"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I've been aware Arquette was heading toward the genderswitch for years now. Sadly, as she's (hopefully) gotten more comfortable in her personal life, the acting has suffered a complete loss of subtlety. I thought he was a halfway decent and engaging actor back in the 90s, but everything since 2000 has been a melodramatic caricature of womanhood.

Did everyone* remember to turn their clocks forward?

I know it's a bitch to start, but those nice long evenings more than make up for it IMHO

We had it on Thursday night (so we'll have our weekend of Friday and Saturday to get used to it). I was wondering when it happens in the rest of the world.

Our wings are not tired.

Feel robbed. Needed that hour of sleep. Only half of clocks changed. Must consume coffee. Sentences might improve.

I got to feel that little glow of technological gadget neatness this morning. My Sony radio alarm clock doesn't automatically change for DST... however, it has one dedicated little 'DST' button (neatly labeled 'for summer' beneath the button proper) that you just have to push, and instant DST!

OK, sometimes I amuse really easy.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I remembered. I shake my fist at my lost hour of sleep.

Now to motivate and get outta the house within the hour.

This has got to be a joke, and it's hilarious. Life lessons from TLC like, "Merlot and email don't mix" and "Turn off the TV before getting intimate." Heh.

If it's a joke, it's one they've been advertising on tv and in bus shelters for the past couple of weeks.

Yes, that.

I wonder if msbelle got out of the house. I sure haven't.

But I'm amusing myself by looking at film clips of The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain:

Interesting fact of the AM: the Hawaiian pronunciation of ukulele is ooo-koo-lay-lay. It never occurred to me that of course it would follow the actual rules of Hawaiian language stuff.

Needed that hour of sleep.

No freaking kidding. The extra hour we get in fall is always kind of nice, but I'd totally trade it.

Why don't they move the clock on Friday night, so that you'll have the whole weekend to get used to the different schedule?

(Also, hi, Emily! It's been forever since we posted together! How are you doing?)
