You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I don't watch a lot of American-Spanish TV; and I've never watched sports coverage. It was pretty funny, then, to discover that "Y saque el out" and "está safe en home" are both legitimate phrases in beisbol.

They interviewed Vinny Castilla in his native tongue, and he was going on rapidly in Spanish, paused, said "en los gaps," and switched back. Like he'd forgotten how to say "gaps" in Spanish, or the Spanish word wasn't specialized enough for the outfield meaning he intended.

The best part? The Nationals (no translation) played the Milwaukee Cerveceros (Brewers), and the Red Sox lost horribly to the Atléticos. I know that foreign media translate Red Sox to Medias rojas, so I don't know why American Spanish media don't. But it's kind of cute.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, do we think Fox will only show The Inside when there's no American Idol, or what?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Fox upfronts.

There is no The Inside on that list.

heh. That's what I get for being cat delayed.

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

It's not been clear that Fox plans for The Inside after the 13 week run.

Stupid Fox.

I'm all groggy from four hours sleep after Star Wars.

Folks, Lucas was serious when he put PG-13 on this one. If at all possible, go to it before you take smallish/sensitive kids to this, because there are places where a hand over eyes is not a bad thing. And when the Jedi go down--which is not a spoiler, since we knew the event happened back in the first movie--they go down hard and messy.

It's not a subtle movie, but it's a way cool movie.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

No Arrested Development on the spring schedule, either.

I can't even.

Hey, connie is me! I keep talking to people at work as if it is Friday. At some point, between Sith and the four hours sleep, I lost Thursday. Curse you, dark side!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So I might actually have the most first-world question ever.

My grad school GPA ended up being 3.975, thanks to one A-minus. How do I list that on my resume? 3.98? 3.9? 4.0? I'm not trying to claim a 4.0 that I didn't get...

You can probably just put 3.975 or 3.98, right?
