Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Even though I'm looking at rowhouses, the walls are thicker.

Not necessarily thick enough. One year in NOLA, a friend and I rented one half of a double shotgun (NOLAese for "duplex," so called because in the classic style, you could fire a shotgun through the front door, and the shot would go out the back door without hitting anything -- but I digress). The other half was taken by a young couple. And let's just say that roommate and I always knew when our neighbors were getting amorous....

Around here, they tend (I say tend because it apparently depends on vintage and original purposing) double wall/firewall...

I'll just be glad to not hear the adventures of the people in the bedroom directly below me.

Now tagless for your comfort.

All of this just reminded me of a really embarrassing situation involving a baby monitor. The new monitors they make really do pick up EVERY noise in the house.

Uh oh.

You'd think I'd be pretty blase about stuff like this. I mean, my parents bedroom was separated from mine by plywood closets and yeah, I heard them. (They find this horrible amusing. I didn't mention it until recently. You'd think they'd have clued in after me complaining about the monster rattling the pictures on the walls- my dad's snores.) And then there was the time at grandma's when they were in the bedroom "taking a nap" above the livingroom. And the bedsprings squeaked. Hoping Grandma's hearing aid was not working efficiently and trying not to giggle just about killed me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, Badger from Firefly is on Medium! That took way too long for me to figure out.

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

James Nesbitt and Stephen Moyer are hot, and there are insufficient photos. I get it in James's case (he's a moving and talking hottie), but Stephen Moyer? Pinup!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

ITA Jen, on both counts. If we didn't already love the Tivo to bits, being able to rewatch that look three times would have convinced us.

It was so painful watching Jack trying to talk to Audrey. Because he really should have just left her alone, and he kept trying to connect. Someone should pass him a quiet memo that says, "Just FYI, you broke up about five hours ago."

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Yeah, Jessica. I was thinking the same thing.

Also, Clive Owen is breaking my heart on BBCA right now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm getting excited about the Serenity preview now. It's going to be like a little F2F.

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

We were just watching poor poor suffering-yet-stubborn-and-wrongheaded Clive. He's a damn good actor. The cab scene where he breaks down crying on the phone with his son KILLED.
