If I only had a brain...

Oh, Hell. Did anybody tape the last new West Wing? I think it was week-before-last. My parents forgot to watch.

Also, if anybody feels like recapping last week's Survivor, I'd be patheticdally grateful. Turns out it was #47 on priorities and the TiVo picked up the kids' anime instead. Grrr.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Survivor recap, whitefonted just in case anyone cares:

After TC, Sandra decided that nobody should get to eat "Rupert's fish" after voting him off, so she hid the bucket behind some bushes, and then proceeded to rip Jon a new one. Because Sandra was busy shouting, when people noticed the fish were gone, they blamed Christa instead. Sandra said nothing. Bitch.

Later, Sandra decided to break up the alliance of 5 by letting Ti overhear Jon and Burton planning to vote her and Darrah out. Ti and Darrah decide to go along with Sandra and Christa and vote out Burton.

The reward challenge is the loved-ones one -- various loved ones appear, and must give matching answers to questions about the tribe members. (A la the Newlywed Game.) A correct answer lets you pick whose loved one walks the plank. Jon's "loved one" is his best friend. When the friend walks up, Jon asks "where's Grandma?" and the friend tells Jon that she's dead. This gets Jon enough sympathy from everyone (except Sandra) that they let him win so he can have a night with his friend and get info on Grandma's death. Everyone else in the tribe must spend the night on another beach, while Jon & his buddy get free reign of the camp.

Naturally, because Jon is a weaselly little shit, it turns out that the dead grandmother thing was preplanned, and is a total lie. So now Jon has everyone feeling sorry for him. He also gets away with statements like "Yesterday, I was willing to screw anyone in this game to win, but today, after everyone let me win the reward challenge so I could find out about my grandma, I don't think that's true anymore." Fucking asshead.

The immunity challenge is a word puzzle, which Darrah wins. (In a tie-breaker, after Jeff mistakenly announced Burton the winner before he noticed a misspelling.)

For some reason -- probably lightheadedness from the lack of protein since Rupert left -- Ti and Darrah decide to tell Jon and Lil that they're going to vote out Burton when they get back to camp. This sends Jon running to Sandra and Christa to persuade them to vote out Ti instead, and make the final 4 Jon, Burton, Sandra and Christa.

Clearly, every woman in this game is too dumb to live, because Sandra and Christa agree to this idiotic plan, and vote out Ti instead of Burton.

Thanks. Wow. What a little weasel You-Know-Who is. Sorry I missed it.

Is there anyone about who watches Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and would be willing to be a tape fairy (no pun intended) for me? I'd be happy to pay for videotapes and postage fees.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

If anyone could tape Angels in America forme when it airs on HBO, I'd be incredibly grateful and express said gratitude through baked goods.

Steph, I recorded the first installment of Angels in America for you. Want me to send it now, or wait to get the 2nd half on the same tape? Please send your snailmail address to my profile addy in either case.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Matt, have you found a tape fairy for QE4tSG? Can we work out a trade for Angels in America?

Possibly, Beverly, but I'm not sure if my VCRs will play well together and allow me to dub copies. The tape from the one that records reliably is already promised to Steph. I'll check within the next day or two to see if I can pirate a viewable copy.
