I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

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

Yes! That's the one I was thinking of.

I think women's magazines are more insidious than men. Maxim's very up front how you'll never have that girl/body/car, but isn't trying or dreaming fun? Women's magazines seem to be more straightforward with the whole $1450 turtleneck thingy.

I love it. I feel like an anthropologist on a field trip.

I should be getting sprung today in good time for the krav holiday party (a little bird told the staff I was itching to make a Great Escape (I don't remember--how does Papillon end?)). So not urgent, since I still have the book and books on iPod.

I just realised that my iTouch justification, whenever I get it, will be to watch stuff.

I had a brief moment of "I should get an iTouch and then lend it to ita while she is in the hospital!" Then I realized that was crazy. And not even a GOOD justification.

Yeah, my iTouch rationalisation is that it would better to watch stuff on than either of the iPods in my bag now, plus hooked into the free wifi my phone is balking at now.

Apple--crazy pusher people.

The entire back of my right hand where the IV goes in is in pain. Head's backed off though.

Sorry about the hand pain. Happy that the head is backing off.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's something, anyway.

I have yet to do anything productive. Meh. Maybe later.

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

I had a brief moment of "I should get an iTouch and then lend it to ita while she is in the hospital!" Then I realized that was crazy. And not even a GOOD justification.

I kind of want to email G. and ask him to get me an itouch so I can give it to ita.

Okay, maybe more than kind of.

I'm glad the head pain is backing off, ita.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Papillon ends with a Daring Attempt involving something like throwing a raft made of coconuts lashed together into the roiling waves (with oneself attached to the raft). No word on whether it was successful.

sports movies where someone dies (or gets a clearly deadly illness), which so moves the team that they go on to win a game. So far, I've got this, Brian's Song, and Pride of the Yankees.

Well, I'm not sure Pride of the Yankees counts; I mean, they were Murderer's Row for a really long time before Gehrig got sick, and were still the Everloving Yankees afterward.

Remember the Titans kind of counts, though, what with the captain of the team getting paralyzed right before the big game, which they proceeded to win without him. Also based on a true story.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We're hosting a housefilk, so we need to clean up. Of course, I'm sitting here....
