This is a sane and normal reaction.

I still do this sometimes.

I would do this, but with the wonder that is Tivo, it's much less necessary.
I've been awake since 2. I'm almost done with my blessed Chaucer paper. Well, the writing of it. Not the revising and the fixing citations bit. That will take longer.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I mean, sure, most of her life people will only know her as Cindy Wu.
But they'll call her Cindy Lou at some point anyway (I mean, right? Doesn't every Cindy get called Cindy Lou on occaision?), and that will be really really funny.
I've been reading too much Overheard in NY--I read this as his extensive knowledge of bee-yotch. And I WORK AT A BIOTECH COMPANY.
Hee! I do that all the time.
2) Having never really watched tv, mac does not understand commercials and yells for a channel change everytime they come on.
He's not wrong.

Heh. mac-belle needs a TiVo.
Me, I'm glaring back at the day, which is promising a 90% chance of rain. Why, why, oh why?

And a Keifer Sutherland's voice thing.
The phrase "I would pay to see him read the phone book" was invented for Keifer, I think.
House: At the end, when Tritter says "that deal is off the table," I literally threw my BK cup at the tv. (Aimed too high and took out the Christmas decorations on top, btw. Those wooden penguins never saw it coming.) Where are the lawyers to call shenanigans on all this procedural nonsense?? I don't see how anything that Tritter's done qualifies as correct or legal. I hope he's got a horrible crotch rot and dies because House is in jail.

P.S., House: I can't believe I forgot about emo!House! He resorts to cutting?! Will he be writing painful song lyrics in the rain next? ION, I love the actress who played the midget. She's been getting a lot of guest spots in various places recently, and she's good.

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

Whew, finally caught up. Congrats on safe returns and mac-ness, msbelle!!!
Sorry I missed the creepy Xmas/Fairy Tale convo, but this exchange:
THEY EAT THEIR FATHER. You're not right.
Oh, pshaw. They eat a duck. (Or possibly it was a goose?) It's not like they get their hands cut off or anything.
Makes me wonder if the father's name was Timothy.

What is even happening?
I mean, sure, most of her life people will only know her as Cindy Wu.
But they'll call her Cindy Lou at some point anyway (I mean, right? Doesn't every Cindy get called Cindy Lou on occaision?), and that will be really really funny.
Yes. My middle and maiden and married names sound nothing like any name having anything to do with names/words like Lou and Who.
My parents' neighbors have called me "Cindy Lou," for my entire life, and their doing so didn't have anything to do with the Dr. Seuss character. My mother's former secretary has always called me Cindy Lou Hoo. Kids have always called me it (when I was a kid, and now that I'm not). Adults have always called me it. Boyfriends called me it. My husband will call me it. Each year, my kids bubble over with delight when her name is said, in The Grinch.
It's better to embrace it, than get your knickers in a twist over it.
