...I even met someone who kept getting Harry Potter and LoTR (the movies) confused. Because both had wizards.

You know how it is, I keep getting Rashomon and Pokemon confused, because they both end in the syllable "mon".
Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Please excuse me while I expire in a cloud of oldtimerness sautéed in a light oil of obscure injokery.

We few, we happy few, we band of buggered viewers and not in the good way...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

From back a ways, I am not as happy as some about Sir Ian playing Dumbledore. It will dilute his Gandalf, I'm afraid.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Holiday illness discussion in Natter--
shrift:
Two out of three of my prescriptions basically have a Denis Leary-esque "Don't make any plans!" notation on them. Joy.
Madrigal:
I caught a traditional holiday bug and now my head is doing its salute to phlegm. I've been going back and forth sounding like either Alanna Ubach or an end-stage Katharine Hepburn.

Evening, O Buffistas. This is notice to the admins -- ita, in specific -- that I did get that email, and thanks.
Also notice to the community at large that if you are a total ass and fail to respond to an email from a friend in Atlanta, and she remembers you're a Buffista, and she emails the admins afraid you are dead? The admins will provide proof you're not dead on demand. Not part of a cult, that they can't promise. That's for Phoenix 2.0.
Nutty, in either B or BBB.

ita, on the Legoloost:
A vendor said to me yesterday, after seeing my glorious wallpaper "I think my wife might have a crush on that Elf guy."
I broke the news to him. If he even has a slight hunch, then it's true and she's just trying to be nice. I've found men dismiss the Legolas- oost out of hand. "But he's nancing about!" "He's a girly man!"
"How many orcs have you killed recently?" I ask them.
That is what separates the geek from the elf.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Cindy, in Firefly:
I need help interpreting this one. I went to see TTT tonight. In the VCR was the tape from Christmas morning and evening (my children, seeing their presents, opening presents, being goofy, singing, etc.).
Because I have the VCR programmed to record on Fridays at 8, the mother turned on and recorded. However, my VCR is set up such that it records whatever station to which the cable box is tuned. We were out. M-i-l let the kids watch Sponge Bob, which must have been on at 8:00. So, because Firefly wasn't on, Sponge Bob has been recorded over my Christmas video of my family.
Is this a good sign for the show? A bad sign for my family? Will Nickelodeon be picking up Firefly? Will the Red Sox ever again win the world series? Should Joss turn Simon into a big, yellow sponge? These are the kind of things I need to know.

If I only had a brain...
Kiba Rika in Firefly (nonspoilery):
There's a book you need to get, called "Latin Sexual Vocabulary." It will solve all these problems for you.
Or you could just get a basic Catullus reader with a glossary in the back.
