I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Here's something weird. Tropical Storm Erin came ashore last week, broke up, and moved into hot Oklahoma, where it is recreating itself into a storm system with high winds (still only tropical storm intensity), and a rotation pattern that looks remarkably like a forming eye.

A friend of mine says he's been watching this sort of thing happen for the past 2 years, but this is the first time he's seen it so far inland. And prior to about 2 years ago, he'd never seen it happen at all.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

OK, so next weekend I'm going to attempt to bring the TV down to the consignment shop.

Always Anti-fascist!

Ah, Jesse, yeah, "A Firing Offense". I really love that one, but it does make me an ass in "Best Buy" Although I don't really think those people are stoned. Maybe they should be. Maybe it would help.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just re-read "Sweet Forever," which just reminded me about all those guys.

You guys, my new TV is freaking awesome.

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

You guys, my new TV is freaking awesome.

When am I invited?

Any time! Or, ASAP before my place gets bad again.

I can't tell if I'm doing something wrong, because my same old cable service is now filling up the whole screen, but the picture doesn't look stretched out. Maybe it is anyway. Eh.

Also, I cannot for the life of me get the cable remote to turn the TV on and off. Time Warner offered me three codes, none of which seem to work.

Crap. I was supposed to do laundry today. Yeah, that's not going to happen. Maybe I'll do a load tomorrow after work.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Egad, I have tv envy. I haven't had tv envy in forever, not because I have a nice tv or anything (ours is a dinosaur). But now I want a new one. TV however will have to wait until after the new oven, the much-hoped-for dishwasher, and the bunk beds.

Homeownership is one big money sink.

I just went nutty. In my head, flat-screen TVs were a grand, so I would never get one, but this one was less than half that. And my old TV sometimes wouldn't turn on. It worked fine when it was on, but still.

Tom, should I not bother trying to sell it, do you think?

Also, my oven door doesn't close all the way and I have no dishwasher.
