The shutter-button-to-shutter-action lag on my camera is too long. I have never succeeded in getting any pix of lightning.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

When I moved in May, I was just going to downgrade my Netflix account from 3 to 1, but while I was checking out the website, I stumbled across the hold option, which worked out great for me that first month, since I was broke from the move. I reinstated it at the beginning of June, and have been working my way through the miniseries/first season of Battlestar Galactica (just got Disc 2 of the season last night, so I get to watch the second half of a two-parter tonight--woot!). After that's done, I've got Doctor Who in the queue, then a bunch of movies, including Syriana.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, it's like the crossword-lovers complaining about the bridge column. You don't care until the bridge-players complain.
Well, that makes sense. You don't want to piss off those bridge players.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How frequent was the lightning? I guess if it's decently frequent, just randomly shooting might work.

Best use of The Grateful Dead in pop culture ever.
Not to mention Styx. Though I will grant that quoting "Mr. Roboto" at key moments has excellent comic effect.

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?

We can be mean when riled up.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hmm. I tried the cancel option on Netflix, and it seemed like I got to the point of no return without them offering me a hold. And I didn't want to accidentally cancel my account. But knowing it's there somewhere is good.

Does it work when you're trying to make the moves on your woman or does that only work for "Lady"?

“Liberals have never liked her, and we’ve always gotten complaints [from them]. But the complaints that mattered the most were from the conservative readers,” who felt that their views were being misrepresented.
What, they don't care about complaints from liberals, but if conservatives complain they gotta do something?
That makes a certain amount of sense to me. God knows there are some "liberal" columnists I wish would just stop pretending to be on my side.

"Lady" is not for beginners. You have to give a committed performance, which is very difficult to do. In fact, Jason Segel might be the only actor in Hollywood capable of going out on that limb.
Did you see they used Martin Starr on How I Met Your Mother? He was great. Almost unrecognizable since he wasn't Bill Haverchuck. HIMYM is like a wackass AU Buffyverse / F&G crossover.
I also spotted Danica McKellar (Winnie from Wonder Years) on HIMYM. She looked very pretty.
