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.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

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.

I don't think [] can plot, period.
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?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
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.

I was surrounded by a group of middle-schoolers on a field trip, and three of them were trying to discuss Star Wars
I was in WalMart a few weeks back, and I heard a father explaining things to his barely school-aged kid. "Then Luke had his hand cut off by Darth Vader." "But Vader's Luke's daddy!" "Well, he's not a nice guy, is he?" "No . . ."
And I thought, "My god, Lucas did it, created a mythology for a new generation." I'm not sure the father was old enough to have been born for the first Star Wars.
I can't remember the title, but there was a movie in the last couple of years featuring dragons taking over the world and nearly exterminating mankind. One of the last communities was holed up in a castle. Two of the older men were acting out stories for the kids, and the story they showed was the scene where Vader cuts off Luke's hand. No explanation, none needed.
There's a lot of limb chopping in these movies, I've noticed. I think Lucas has issues with the loss of limbs.
