Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Is this the everything Olympic tv schedule we were looking for?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Also, Dorothy Hamill = my favorite haircut of the 70s. Not that I had a lot to choose from.

Dorothy Hamill has one of my favorite celeb stories. She was talking to someone one day and the woman said she liked her hair, that it was "almost a Dorothy Hamill" haircut. Dorothy said it was a Dorothy Hamill haircut. The woman basically said, "No, not quite, but pretty close." (Paraphrased from 20 years back, sorry).

Andi and I are getting a 5 mbps down/ 768k up DSL deal from Qwest right now. $35/month, first 12 months, no contractual obligation to stay with them, free dsl modem for a year, no activation charges, and free installation if we needed.

It would be $30/mo if we had one of their package phone "deals"

They have a slower DSL connection at $25/$20 with package.

Prices rounded to nearest dollar.

I do not know if it's available in your area, but it's nice to know I won't pay a penalty if I decide to jump at a better deal.

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

It's come up before--it's something that Netflix cops to in their terms of service. Annoying, but it's what he agreed to.
So annoying. Totally legit if it is in the ToS though. It's why I really should read those things more carefully. I think Blockbuster is going to hike my rates so I will be shopping around for a new dvd deal.

I also need to see if I can pay to keep my Cox.net email when I move. Or, alternately, see if Cox is in Portland. Offffffff to Google some answers.

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

Thrive to spite them

I'm excited about the Olympic hockey although there's no way I can watch it or tape it all. Every game is televised. Men's and women's. Live. Team USA games and gold medal games will be commercial free.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

The only time I ever cried over a sporting event was the 1980 Miracle game. I was almost 14 years old, and chanting "USA! USA!" was new, not cheesy.

Is there meaning in those words?
