Hey, my FOX affiliate has transmission/satellite problems regularly. Those blocky skips and freezes? ALL THE TIME. Always at key dialogue points, I swear. Annoying.
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

I thought the problem was because of our geography...and being remote enough that nobody cared. But we mostly have problems with Fox, so I guess it just that they're cheap. They probably think people won't stop watching over it. Perhaps this is true for a few shows, but I have been known to change the channel during a storm.

And now FX is gutting me with Nip/Tuck. At least they won't have an emergency drill to block anything out, when I probably need to.

My WB and UPN stations used to be bad. I'd spend Buffy standing by the rabbit ears, tweaking. God help me if it was windy! They are better now, but the weather still wreaks havoc.
WHINE: My boobs hurt, the sugar cat pissed in front of the litterbox-never a good sign-, this weeks sucks, my job sucks and I think I'm depressed. No comments please. I'm cranky.

I'm watching L&O:SVU, and Robert Patrick is playing a sex offender, and I can hardly stand it. I do not like this Sam I Am.

Can it be lactose and sugar and fat free?
Ok, you can have the full of that kind. Unfortunately, ice cream has become an illmaker. To the shock of many, I don't even crave it anymore. In fact, I can get psychosomatic heartburn from the prospect! Pathetic, no?
The other weekend, I spent a day with my friend and her family. Her husband, a big sugar and fat slut, was amazed that it required me no willpower to turn down a sundae. Until I explained, of course. Then he was torn between envy (he's trying to lose weight) and horror (I mean, ICE CREAM.)
Now give me some shelled pinons... (pine nuts)

Oh, and my a/c is being spotty. WHINE.

Not to taunt you, sarameg, but my favorite ice cream in Spain was made with pinones. Yum. I keep them around to put on my salads and toss with various pastas. I'm so sorry ice cream is illmaking for you! Still, there are various soy products out there. I keep small ice cream sandwiches in the freezer for cravings that are made with soy.

To do a monster serial...
Back when they made a movie of one of Anne Rice's Lestats, whatever movie that was (it sucked) they really could have used a Marty as Lestat. That's why he creeps me out. Reminds me of what I thought that character would be onstage. (I've read some of her books, the first being Queen of the Damned, but the rest I've muddled up. That one I liked ok.)
