That sounds lovely, Laura. I shower alternate showers and baths. In an ideal world (one where I didn't have to be at work at 7:30 am) I would shower every morning and take a bath each evening. No combining them for me, as L.A. has separate showers and baths--don't know why, but almost every home and apartment is this way. It leads to larger bathrooms and nice tile shower stalls, so I ain't complaining!
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

John, insent. I realised after the event that I replied to your work address, hope that's OK.

That's OK, thanks Fiona. I'll be at work soon.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Three minutes into the movie and I'm already yelling at the screen.
They had the President of the United States saving the world by climbing into a jet fighter and blowing stuff up and this is what you yell at? ...Damn, it's good to be back.
Have any unamericans had experience with the squatting style they want to share?
FTR, and this may be because I've been away a while, I read 'unamericans' being pronounced like the Unabomber. Which I like to think enhanced the experience.
At first I found it really difficult, but I got used to it after a couple of days, but I didn't find any kind of transition problem coming back to "western" toilets.
Y'know, I found driving on the right to be much the same. ...Ok, maybe not that much the same. But you know what I mean.
And, FTR, I find myself firmly in favour of both baths and showers, especially where other people are concerned, for I am a long-time user of peak-hour public transport.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

I just (finally) saw Pyscho Beach Party. The User Comment at IMDb sums up perfectly how I feel about this excellent, low-budget comedy, so I won't write too much here (as usual). All of the acting was superb, with Lauren Six Feet Under Ambrose giving a wonderful performance as Sally Field playing Gidget while making Sybill.
I also have to say that Kimberley Davies was a surprise. I only know her from the godawful Aussie soap opera, Neighbours, so her delightful turn as a Marilyn Monroe/Jayne Mansfield z-grade movie actress, was a revelation.
Oh and Nicholas Brendon had a lot more screen time than I expected, so that was cool. :)
He also (sort of) faced up to Channon Roe again. Channon is the actor who played "Jack" in season 3's, "The Zeppo".

I yelled more, believe me. Probably most when Jeff Goldblum interfaced with an Alien starship using Mac OS 8, which would barely to talk to a Windows NT server on a good day.

I thought that the idea that advanced life-forms used Macs was a basic tenet of your religion, John ;)

Damn, puns are pervasive.
I read that as "a basic telnet of your religion".

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
plasmo - you were in NZ? I visited there May before last. (I was going to say "spring" but then I realized that would be ambiguous.) My brother and I were visiting his girlfriend, who has been playing in a percussion ensemble based in Wellington.
Did you have a good trip? I loved NZ, and wish we could have stayed longer.
