Natter 37: Oddly Enough, We've Had This Conversation Before.  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Random viewing tip: Debet and I discovered tonight that Unsolved History can be comedy gold. You must all tivo "1906: The Great Quake Coverup". Drink any time you see the shadow of the helicoptor, a shot they are reusing, or hear them use a fuzzy statistic. We would include every time there was a cheesy effect, but then you'd be passed out before halfway through the show.

The voiceover person sounds like a female William Shatner. The show SO desperately wants to be CSI and so is not.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Sigh... Pools are lovely things.

Last weekend at the uncle and uncle-in-law's place, we swam before we made dinner. It felt decadent, like the best vacation ever.

Can we go noodling next weekend, Kat?

Sure. Bring a swimsuit.

Caltech is one of the best pools for noodle opprotunities.

My bathing suit of the week (switches on friday) before you come is a pink polka dot halter style top and black bottoms with a self belt (why bikini bottoms need a self belt? I dunno).

Then, after that, it should be the pink halter with black trim and the pink skirty bottoms.

What channel, Kristin? A search gives me nothing.

The Discovery Channel...but damn, looks like it's not repeating any time soon. Fwiw, this is the site with the show info, but it so doesn't capture the reason Buffistas would snark: [link]

Bother.

It looks like my kind of show. But from your description I suspect it is more my kind of show to mock.

I'm so proud of my team! And while I thought that this year would be a good year to not be able to actually watch the games, it's now clear I was wrong like a wrong thing.

Timelies, folks. Sorry I missed the GTA discussion, but I left the computer to go do real-life adult recreational stuff.

What is even happening?

The Raq, look at the thread title. You don't truly miss any conversation here.

Heh. True enough. But normally people don't want to have the same conversation two days in a row. I'll let it skip a day.

Or not. One thing I've noticed about the whole kerfluffle (here and in the big wider world) is the assumption that games are for kids. This may be worth discussing.

In baby news, Mallory had his first honest-to-goodness belly laugh yesterday, not just the heh-heh-heh laughter. It was cool.
