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.

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

And the lady when I called made it seem like it wouldn't be quite that immediate them repossessing my car or anything.
Heh. I got one of those the other day but it *was* about my car. For something under $37... They'd just ignored my last (automatically sent by the bank) payment because it was for more than the total loan amount.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Finally caught up with S60...maybe I'm reading different gossip rags than Sorkin is, but I'm pretty sure I've never read anything, ever, anywhere, about a President of Programming at any network. Ever.

I am finding that the less I know, or more importantly think, about Sorkin, the more I like S60. Ignorance is entertaining, not bliss, but it will do.

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

It's Friday night. I'm putting off watching the Sci Fi Friday and catching up on Spooks by importing all my TV/movie sound effects/quotations into the iTunes on my Powerbook.

God, I remember when it was all the rage to customise the sound events in Windows.

I just hit "Help! Help! Somebody save me!" by Tweety Bird, and it's cracking me up unduly.

I know I had a life at one time. Perhaps it's in the other room.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Yesterday I get a "Will proceed to collections toute suite" bill. For $12. Because apparently I should have paid that off when I first got the bill for $700. The rest of the amount has gone away, which is quite nice. And the lady when I called made it seem like it wouldn't be quite that immediate them repossessing my car or anything.

I had something ridiculous like that for testing I had with Olivia. I went to a different hospital than usual (my OB trainied there and he sent all his high risk/aging moms there for testing). Their billing was so screwed I never quite knew what I was paying. And while I was waiting for the insurance company to sort it out, I kept getting calls. Every two days. Asking me to pay. The bill was less than $30.

Needless to say, with all the harassment, I waited until the last possible minute to pay the damn thing.

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

although the new 'do really suits her, I can't look at her haircut too long, without going to a Rosemary's Baby sort of place.

Definitely looks like a cult initiation thing. But cute!

It's certainly a striking haircut, I agree. I don't know that I like it on her, though.

Wha?!

It makes her look way too angular and gaunt,

Nuh-uh!

and sort of like the cult shaved her head when she signed up.

That's the best part about cults! Manson Women, Synonon, Vestal Virgins, Catholic Nuns, Buddhist Nuns. If it weren't for the head shaving I wouldn't even like cults.

I was never fond of her Joey Potter long long long do-nothing hair, but this is a little....extreme.

Hey, little Miss Ex-Vanilla. Guess who's not allowed to make that call anymore?

ION, the baby? She cries. Incessantly. Well, sometimes she's more fussing than crying. She's fed. She's changed. She cries. This leads to conversations like this:

Me: So, when do we have the baby scheduled for being smiley? By Christmas maybe?
JZ: Yeah, that's what I put on the calendar.
Me: Because I think I will enjoy the baby more when she's smiling instead of the part where she's screaming in our faces all the time.
JZ: I should've bumped her smiles up to Thanksgiving, huh?
Me: Yeah, I think so.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

NATLBSB!
