Oh god, I went on a roller coaster once while in the throes of vertigo -- I figured it couldn't be any worse! I was wrong.

I watched part of "The 9/11 Conspiracies: Fact or Fiction" on the History Channel last night. The conspiracy theorists focus on things like "the hole in the side of the Pentagon was round and there was no sign of the wings hitting the building." The experts' reply: The wings pretty much disintegrated as the plane hit the reinforced concrete wall. What did you think would happen? One of those airplane-shaped holes they have in cartoons? The worst part was that some of the conspiracy people have been harassing the people who reported things that are contrary to their theories. Also, some contend that the calls from the plane couldn't have happened, and they were made through technology that mimicked the voice of a caller. How can you say to one of the people who received those calls that they said "I love you" over and over to a government operative?

Timelies all!

I used to like roller coasters but after a trip to one park where I kept getting slammed around in the coasters(my head kept whipping back and forth) and another trip where I realized I don't really like the "coming out of my seat" feeling I'm not so thrilled anymore.

Getting all set to do several loads of laundry and then discovering you only have enough detergent for one load is one of those signs that you fail as an adult, isn't it?

Liese, that packaging is so handy for taking your NE dvd collection with you everywhere. . .just in case you have an NE emergency.

Random puppy of the day. I love it when border collies have that very asymmetrical look.

Hey Sparky - look: Sumi is feeding your puppy jones....

Nicholas Brendon and Felicia Day are joinging SlayAlive.com this week!

sumi, totally! You never know when you're going to suddenly need the episode with the trebuchet and the piano! You have to be prepared.

Also, I tend to think conspiracy theorists are people who suffer from too structured a frame of reference onto the world.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

I think I'm a conspiracy theorist because I deeply love competence, and it would take amazing competence to pull off most of the conspiracies I believe. I was tempted to put in quotes the word "believe," 'cause it's pretty nebulous, but I felt I was betraying conspiracy theorists everywhere.

Also, remember it's not paranoia if they really are out to get you!

I'm watching Hidden Potential on HGTV. It's so odd - the backing soundtrack and the voiceover are on but the regular sound is not. I don't know how that happens -- bad editing?
