I miss the days when MTV was deeply weird.

Ooh! Remember that filler bit of live-but-stop-motion film that had the professorly-looking guy surrounded by 5 electrified lizards? MTV gave me what I was missing out on by not doing drugs with my friends.

The truth is, gosh, I wish I wasn't just a terrible procrastinating hack who closes in on deadlines in 12 hour stretches and just grasps in desperation to make something track and fill the required page count and really had the focus to carefully plan out resonating narrative echoes.

You'll never convince me that all the echoes in "ReSurprise""Reprise" were unintentional.

I feel like I should have a tiara and sash and a loaded gun.

Bwah! But who's the "Johnny" that you're going to do it for?

I still can't believe local women went to a gynecologist working out of a self-storage facility and were surprised when it turned out he didn't have a license to practice medicine.

Did they not watch that C.S.I. with Lindsay Crouse? It was like the highest-rated television show since the M*A*S*H finale!

Simon, you irritated Herc? I couldn't possibly love you more than I do right now.

Hear, hear.

Anyone who examines the plots of the 13 episodes of "Wonderfalls" will know this to be true. They're all basically the same plot.

I figure, as long as it's one really good plot it doesn't matter.

You'll never convince me that all the echoes in "ReSurprise""Reprise" were unintentional.

Yeeeeeeeah. You don't get things that identical visually without planning. Of course, for some reason I'd be less surprised by Tim working carefully on a big "He's evil! Just kidding!" psych out than on a "Look how Connor's experience resonates with Angel's" moment.

I hearts Reprise and Epiphany, by the way. I actually said last night as I was watching, "Tim Minear writes all the best episodes."

Kristen--go to the nearest hardware store and buy 3 or 4 tack cloths. They are a cheesecloth kinda thing which has some slightly sticky stuff on them, just enough to suck uo teeny dust particles. (people who refinish furniture use them to get up all dust particles from fine sanding, as the slightest bit will ruin the finish). Wad it up in your hand and wipe things down. It's freakinbg magic. I think they're about $1.00 apiece.

That is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.

Today I love Strega for quoting Keats.

It's like she gives you a new reason every day, isn't it?

How much do I like the fact that actual solution has been offered, in thread, for a problem which was brought up for a completely different reason?

The hivemind rocks.

Do you have a humidifier? Making it heavy enough to stay still for the swiffer is the trick.

Interesting. Sadly, I don't have one.

If one does not have a humidifier, raising humidity in the house can be done with pots of boiling water on the stove, and fans blowing it out of the kitchen.

ETA: Someties Physics works with me, and I have placed a fan on the floor in the next room and pointed it towards the kitchen, blowing cold air into the room, which pushes the hotter, moisture laden air out into the rest of the house.

I think the tack cloth idea is great, Robin. I know it's what the floor sanders used, when they refinished the floors at our old house. Now I wish I'd thought of it when we demo'd our old kitchen at that house. The house was full of plaster dust. Nasty, icky stuff. I'd do the tack cloth before I tried the humidity. Tack cloth. Vacuum. Wash. In that order.

One day it was quoting Watership Down.

Nilly, I think "a jigsaw puzzle" is the best answer ever.
