Nerdily, everyone recognised "assimilated by the borg" but thought the playa/game was a fresh new saying.
That is unbelievably nerdy.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

In other news, I told a stranger I liked her shoes while getting off the train. So unlike me!
I also got to overhear a fairly exotic-looking Goth woman (I mean, her hair is bright green at the top and then she has waist-long dreads) who I see on a pretty regular basis have a perfectly normal and ridiculous conversation on the phone. It was stupidly incongrous (the stupid part was me. What did I think, she only spoke in binary?).

Oh, I will keep posting until someone else shows up...
OK, Omar Epps's name on House is Eric Foreman? Isn't that Topher Grace on That 70s Show??

It was all in Super-Secret goth code. Does that make you feel any better?

Because books.
Top Chef just completely astounded me. Hate to say it, but I was really rooting for LeAnne over Tiffani. And I am absurdly proud of Dave, maybe because he seems to view food in a more accessible way (as in, for someone like me, with a Cap'n Crunch/Wonderbread/canned green bean raised palate). Next week looks...interesting.

Yeah! That's weird.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Top Chef:
I so wanted Lee Anne to stay!!! I like her much better than Tiffani who I feel like would stab people in the back if no one would catch her. So proud of Dave, but Lee Anne's a better chef. Also, he needed to SHUT UP instead of rambling to the chefs about his dishes.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
You know, I noticed that back in S1 and then completely forgot about it until now. Probably because nobody uses first names on that show.

ARGH!!!! SO tempting to read the Top Chef white font, but I still have most of TAR and all of Lost to get through before I even dare look.
And why on Earth am I spoilerphobic about Top Chef? Dunno, but I am.

Because books.
The funniest thing about Top Chef tonight, for me, was that the challenge would have sent Stephen into raptures of bliss. And, no doubt, endless pontificating about the wine, and the grapes it was made from, and where the truffles are found, blah blah blah... Heh. You LOSE, Stephen!
I would be spoilerphobic, too, Sean. I don't like to know anything in advance.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Today was much less irritating than yesterday was, in bunches of ways, and I flailed around enough to stumble into figured out something that stumped both the corporate librarian and our primary corporate filings vendor, and I have both F2F swag and Gothic charm school swag.
Yay.
