Oh, thank god. Our long national nightmare is over. Bob called the cable company for me and got them to turn it on.

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.
bon, you've been SAVED!!!

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!

Wait till you see what it does for child rearing disputes!
So tonight's Supernatural was the one with Amy Acker, if any left coasters are interested.
CABLE SAVES!
(I'm doooomed again.)

Cool.
I'm flipping between TAR and Nip/Tuck, which is apparently going for the gross-out record this season. Sheesh, I may give it up altogether.

It kinda bugs me that they hooked the squid and then let it sever one of its own tentacles as it made its bid for freedom.
