There, there, Matt. Maybe you can stay up late at the F2F like one of the big kids. How would that be?

I should just give up, start wearing golf clothes, and give them an allowance.

DX, how is the palm pilot working out?

They COULD have stiffed the cabbie. But they didn't.

Actually, they couldn't have. The rules say you have to pay off your cab. (Which can also be accomplished by negotiating a lower rate, but since they didn't do that, they owed him the full metered amount.)

All my coolness has fled. I stayed over at the parents' last night so Mom could borrow my car today, and found out that they like to stay up much later at night than I do.

Heh. The last time I stayed with my SoCal grandmother, I always went to bed before her. At least I had the time zone excuse...

Leif woke up at 5:20 this morning. That's too early.

On the plus side it gave me a little time this morning to paint the inside of the rear panel and rear door of the backyard spaceship after I exercised.

So a DC-9 that was flying to Minneapolis reported hydraulic problems while in the air. The plane landed without incident, but when it was taxiing to the gate the brakes failed. It ended up lodged under an Airbus. Six people were injured.

I'm mostly posting this because of the pictures - they fall under the "stuff you don't see every day" catagory....

Today I am wearing red pants and a black t-shirt, so I am wearing red panties and a black bra.

And, see, to me, that would match -- my "rule" is that if I'd wear the colors together on the outside, they're okay as a set of underthings. What wouldn't match would be, like, orange underpants and a purple bra, or two different-and-clashy multicolored floral prints. White and black bras and panties go with everything, in my world.

This makes me sound a little OCD, doesn't it?

What the heck is wrong with Kirk(on GG)'s chest?

I was wonderng the same thing. It almost looks like he has a third pec.

The thing that bugged me on GG was how quickly Lorelai's pregancy scare was resolved. As shown, that was pointless angst, and I hope she really is pregnant because otherwise I'm going to assume the show's writers all need a remedial course in How Babies Are Made.

The rules say you have to pay off your cab. (Which can also be accomplished by negotiating a lower rate, but since they didn't do that, they owed him the full metered amount.)

What would happen if they got the cabby's card and arranged to send him the full fare when they got home? Would that also be against the rules?

This may have been covered (I didn't read all the whitefont), but (VM spoiler) I think that the person at the door at the end was Wallace. Who else would she look at and be completely relieved to see? With Logan, she'd have to think about the whole "your dad tried to kill me" factor (plus she'd probably look horrified at his beaten state, given the showdown with Weevil), and with Duncan, she'd still have baggage. Wallace is her best bud who would have lost the last issue they had since she got rid of her mom and ushered his mom back into the picture. This is my theory and I'm stickin' to it.

I'd guess yes, since using your own money for anything is against the rules. Part of the challenge is having limited funds.
