Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Congrats Jessica!

Happy Birthday to Kate P. and RL!

I had a great time at OVFF. Lots of good music, lots of good friends. Also, I bought a bunch of books and a red kimono. There are probably incriminating pictures of me and the other wenches up on the web already...

Always Anti-fascist!

Ok...sort of glad I bailed on Studio 60 for Olbermann.(Special Comment. Love them. And he is not Howard Beale, damn it.) My favorite Sorkin is Sports Night, hopefully not because my viewing of WW has been haphazard.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Dory speaking "whale" in Finding Nemo

Owen tries to speak Whale. The first time he did it, I nearly pissed myself laughing.

We recorded Studio 60 but have yet to watch it. I just caught up with Doctor Who this afternoon.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I just caught up with Doctor Who this afternoon.
I was madly enthralled with some bits of this episode. I think I need a rewatch to figure out why.

Oh, me, too! I had to start a rewatch immediately. But then the kids got up from their nap. Dammit. I got as far as "I'm The Doctor and I just snogged Madame De Pompadour! Bwhaha!" It killed me dead.

Because books.

I just saw my very first bit of (any) Dr. Who the other night (aside from a vague memory of the 70s Doctor with freaky big hair) -- the one at Versailles, with Madame du Pompadour. I was fascinated -- and then I got interrupted. But I'm feeling like I may need to get on the Dr. Who train.

Like I need another show.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The actress who played Mme du Pompadour is Sophia Myles, who is David Tennant's girlfriend. She is also a very good actress--she ALMOST made her role in Tristan und Isolde beleivable, no small feat. I loved this week's episode muchly.

She played a small role in Underworld, didn't she? One of the vampires? No wonder their chemistry lit up the screen!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

On Studio 60 I was pretty darn eye-rolly. a lot. but what clinched it for me was the kid whipping out a copy of "Who's on First". a SEVENTY EIGHT of "Who's on First" that he apparently keeps in his desk. Or possibly Sorkin's butt.

What is even happening?

Probably Pertwee.

Trudy (Studio 60)

Yeah, that was bizarre. I just chalked it up to him being the type who might have bought it for himself--a collectible of sorts.
