Better? I don't think Marissa can plot, period.
eta: That scene in Alias, and the one with the comms on cracked me up. Great writing this week.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

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

I was hoping for Marissa to bop Trey on the head with the gun, accidentally shooting herself in the process, but it didn't happen. Oh well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Maybe she'll get dragged off to prison?? One can hope, anyway.
I think Kelly Rowan (is that her name? I feel like that's the woman from Destiny's Child) is doing a great job, too.

Well, no. Which means someone can be better! Eternally positive, that's me.
The dialogue in Alias was good. The plotting/segues/whatever drove me batshit.

I'm not at the F2F either, Raquel. But I do get my own mini-F2F next weekend when Katie & Vonnie come to visit me!, so I'm okay with that. I'm not in the mood for big gatherings at the moment, anyway, although there are a number of Buffistas I would love to see.

This morning on the subway, I was surrounded by a group of middle-schoolers on a field trip, and three of them were trying to discuss Star Wars. The conversation went:
Girl 1: So, Anakin is Luke and Leia's father, right?
Girl 2: Right, so who's Hayden Christiansen? Who's the sexy guy -- not the guy with the beard?
Guy: [inaudible answer]
Girl 1: Wait, wasn't Anakin the kid in that scene with Jabba the Hut, when he was with that ho? [pause] Did they have hos back then?

Thanks, y'all. I feel much more human today. Belated happy b'day to Vortex, too!
My sympathies to Shrift and congrats to Ouise. And my thoughts are with Shrift's Dad and Deena.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Timelies,
My sympathies to shrift and her family.
Health~ma to Deena's father.
So I've decided Pepsi with Lime is actually pretty good. Pepsi is my cola of choice, but I can't help but shake my head at them consistantly coming out with new flavors shortly after Coke comes out with the same ones.
Looks like I'll be seeing Episode 3 on Sunday, I finally found a friend who hadn't seen it yet and has some free time this weekend.

Oh yeah -- I sent it to them before I posted it here.
They then proceeded to have a conversation about the appropriateness of the phrase "back then," with one girl arguing that it took place in the future, and the other arguing that, no, it was just on a different planet.
