On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

ita -- did you watch Waking the Dead? It's been so long that I'd forgotten the big trauma. (Luckily there was that flashback. . .)

Hot cup of more sleep! Actually, if there is something I'm really looking forward to, I'm less crotchety. Work? yeah, right. I'm usually pretty human and friendly (if a bit stupid first thing) around people not my family for set periods of time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've gotten about 1/2 an hour in. I hadn't forgotten the trauma, and was therefore extra traumatised by the flashbacks.

Also distracted by the the new coroner lady -- she was Tom's annoying girlfriend on Spooks, right? I like the old coroner, a lot. They haven't explained yet where she's gone. Pfft.

Oh yeah! THAT'S where I'd seen her before.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

she was Tom's annoying girlfriend on Spooks, right?

Which one? (I say, having found each one more annoying than the last.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Is Gillmore Girls new tonight? I'm having Charlie Brown/Gillmore issues.

And Plei says it before I can.

The one with the kid takes all time annoying for me. I really hoped she'd explode.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Fruit stand! Huge pane of glass being carried by two guys!

We need Fruit Stand - the Movie! Just one long chase scene, with fruit stand after fruit stand being demolished. Plus, of course, many panes of glass being carried by guys. And sometimes the chase would be in an alley, with lots of boxes and piles of trash getting hit.

Every 15 minutes or so, a car would go flying through the air.

Maybe I should get into Machinima, so I could make this movie myself.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

My standards are just impossibly high ever since Ong Bak. In addition to fruit stand demolition, I insist on assault with curry paste.
