Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ah, c'mon, Dana. After the fun of Colin and the slash you can handle a little thing like furries and an actor.

Speaking of Colin, I need to get him severely hammered and get all the Vancouver actor stories out of him.

And then people can try and get me drunk for me to repeat them. I might be able to drink (with or without acetaminophen) for quite a while on that one.

I had a mimosa for dinner. That's a valid perq of being grownup, right? And now I want to hit up iTunes for Billy Ocean music since Psych gave me an earworm.

Psych was oddly brand-name-iffic this week. Some mentions might just be low grade product placement (Gus mentions the make of his car--the same car he's been driving all season), but others--weird. The matchmaker.com reference was specific but not a recommendation, per se.

I had a kitchen breakage accident and cut my thumb. Not because of the mimosa (or the acetaminophen). In fact, it was the cause. I don't want to be grownup anymore. I want to be young enough that I still believe my mother can make it go away (I figured she terrified me enough she could scare any ailment into turning tail and running--but now I realise it's only me she freaks out. Migraines? Considerably less afraid of her. Though she pointed out hers stopped wtih menopause. Don't wanna wait.)

Lemme go watch that video...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yikes, ita. I hope the cut is not too bad.

It's a pretty small cut. The main thing was making sure I didn't get it on the carpet or anything.

I'm in the middle of a pretty bad migraine and it basically destroys my coping skills, so my brain blew the whole thing way out of proportion. It's half cleaned up and I've put a chair in front of the rest of the mess so I don't stumble upon it in a midnight daze.

I hear you.

You know, I'd be terrified to be that person for a little one. I mean, that person. There are so many things I wish I could do for so many of my friends and family, and I can't.

Then again, listening and hugging and smiling counts too. I shouldn't rule out me being able to do that for others just because I'm so needy of it myself.

This is an important thing to remember (for all of us, I imagine, not just you). And fwiw, finally meeting you at paperdol's reading was wonderful. You are a lovely person and very good at making others feel special.

Oh my! That's such a nice thing to say, and I'm pretty confident I've never gotten that compliment before. I've been criminally lame in not crossing paths with you before, and maybe now that's been accomplished the next time won't be as long coming.

Hee. Maybe it was the Percocet.

I hope so!

Is there an actual matchmaker.com?

I have to say--both pain and narcotics make for a very chatty me. Different sorts of chatty, but still. From what I hear alcohol just makes me brash and belligerent. Which totally doesn't sound plausible. Li'l ole me?

Is there an actual matchmaker.com?

Online Dating, Singles, and Personals at Matchmaker.com. I wonder how much of an uptick in traffic (I'd say if at all, but I just went and looked them up, so at least one) the episode will result in.

eta:
Kinda random Fullmetal Alchemist question: I just finished disc 9, and I don't remember the name of the character-- Dr. Tucker or something whose face is on upside down. Where did he come from? I don't remember him from before.

Happy belated birthday to Nutty!

In other fun-videos-to-watch, there's this one of the late great Madeleine Kahn singing Sondheim. I have this on CD (the 1992 tribute concert at Carnegie Hall), and it's one of my favorite songs on the album.

For evocative titles (and speaking of Harlan Ellison), I always found his titles "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" and "'Repent, Harlequin!' Said the Tick-Tock Man" great titles.
