AmyLiz, I'm so glad you share our squee. The scene last night that really got me was when
Eric told Tami he had to leave, and she just couldn't speak, and then when he was out of sight she crumpled completely. I felt so bad for her! With the new baby and bitchy daughter and challenging job and husband gone for weeks on end! And I'm not clear, but it sounded like from what Julie said they hadn't seen Eric in eight months! Is that possible? Surely he came home for weekends and so forth, right?
I also loved the scene where Eric
bumped into Matt and his grandma in the grocery store, and they were all so happy to see each other. I love Grandma Saracen.
Now all that's left are my minicomics.
After you put them in the miniboxes, store them near Jon's miniscule theremin.
msbelle can protect them with her tiny fists.
Oh, that scene was so hard, Consuela. I adore Tami. And I love both Saracen and his grandma! Saracen is just ... adorable. I want to hug him, hard.
I think that the eight months meant overall, she wasn't counting the flying weekend trips, because seriously, it's not like he was on Everest. He had to come home at some point.
It confused me at first, because I'm so used to Buffy and even Veronica Mars, I couldn't figure out how eight months had passed and it was still summer, until I realized, oh, FOOTBALL. Ended early in the year, I guess.
I need a weekend when I can mainline all of S1. I wish it could be this week, before next Friday, but ... that's not going to happen.
Research question to be x-posted with Great Write: Anyone know how sturdy old VW buses were? Body-wise? If a vintage bus crashed into a modern police car, not hard enough to hurt anybody, but with definite impact, would the VW need a lot of bodywork? Or were they pretty sturdy?
they're about to release a guy who's served 14 years for a rape he didn't commit
And yet, the Duke lacrosse players are suing the city for 30 million dollars, and the case never even got as far as trial.

Buh? The lacrosse players have an excellent case, and you can generally pick a damages figure out of the air. Not to mention if there's that kind of shenanigans in the rape case, he can sue too.
All done with my chores!
I signed up for a season pass for Avatar on iTunes, and the new episode is up, but it won't let me download it. It's just sitting there, taunting me.

They were definately not built to survive the front end hitting anything. Or, maybe I mean to say that no one could have survived in the front seat if the front end hit anything. There was nothing between your legs and the front panel except a little air. They were built to last (the one in our family is still going) but I'm not sure they were crash-worthy. There are lots of clubs and things for them -- maybe one of those websites would discuss?
