea 3: Aaron Echolls is the killer. We know he is violent and possibly a little crazy and not above getting a little ass on the side. I hope that the camera stuff in the pool house is his doing. And, I would not doubt if Lilly was open to a fling with him. This of course would mess with Logan even more, as if he needs more breaking.

I need help from the hivemind...

What are some pop culture/film/tv/literary examples of marriage being a physical, spiritual, or career death to a man? I can think of the movie Black Widow. Any other thoughts?

[background: I'm taking a medieval women's lit class and one of our final questions is to trace an antifeminist stereotype through some of the stuff we read and to bring it into modern day]

Ugh. Still haven't woken up entirely, so it's time to take some caffeine, even if I wanted to minimize it this week. I have to be able to function for my job....

Star Wars episodes 2 and 3.

If the Jedi councel find out Anakin's married, he looses his Jedi Knight status.

Can't think of anything else, although I'm sure there's more.

eta: Some have thought that Lou Reed's music suffered when he got married and his outlook on life grew less pessamistic.

Cashmere, I stayed up to watch Christiane Amanpour on TDS, but then passed out. Did you catch it?

Missed the replay this morning. We were watching the Bear in the Big Blue House. But I think DH recorded it for me last night. I hope. I haven't checked yet.

ChiKat, would Madame Bovary fit the bill? I think that Dr. Bovary's wife pressures him to try some risky proceedure that ends up crippling the patient and messing up his career.

You can download it here, if that helps: [link]

ChiKat, pretty much anything by August Strindberg will fit the bill from what I understand, though I've never read any of his stuff myself. Actually, the Scandanavians are good for that kind of thing - I'm sure there are several Bergman movies that would fit the bill.

And of course, there's that laugh riot ETHAN FROMME.

Is that what you're looking for, or am I looking at your question wrong?

Every ball-and-chain joke since the beginning of time.
