After looking at the nominations:
If there's one Emmy that FNL should get, it's Outstanding Casting. Sadly, I watch only one each of the series nominated for Best Drama and Best Comedy.
Willow: Happy hunting. Buffy: Wish me monsters.
'Beneath You'
Natter 52: Playing with a full deck?

Re: Traveller spoilers:
. The creepy blue-eyed guy mutters something about the "4th branch", which I guess was supposed to set up season 2.
Aha! Dick Cheney's the Big Bad of the show !

Ann, that's a ferret.
The latest on Teddy. His creatine and phosphorus are back down. High, but not extremely so. His red blood count is up a little, but it turns out that the vet had undercalculated the Epogen dosage, and he didn't get a regular dose until Sunday -- too late to have a big effect by Tuesday evening. Calcium levels are normal.
The big worry now is that his appetite and weight aren't increasing. The vet thinks it's one of two things -- either his anemia is affecting his energy and appetite, or he has a stomach problem like an ulcer.
So we're cutting the prednisone back from every other day to twice a week (part of weaning him off it) and increasing the Pepcid to every night. And since prednisone may increase dehydration, I for one hope that reducing the prednisone will reduce the need for fluids.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
There are some noises that make it impossible for me to think, or even keep my brain in a rational place. The king daddy sound is a drill.
When i hear a drill, my body's fight or flight goes into overdrive, and I feel like how an angry hornet must feel. I must kill the source of the noise.
The construction people outside my window, drilling into my wall, must be destroyed.

Why did Rome and Deadwood not get any major noms? There was fantastic acting in those shows. Just cause they were cancelled? Lame! Don't even get me started on no BSG... Olmos and McDonnell totally deserve noms. t /grump

And what about the freaking Wire??!!
(although I know the Emmys and how they disappoint too well to have put much stock in them getting it right this year.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yikes. FWIW I get really tense when a diesel engine is idling outside. Persistent low rumbling bass drives me nuts.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
You know, I love HIMYM, but there are other shows I would have given the nom over that. However, this is pretty much my response to all forms of award-type things. I'm never happy with them.
PS. Still thank you for birthday wishes!
