The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

My eyebrows are raised at the use of the word "ostensibly" on the character bio page, though.

I really hope they don't go there.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I'm watching The West Wing, and wondering if this episode was written during the hurricane. It's all about FEMA and federal emergency response.

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

I'm dubious about that word myself, Perkins. But if they made him honestly bisexual (and not an automatic slut) it'd be kinda cool.

God, the nausea is here in full force with this migraine. Sad how long it took me to remember that I have anti-nausea medication.

Yay, Supernatural!

Did Charmed always have such low-budget-looking CGI? Also, did Holly Marie Coombs not have a waist before her pregnancy? Either way on theh latter, I think it's cool that she just doesn't have the H'wood figure.

Oh! Saw many of the bug-eyed glasses on actual humans (instead of photos) today. I had been sheltered by my insularity.

Did you know that more than 30% of the population over 65 have no teeth?

1-800-DENTIST told me so.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wonder if (or how much) the percentage of people (in the US, I mean) with dentures is going down, thanks to the floridated water and better dental health in general. Both of my grandfathers had full dentures from the time I can remember them, which would make them like late 50s, and I don't think I know anyone that age with them now.

I'm getting the pig!

Yay, Supernatural!

Why yay? Wasn't tonight a repeat?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

It was the easy view -- which is good 'cause it went bye bye on my TIVO before I watched it.

It was a repeat of Wednesday, unless I've missed more than I thought.

I was going to say that Jamaica was about half a generation behind in dental health care, but I think we're catching up.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Mile High has been watched but I am not sure how happy it made me. I need to go look at the Web site. t time passes Damn. There's not a lot there that makes me happy. Grrr. And I liked Will better as a blonde. Suited the character.

huh. My Notepad is like a way back machine.

Anyway, Gina sleeps with a guy against her desires in this one, to keep her cover. And then she weeps and asks Trudy to burn the dress she'd been wearing. I'm not wanting to imply that sleeping with guys for pragmatic reasons is fun, but it seems to be so often portrayed as terribly devastating for a woman, and never seems to come up (or just be part of getting too deep into cover) for the guys. Is that dramatic license, an extension of the whole fate worse than death thing?
I think it is dramatic license taken to an extreme. The situations will obviously be different each time but I don't think it is exceptionally traumatic so long as it is consensual, even if you are consensing for reasons other than actually wanting to have sex. She could have blown her cover, she chose not to. But she made the choice.

getting raves on the makeup boards, especially from people with combo skin.
Plei, where are these mythical makeup boards?
