literally belted below your ass

Baggy I guess I can understand...not really understand...but deal, but trousers strapped around the knees? Boggling.

Timelies,

So Alias and Lost were both deathalicious last night. I wonder if JJ needed to get some aggression out after working with Tom Cruise.

ION, I think I'm come done with something. My throat is sore in that right before a nasty cold way. Which means, since I'm going to a Con tomorrow, I'm apparently going to be a generator of Con Plague instead of a recipient this year. Joy.

Oh yeah, Lost. All I have to say is....

HOLY CRAP!

Lost pop tarts:

Actually, I was waiting for Hurley to come walking in behind Libby and either get shot and killed himself, or enter into mortal combat with Michael.

A Philippine judge who claimed he could see into the future and admitted consulting imaginary mystic dwarfs has asked for his job back after being fired by the country's Supreme Court.

That's funnier because I'm rereading Sock right now. Although -- does the judge himself actually admit that his little friends are imaginary? Probably not. That's too bad, because it'd be pretty cool if he did.

Fox News topped a poll for most trusted news source for Americans.

It isn't quite as scary when you read that the top spot was still only 11% though.

C'mon - Angel ran a law firm for a year - his advice has gotta be worth something....

I don't know. Let me tell you something, when it's dark and I'm all alone and I'm scared or freaked out or whatever, I always think, 'What would Buffy do?'.

Of course then I remember I'm not endowed with preternatural strength and freak out again, but that's neither here nor there.

Sean -- so was I!

Top Chef: Wow, the promos were really no indication at all! I was fully expecting Harold to be in big trouble and for the main ingredients to be disgusting. I also thought meanly of how much Stephen would have enjoyed the ingredients but also that he wouldn't have been able to do them justice. I was very pleased that Harold did so well and also that Dave pulled off his dish as well. I was very disappointed that Lee Anne didn't make it to the final -- is she Top Chef's Austin Scarlett? Now, Harold MUST WIN.

The Top Chef white font is taunting me. I have to wait for Dave to get home to watch it.

sumi, re Top Chef:

I was thinking the same thing about Stephen, and how he would have flipped to work with those ingredients, and how he wouldn't have done them justice. I almost wish he had been in the top four, because he would have botched it so bad, he'd be a clear loser. But he also didn't have what it took to get that far, so I hope he's livid, and from the previews for next week, it looks like he is.
