Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Last night, after I went to sleep, I got out of bed, came to my desk, found my scissors, cut through the tape, removed the split, and went back to bed.

Your sleeping self is....thorough? Ambitious?

So apparently there is a tv satellite receiver out in the UK that shares a name with a piece of software we support. Of course, this means the DUMBEST emails seeking help are coming to me, because the stupid people can't figure out the difference between the two.

Makes me thankful for my prima donnas, I gotta say.

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

Two things happened last night with the splint, I now realise. I brought it back to bed with me, and I broke it.

Not in that order.

Time to break in the backup. Which I really don't love.

Does this mean it will be hacked to pieces overnight?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's probably too early for Hecubus to show up, but I'm eating breakfast and I didn't want him to miss out on an oatmeal experience.

I had oatmeal too.

I haven't had caffeine yet, though, which is probably why I had to stop and think about how many Fs and how many Es "caffeine" is supposed to have. It still doesn't look quite right.

I get the gronklies in the afternoon, not the morning, although since I've started this diet? NSM! I'm trying to wean myself off of the Diet Coke, and have managed to get my weekly intake down from about 7-8 20-oz. bottles to 2-3. I only have coffee when I go out to eat or when I'm visiting someone who is a morning coffee drinker, then I'll join them.

They were talking about that astronaut story on the radio this morning, and a caller was telling about the time she was in her early 20s and stalking an ex-boyfriend, using the term "going astronaut" to pinpoint her over-the-top moment.

Jack Davenport has a lead in a CBS show!!!

From Zap2it:

CBS has also cast Grant Show and Jack Davenport as two of the leads in its 1970s suburban partner-swapping drama "Swingtown." Davenport will play a businessman happily married to his high school sweetheart, with Show as an airplane pilot in an open marriage.

Awesome movie poster for Veronica Mars, done in old 1940's style detective noir: [link]

Do we discuss VMars somewhere more relevant? I can't remember.

Veronica Mars has its own thread. Cool poster!

What is even happening?

SA, there's a Veronica Mars thread.

Caveman vs. Astronauts now has a whole new dimension.
