I thought "Corpse Bride" was in fact based on a Russian fairy tale?
Yes it was.
'Potential'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Thanks all for the Corpse Bride info. If it works out, I'll see it in the theater. If not, I'll rent the DVD. If Mirrormask shows up here, I'll give a little jump for glee and go see it, but I think it's unlikely that will happen.
I thought it was interesting that in the Time interview, Gaiman said that McKean doesn't like "fantasy." Interesting because his art is so fantastical.
Yes it was.
So, go connie with the source identification!
Poor askye. That really shouldn't happen. Stupid people in this world.
Much to do today. Hopefully I'll actually get it all done, as yesterday was pretty much a waste. Should probably start with a shower (which never happened yesterday). After the coffee...
Askye, call the collection agency and tell them you don't deal with collection agencies and that you'll send them a "cease and desist" letter. (Just google and find one, fill in the blanks, send it.) Then deal with MCI.
I just wrote the rough draft of an assignment that is due tomorrow. I don't feel it is very good, but am trying to adhere to the "good enough" philosophy.
This is for the class where my first assignment got an A+. I have realized that that terrified me, because there is nowhere to go but down. At least I was able to recognize that and get past it enough to be able to finish the assignment. It's still terrifying, though.
Since no one else is around, I'm going to talk to myself...
Toto is currently curled up on Emily's bed. He misses her! Good thing she comes home today.
I got inspired and made cinnamon rolls last night. But now they're all gone and I want more. Feh. I made the lazy kind - thaw out frozen bread roll dough, flatten and smear with cinnamon, sugar, and butter, let rise, and bake. Yum. But I should have made more. And also should have not eaten half of them last night.
The dog is away at grampa's for a few days, and it's so weird. I keep looking for her, and getting antsy to go for a walk.
Planet Xena may have a moon, too. [link]
Timelies! I'm up and at work. Oh flipping joy. I'm here for a few hours then off to the hospital to visit my mom. Then back home for homework.
I'm tired of my life right now.
