Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Swouncing

I am just cranky and impatient!

Sophia, the way I see it, other people having bigger and more urgent problems doesn't make yours any less important to you.

Because books.

I feel great sympathy with Van Gogh cutting off his ear, because right now I would lik enothing more than to stick a knife in mine.

Sophia, ear infections are awful. I went through a bad year with them recently, and they're just nasty. {{{Sophia's ear}}}

move out and draw fire

So this feeling like a very first world problem right about now.

Um, nope. Our favorite cousin died a couple years ago from an ear infection. He hadn't taken any antibiotics, as he didn't think it was serious, went to bed, and didn't get up. His fiancee found him.

Moral: ear infections are not trivial little problems.

What is even happening?

That's so sad, Raq. I'm so sorry.

Moral: ear infections are not trivial little problems.
Right. No infection is, but in my mind (whether or not this has any basis in fact, I have no idea) ear infections are more of a threat, because they occur so close to the brain.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I read a bit on the weekend (TV Guide, maybe) about ER having a contingency plan if Goran Visnjic gets the role of Bond.

Accent aside ... how pretty!

The cupcake talk got me thinking. I have Dutched cocoa. I have cake flour. If someone could send me the CI recipe, I'll try the cupcakes.

I'm browsing online for cosmetics. It's been a long while since I bought something pretty. I like this.

ummm, no. I mean, he'd look good in the role, but no. He'd be like the new Timothy Dalton.

How so? Not that I think he's right, but I don't think he's Daltonesque.

Now tagless for your comfort.

A quote from a CNN.com article about the Bush, Sr's and the Clintons' visit to the Reliant Center yesterday:

Clinton toured the shelter with his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York, and Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois.

Obama, picked up a little girl who brought him a small heart she had made in a makeshift daycare center at the shelter.

"What's your name, sweetie? You look so pretty," Obama said to the girl. "You made this heart and you decided to give it to Bill Clinton, didn't you?"

The little girl, named Kearra, shook her head affirmatively.

"Well, I give you my heart," Clinton said, giving the tiny toddler a hug.
"You're beautiful. Thank you for the heart."

To me, James Bond has a certain elegance that I don't think that GV can pull off. Granted, I've only seen him in ER, so I could be wrong. Dalton didn't have the elegance, he was more of a "brute". hmm, that's not quite the right word, but I cna't think of it now.
