Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

How's the thunderstorm going, sarameg (and other folks in that area)?

I drove into the bowels of hell. Seriously dark and bad visibility. holy typos batman! But it is just a drizzle now. Heard there were some tornados.

I liked Ugly Betty. There were spots with rough transitions (to me) and the concept makes me run to the hall, but all told, I'll watch again next week. Where do I know the boss guy from? Also, how much did I laugh that Salma Hayek cast herself in a bad telenovela? So much!

I liked it too, but Gina Gershorn as Fabia was horrendous. And I hope to G*d that using "Suddenly I See" (which was also used in The Devil Wears Prada) was done with tongue in cheek.

Where do I know the boss guy from?

Sara, The casting director must have been from the OC because the son of Kiki's dad was the jerky Dean of Discipline that kicked out Ryan in Season 2. (Was that season 2?) He was a blond in the OC.

I also need to say, awww, baby Matilda! That may be bruised and squinchy to you, but that's a really not-under-two-hours-old looking kiddo! Most I've seen look much redder, squinchier and so very much angrier (I've seen a handful of under-a-day babies. I found all of them adorable, but man, they really do have a tendency to look very put upon.)

Sue, yes, exactly! Thank you. No wonder the minute I saw him, without knowing he was the boss, I thought asshole!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I want to watch Ugly Betty but Survivor and Office get my loyalty. Maybe when Survivor ends.

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

Sue, that guy is HOT. Was on the same premises as the shooting of Ugly Betty and he was wandering around. Scales well into real life.

What is even happening?

Yes, this. And well, they have been put upon.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yes, this. And well, they have been put upon.

Her noggin was totally squished. Because (I think) she was transverse she not only had the usual just-born flat nose, but a bruise over one eye. I think from when they tried to turn her. Plus the vacuum extraction attempts and the odd moulding really did a number on her scalp.

Her head is rapidly returning to a rounder, less elongated shape though. More in keeping with her cheeks. Her nose seems to be reflating too.

I try not to think of people who also make me think asshole as hot. Because. But, um, yeah.
