Emily, who was smokin' (as opposed to smoking) last night:
I'd like to go down in Buffista history, if necessary, as the first person to fail to get a degree because she couldn't play checkers. That would be a comfort to me in my straitjacketed rocking and mumbling. "Can't sleep... it'll forget who's playing red..."
tommyrot:
Re: wide-screen DVD hatred - I've heard tell that some people see the black bars above and below the picture and think part of the picture is "missing."
How these people get the DVD box open is beyond me.
msbelle:
I think I am gonna write a DNR for the panda.
Natter:
vw bug: I am going to have the smartest dog EVER. Emily is very patiently teaching him Complexity. I don't get it (which I think is why she's moved to explaining it to the dog), but he seems completely taken with the whole subject.
amych: Don't be fooled, vw. My cat understood poststructuralism quite well, but I never could get her to sit down and produce a dissertation.
Continuing that exchange:
Thomash:
It's true. Pets will learn everything they can from us, but only to their own ends.

Raiders of the Lost Ring, in LOTR, DXM bringing the funny:
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"?
Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn.
Aragorn: I like "Strider."
Elrond: We named the *dog* Strider.
In Bitches...
Madrigal: Maybe the echidna skull could be useful in getting the visas back. There's the "I'm a voudun priest and I could wreak some major mojo on your ass" method, the "I'm the next Steve Irwin, you can't interrupt my travel plans" method, the "This is the skull of my country's first prime minister and must be returned to the national museum - yes, I know it's small, that's how you know it's authentic" method, and, "Dude, I got an echidna skull. That so outranks everyone else here with their gerbil skulls" method.
billytea: Hee. From now on, all my dealings with the US Consulate will begin with "Dear Gerbil Skull".
In Firefly:
joss: These people are just so alive to me, and not just because we cast living actors. (We were of course accused of anti-Zombieism, but I've auditioned a few and no offense, they move really slowly and they eat your brains. Just like Latvians.)
(I just laughed out loud when I read this, I couldn't help myself. Also, braaaaaaaains).
billytea: So they haven't got back to me on an offer. If they do, I'm going to attribute it to the aptitutde testing. Now I can only hope that my duties will include completing sequences of coloured shapes.
Buffista Fic
Erin: What surprises me is the lack of Laurell Hamilton fic. That pretty much SCREAMS "come fic me." (And it has the pumps to prove it...)
