Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I will say, although the voice/lisp really stood out for me at first (I knew the real Capote was distinctive-sounding, but didn't know exactly how), it soon became "invisible" to me. I literally stopped noticing it, about halfway through his first visit to Kansas.

The real Capote sounded exactly like that. It sounds like an overdone impression in the film, but if anything, it's toned down.

I thought Penguins was a really well-done nature doc of the sort that I don't see on PBS/Discovery/National Geographic as much since "when giant carnivores order takeout" took over the TV genre.

Meh. I mean, it was cute, but it was basically a sappy rehash of every other penguin nature doc ever made. (Life in the Freezer, Antarctica, Blue Planet: Frozen Seas, whichever episode of Life of Birds has penguins in it, etc etc etc) But I wasn't too invested in the doc race this year, since Grizzly Man wasn't nominated.

Crash, ptui. What a pathetic shitty excuse for a movie that was.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Argh. I just had to upgrade my passport application to make sure it's here in time for my trip. I sent it in six weeks ahead! I thought that would be enough! Oh no, right now it's 6-8 weeks. Stupid extra $75, which I realize is a procrastination tax, but STILL.

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

Two breasts belonging to the same woman, should not appear to be complete strangers

Mine visit sometimes, but they definitely live apart.

Back to a different topic--long-stemmed roses are more desirable more because of an honest-to-goodness aesthetic improvement over the standard, or because they're clearly rarer than the normal type?

Rarer = more expensive = better.

Bleh.

when you are flat chested, the left boob rarely knows what the right boob is doing.

I do think they're pretty, but the premium on them seemed steep.

A dozen roses were going for $8.99 at the supermarket yesterday so I went nuts and bought two bunches. V. lovely.

Weird. Wireless headphones here reach so far it's like people are on cell-phones. A coworker just went downstairs to the cafeteria to buy breakfast, and she's still on her call.

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,

I was disappointed in Jon Stewart's hosting last night, though I agree he did better after he relaxed a bit.

While I wasn't exactly enamored with any of the songs, apparently I'm a fuddy-duddy like Spidra in that I wasn't impressed with the win, or the fact they made obsolutely no attempt to dress up for the freakin' Oscars!

I was also shaking my head at Orville Redenbacher and his tux-top with jeans combo.

Don't have much to say about the fashion, though I do think Salma's dress made her look asymetrical and J-Lo looked like her makeup was applied via a spray painter.

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

Google this google that, you hear google everywhere. Yes, it is a very useful search engine, but don't you get tired of typing w.w.w...g.o.o.g.l.e...c.o.m every time? the domain name gets boring :) So, what to do? Google owns a lot of funny names that point to their site! >[link]

My favorite is www.Titanium-spork.com. I also like www.Ho.org, although that doesn't work for me.

Honestly, I'm not trying to, but when no one responds to my questions for weeks and weeks, I'm going to ask again.

Ooh, I love that as a threat--don't make me come over there and cause a Monday!
