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.
Kiba Rika:
I was deified once. It was fun.
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.
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.
The only good thing I can think of about a stopover in Detroit is that it means it's not your destination.

Emily - in Natter:
So I got my first birthday present -- a shelf screw! No, seriously, I was buying one so I can finally put my bookcase back together, and I made some comment about that being a nice birthday present, and the guy gave me my 20 cents back. I was touched all out of proportion to the actual cash value.
Allyson in Firefly - on spam and the joys of a fandom campaign.
Oddly, checking my mail and a spam comes up with the title, "FIND SERENITY NOW!"
