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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Has anyone seen the Windows commercial with the guy who does a comic book about a crime-fighting actuary?

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.

Hippo birdies, askye!

Mighty quiet 'round these parts today. Is it a holiday I don't know about or something?

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

The weird part is, J. Peterman was a terrible overactor on soaps when I was in high school. (Guiding Light, I want to say, but I disremember.)

Then he started minting irony, and became a genius.

I watched a few minutes of the dancing show, but there were a lot of other things on at the same time.

They didn't give us a limit, but I think "within reason" was implied.

Chekhov rocks!

Especially when adapted by Brian Friel!
