Happiest of birthdays, askye!

Maybe I’ll include a shatter-and-hum event to the evening.

I would so go to that.

The binary manicure is cool. You should get one. And share pictures.

I thought about doing the radiator flush, but I've go no clue what to do with the waste.

I think recycle centers can take it. One thing to watch out for - antifreeze is poisonous but cats and dogs like to drink it.

Some guy in Toronto about ten years back came up with the brilliant idea of storing it in an empty Captain Morgan's bottle in the garage - with tragic but predictable consequences for a couple of ten year olds, his own and someone elses.

I think Dancing With Stars and Beauty And The Geek need to have a cagematch smackdown.

Geek boys dancing the Rhumba! I would so be there.

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

I watched the first couple Beauty and the Geeks, but am not feeling motivated to watch the third. My love really waned on the second one. The elimination is so unnecessary and heavy handed-- why have it? It's a social experiment, not Survivor. I don't think it's a perfectly thought-out reality concept.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Has anyone seen the Windows commercial with the guy who does a comic book about a crime-fighting actuary? DH is DYING to get it on video, but we have no linkage between his laptop and our DVR.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Happy Birthday, askye!

Chi'istas, the offer still stands for free tix to previews of Uncle Vanya thru Saturday. It really is a good show with very intimate in-the-round seating and a fantastic cast.

I have not, but now I want to.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me. You have multibple tickets, right? I'll see if I can round up some friends to go with me.

Chekhov rocks!

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I have only seen the second episode of Beauty and the Geek. At least, I think it was the second one. It was the one where the girls learned how to do some basic car maintenance and the guys learned how to give massages. I was not overwhelmed.

However, I would vote for importing the Dancing with the Stars format into any TV realm. Seeing a judge compare J. Peterman to a sleek panther stalking his prey after a scorching Tango? That's just a little slice of TV nirvana right there.

Sing it, my sister! mr flea and I tangoed (badly) down the hall to bed after the end of the show. He didn't waggle his eyebrows like J. Peterman, though.

Also, doesn't John O'Hurley do the Westminster dog show on Thanksgiving now, too? He's parlayed his moment into good stuff.
