It looks to me like [TAR] the families who most annoy aren't likely to hold up terribly long. But I've been burned before. Also, I'm watching behind, so I could already be wrong.
Willow: Yes. Hi. You must be Angel's handsome, yet androgynous, son. Connor: It's Connor. Willow: And the sneer's genetic. Who knew?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Do they know how many National Geographic specials I sat through waiting to see them live, only to be left disappointed?
Yeah, I hate those sciency specials where they try to find something and/or photograph it, and they fail at the end.
That should be a new reality show: Hey science boy - you don't get paid until you come back with giant squid pictures. And you gotta live with these other scientists in this sealab. You have your choice of rooming with the gay scientist or the redneck.

I need to add another activity to watching TAR: keeping the 17 lb cat from trying to jump on my lap while I sit on a balance ball. Currently have him pinned sitting like a person at the computer, purring and headbutting me.
Mind you, he popped the last balance ball. While I was sitting on it.

And now he kicked back so hard against the table unexpectedly, I rolled back and conked my head on the wall.
Dude, I have one cat who draws blood. Apparently, I have a concussive one as well. I'm DOOOOOOOOOMED.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Oh, thank god. Our long national nightmare is over. Bob called the cable company for me and got them to turn it on.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Live giant squid photographed for the first time: [link]
This is so excellent. I'm speechless. And I love that first picture, it's so fitting.
I saw a program on TV about Humboldt Squid the other night. They are nasty critters, with teeth on their suckers, and a habit of leaping out at anything that moves, especially divers. (They are probably 3 feet long, not 25.)
They can reach 6 feet long, including tentacles. And yes, can be quite aggressive. Humboldt also has a penguin named after him. They live on the west coast of South America, and are no doubt cuter to most people than the squid. (For me, though, I prefer the squid here. There are cuter penguins around, but the Humboldt is an A-grade squid.)

I was beginning to question the foundations of our relationship. Thank god television makes all those uncomfortable questions go away!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
So tonight's Supernatural was the one with Amy Acker, if any left coasters are interested.
