I hope they catch the guy!

So do I. We'd like to regain a semblance of our sense of security.

Damn, Maria. I hope they do get the guy. Or at least there's insurance.

Well, if it helps, I had a fleeting moment of "overweight celebs?", and then you mentioned Jamie Bamber, and my brain went directly to porn without passing Go or collecting my $200.

I THOUGHT that would help direct people in the right direction.

OMG total yummy grapefruit. IS YUM!

I was reading through fish recipes for the lastest catch from the boys and saw an interesting recipe involved baking the fish with grapefruit and curry. I bookmarked that one because grapefruit = yum.

grapefruit = yum

It's funny you say that, Laura, since for me grapefruit=run screaming from the room in loathing

Well, we have to have some opposite opinions to prove we are not in fact the same person.

Sometimes I want to kill people for being "helpful"...

In the show I just did, one character wears a watch. He doesn't look at the watch, he just wears it as part of the costume.

It broke on the second night.

The backstage costume person couldn't fix it. My student Assistant couldn't fix it. I went in the next day, and I couldn't fix it. I took it to FOUR watch repair places, they couldn't fix it. I look for a new watch, but all the ones that look right are around $40, which I feel isn't worth it for this tiny peice of characterness.

Stagemanager emails everyone all the things that broke. I email everyone back saying that I don't fell like the watch is worth repairing. Director emails me and asks me to explain how it is broken. I explain, and then he agrees with me that it isn't worth it to replace.

Then the prop person, who is irritating the shit out of me because a) the director (a gay man) keeps going on and on about how beautiful she is b) she is very earnest and helpful, instead of jaded and cranky like me and c) she can't #@$#ing seem to differentiate between costumes and props-- emails and says SHE can look for watches in a second hand store. So the director emails me and asks what I think. I say it isn't worth her time, but I can describe the watch to her, I guess.

I am sick of this damn watch, people. It isn't that important!

Threshold:

I like Dutton okay on the show. It isn't a perfect show by a long shot, but I don't think Dutton is worse than any of the others - with the except of Dinklage who is the best.

Me, too, Robin. Hate the stuff. It's just way too sour for me.

Even the pink stuff? Even if you sprinkle sugar on it?

I can't eat grapefruit, as one or more of the drugs I take has warnings that if I do, my head will explode.

I have to pour sugar all over it, a sprinkle isn't anywhere near enough. And, at that point, I figure that I might as well have a doughnut.
