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.
ION, Venture Bros. Season 1 on DVD / Season 2 starts in June (I think I saw).
Yeah!
Analysis: Why does doing something nice for myself have to suck?
It doesn't. Furniture deliveries are just a pain in the ass 8 times out of 10. Something goes awry. They're early. You're late. The couch won't fit through the hallway.
we have to eat it before the actual (meat containing) meal, due to the kosher rules.
This sounds like a kid's dream. "You have to eat your dessert before you can have dinner!"
Why does doing something nice for myself have to suck?
It doesn't suck. Delivery sucks. It's kind of a rule. Sorry bout that.
Congestion when the weather is hot also sucks. Especially since I suspect it is mild allergies + heat that is causing it. I'm told I'll have functional a/c today. I'll believe it when I feel it.

Oh yes, I got word this week that Amazon has shipped my order of Venture Brothers and Robot Chicken. Isn't that nice of them?

So that you'd feel entitled for doing some more nice things for yourself?
Sorry it has to be so annoying. Will they arrive later, when you're out of work, on the time you agreed upon?
the Passover/Easter overlap guarantees it.
Yay!
sara, good luck with the a/c.
Hey, Nilly! Yes, the last day of school was yesterday! Very exciting.
The Bible as Lit course -- we studied the Bible os a work of literature, not as a sacred text, per se. We looked at it specifically as a collection of tales, and laws and examined it from a literary, sociological and historical POV. The prof was a very nice Jewish lady, but she made it very clear that we were NOT debating religion in this course -- we were looking at the Bible as a book, not THE Book. It was really interesting, and an excellent class.

What sarameg said, Tom. Driving people crazy by showing up at the wrong time or place or not showing up at all is part of the deliveryperson's code.
I am in full gronk mode today despite my attempts to get more sleep lately.

It looks really interesting. Did you focus on any period or character or anything like that? I mean, it has a span of thousands of years inside.
Timelies everyone!
So I'm getting together with friends this weekend, and someone had suggested that we all come up with Buffy-themed drinks and bring the recipe and ingredients along.
I figured I'd cheat and ask the hivemind.
So, any suggestions?
P.S. In advance, you all are awesome. Dare I say.... legendary.

The Gift. Um. Some sorta' dark-red booze/mixer. With Gumi-worms floating in it....

Heh - you should make sure to check out the commentary tracks on Robot Chicken. There's one for every ep, lot's of the guest voices turn up multiple times (SMG & Mila Kunis for example), and I swear (a very chatty) Seth is on every single one of them, often claiming to be drinking. There's also a bunch of clips in the extras of Seth acting out stuff to show the animators what he wants.
