Book ,'Objects In Space'
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.
I retain hope that I'll like season 2 more when it comes around. It reminds me of my reaction to Buffy season 1. Everything just feels... off. I sit there feeling like a jerk as everyone around me enthuses about how great it is. It could be that I just need to get over whatever weird subconscious expectations I have.
For cephalopod fans, here is a thought- (and maybe wince-) provoking comic about squid.
I think it's the simpler one, Typo Boy. Plus, I find all the House characters emotionally inaccessible or uninterestingly perplexing. And a little of the former, I guess. I mean, I never got how being brilliant was supposed to be an excuse for being a jackass (thanks for calling my mother brilliant--I do think she is). It's not the sort of flaw I find compelling. I see how it works for palpable charisma or BBoC, but that's what they're about, right?
I was just looking around YouTube. I found Aldo Freaking Nova.

I'd like to state for the record that a bowl of mashed potatoes, topped with corn, topped with fried chicken bits, topped with gravy, topped with cheese sounds really fucking gross.
The thing is, it sounds ok except for the gravy. One of my comfort foods is a mashed potatoes, sour cream, butter, cream, peas and bacon mix.
Oh! I saw that on TV last night, sara. Who's selling that, again? Cheese and gravy seems...ill advised.
Cheese and gravy seems...
like poutine.
I think it must be KFC. And you KNOW I'll eventually end up there and tell them to leave off the gravy. It's...sick!
Yeah.
ita, you are a Canadian-corrupted freak. I don't trust you on matters of gravy, potatoes and cheese.
Boomtown Rats [link]Oo. I have a whole DVD of Boomtown Rats videos already (what?!), but if Banana Republic is up there, and anyone can explain it to me, I'd appreciate it. Because even by 80s standards, wtf?
