Teppy, in Natter, placing Nilly on the timeline:
Okay, so you're 8 hours ahead of the US East Coast, and 11 hours ahead of board time. So tell me, how does the rest of Monday turn out?
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
In Angel:
Katie M.: It's my understanding that people who watch Enterprise like the dog.
ita: And as long as he doesn't undergo Ponn Farr, Porthos will remain my favourite character.
Ken Buddha: Well you do know about the part where part of his DNA comes from Jessica Alba, right?

Steph:
True story: when my doc first diagnosed me with depression, he sent me home with samples of Zoloft and a videotape about depression (something like "Living with Depression: Now You Have An Excuse to Wear Black"). On the cover of the videotape were these watercolor paintings of butterflies, or something.
I looked closer, and the caption said "These paintings were painted by an artist with no arms, using her feet to hold the brush, and demonstrate the triumph of the human spirit."
THIS is a good thing to give someone who's severely depressed? Armless Art????
... And slightly later:
erika:
And in an ILC, at least ours, nobody says "problem." They say "issue". So and So has mobility issues. How are you doing with your depression issue?
Steph:
::snerk:: My ennui? I think I'm going to start calling it that. Or better yet, give my depression a name. Like George. And then I could say "George is back, that freeloading motherfucker." Or "I'm going to bombard George with drugs until he leaves and never comes back!"
At the very least, my conversation will become much more interesting.
<kisses Steph>

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
For Crazy Talk, in Natter:
Ita: Man, if you have to leave home to find crazy, you're looking with your eyes closed.

Cashmere - Paul Newman's the only septuagenarian I'd considering doing.
erikaj - It disturbs me there are a few on my list.
ita - Why should it disturb you? Septuagenarians need lovin' too.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Steph L.: I'm going to hurl lightning bolts at you from my Mt. Stephlympus.
DavidS: snickers as Stepheus pricks finger on lightning bolt and drops it on her divine foot, hopping around and cursing a blue streak
Steph L.: Ooof. Taunting a demi-goddess. The nerve....
erikaj: Still better than Glory...
Sean K: Now giggling madly at the idea of Tep playing Glorificus instead of CK.
Steph L.: I'd oversleep and miss that one specific moment when the Key could rip open the portals. I guarantee it.

Lit (Steph is on a roll):
Steph: I am terrible at synopsizing books and movies. Just terrible. Thank God for Amazon.com. (Except in F2F conversations, of course, in which I think I once gave someone the impression that Return of the Jedi was a documentary about bears.)

In Firefly:
BHP: I have decided that leaving Firefly in the Tivo Season Pass is like leaving a candle in the window, or setting a chair for Elijah. One of these days the place will be filled.
ita: That's such a coincidence. I have made a bed for Orlando.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Java Cat lamenting her status in the When Come Back Bring Tape thread:
If I had a DVD player. It's true, I'm not really a Buffista: I don't know how to program anything (besides my VCR); I'm not an early adapter of technology and don't have a cell phone, DVD player, or Tivo; I don't read or write fan fic (and never heard of it before coming here); have never read any comic books beyond the Archie & Caspar comics in my orthodontist's office grades 5-10; and I've never dared to read on my work computer any of the porn that's apparently being written by True Buffistas on a daily basis.
