I don't count me in a mirror. Mirrors never surprise me (well, except for my hair--that still gets a giggle now and then)--they show me the way I was expecting to look.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Jessica Rabbit isn't welcome in China -- and Michael Jordan shouldn't show up with any of his Looney Toons pals.
In one of the more bizarre orders from China's State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, TV shows and films featuring human thesps with animated companions will be banned.
"These human live-action, so-called animation pieces will not receive distribution or distribution licenses," read the order, issued Feb. 15. However, films and shows that have already received permits will continue to air.
CGI and 2-D characters alongside human actors jeopardize "the broadcast order of homemade animation and mislead their development," according to a report from the state-run Xinhua News Agency.
"mislead their development" - wtf does that mean?
eta:
Chinese regulatory authorities are notoriously skittish regarding broadcast and film themes that include the supernatural or fantasy, including talking animals. "Babe" was banned on the basis that animals can't talk and some viewers would be confused.
Heh.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Thanks, ita!
IcompletelyON, I just went from "I think I am getting a headache. Ow" to "Huh, I think I may need to barf" much faster than should be allowed.

On LJ I just read this comment about the last GA: 'Those of you who don't understand the last scene in "Yesterday" are entirely too emotionally healthy.' and it made me laugh. It was in response to a repost of the writer's blog entry about the ep.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Timelies, and gronk. Had trouble sleeping yet again last night.
So I have a meeting tomorrow with the two other techs, our boss, her boss and the CIO to discuss the department reorganization. I have this vague feeling of dread.
The posters are making me want to see X3, just for the pretty. I saw X1 and swore I'd never see another. It was mainly Halle Berry's fault. Will I need to have seen X2 to make sense (*snicker*) of X3?
X2 has generally been regarded as much better than X1, and even folks I know who didn't like X1 enjoyed X2. No one I've talked to has any hopes for X3 being good, though.

I have a vague feeling of dread about my performance review discussion. But my responses to the review are already on file, so this is probably quite semantic. It's weird to be doubted on things that I'd considered not even up for discussion.

I'm scheduled for an hour-long conference call in 5 minutes. I'm completely paralyzed by not giving a shit.

You might get some fun out of it. Try writing down all the annoying things they'll want you to do in May; then point at them and laugh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Start listing reasons why we should crash the Supernatural panel, slightly tipsy, and yell out "But they're BROTHERS!" periodically.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Do you really need a reason?
