That first thing, Brenda.

Also, apropos of nothing, Nutty knocked Zapp Brannigan out of my tag, thus cruelly dashing any hopes of a permanent Futurama tag majority.

Well, that was really not worth staying up for. Feh. I hate stunt casting.

Brenda, it was clear to me from the very beginning. they should have found a better actor to play the young mobster whose name I forget. He and Daltrey look nothing alike, even counting the 30 years. but that's what happens in that sort of situation.

Perkins the cat is at the vet today burning a hole in my savings account recovering from getting his teeth cleaned

I'm going to have to take Amarna in to get her teeth cleaned after the holidays, but the good thing is that the animal hospital is offering a discount on all health maintenance services performed in the months of January and February. They do this every year, apparently, and many of their patients take advantage of the discount.

I've got my tree up, finally, but will wait until tomorrow to put the lights on, and then I'll put the ornaments up later in the week. The new apartment's living room is definitely smaller than my last one, because my furniture is significantly crammed due to the tree sitting in front of the balcony door.

I have to run over to Michael's and pick up some ribbon for the garland sometime soon (the first year I had the tree, I used some really pretty white ribbon with gold pattern running through it, which was very nice against the dark green of the tree).

It always cracks me up how Mom will ask why I don't have a pet, then with the next breath complain about her cat's vet bills and habit of waking her up by yowling in the middle of the night.

Oh Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Law man has put an end to my running and I'm so far from my home
The jig is up, the news is out
They finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty

I'm more often jealous of my cat's life -- this morning, when I had to head out for work, he was curled up asleep on my bed! Just like I would have liked to have been! Must be nice.

Apparantly, getting married on an iceberg is problematic....

A entrepreneurial couple planned to get married on one of the bergs, but ran into a few glitches with their plans to land on a berg with a celebrant and celebrate their union floating in the ocean on a chunk of ice. They sold the story to a womens mag (so I guess they would need a wedding photographer too). The only probs were they could not find a pilot, and their union would not have been legal because a celebrant can only marry two people who are withing 12 nautical miles of the coast, the bergs are at least 25 nautical miles from the coast, a captain of a ship can marry two people in international waters, but icebergs do not come with captains.

Re: Friday Night Lights: The church scene with Smash accepting the money done killed me, and I really enjoyed Matt and Smash working together. The fight between Tim and his brother was ugly and far too real. Also, Jason and his roommate on the floor, laughing and hollering for Phil? That was all kinds of awesome.

Still totally smitten with Kyle Chandler.
