My writing instructor says I tend to use perfectly grammatical British phrasings that she fears may confuse American readers. For instance "I think it an illustration" vs. "this is an illustration.
Gee, I wonder where I picked up that habit?
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!
'Him'
Natter 56: ...we need the writers.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think those are braziers
Same (c/s) swapping as happens all the time across the waters.
Watching Danny Baldwin in Outer Limits. Wow, that man looks tired.

And then there are brassieres!
I kinda blew the weekend. Grocery shopping got done, but I didn't clean (will have to during the week or I'll go insane) and didn't tape the carpets. Boo.
My mom's position at the neighborhood school was eliminated for next year. (Professional development teacher.) She found out after hearing a rumor that if a school under 500 got an asst. principal, they lost the PDTs. She had to confront the principal (who made the call) to get this confirmed. They didn't announce it when they announced the asst. principal position. Talk about shitty managing. She's a little bitter.
She'll find something for next year , it just sucks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, that's really shitty, sarameg.

Wow, the new Knight Rider is bad.
I mean, yes, I knew it would be, but still. It's painful.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Cool pictures of the awesome ice hotel / ice church in Sweden: [link]
Just gorgeous.
ION,
Wow, the new Knight Rider is bad.
Yeah, it could never hope to match the original. Especially the episode where the guy has amnesia and ends up wondering why a talking car is following him....

I'm glad you watched it Dana, that way the rest of us don't have to.
I only watched the new Stargate Atlantis before I retired too tired to be coherent. (B.Org doesn't count). So I haven't even gotten as far as Torchwood and I'm going to bed.
All weekend, at odd minutes during the SF convention, I found myself thinking how pleasant it would be to rest up during the day on Monday, only to remember too late that in fact I don't have ANY of it off. Feh.
Which is why I should get to bed.

I can't work out if swivel.com is cool or fluff. Perhaps because I haven't found any sets that interest me yet. Curious, though.
I guess I'll still try watching Knight Rider, because it's there and I can't help myself. And I have tomorrow off, so endless TV isn't the worst thing in the world.
I am sad Supernatural got its own thread because I'd love to be discussing this week's ep in Boxed Set, but I sure don't have the energy for new threads.
Mek me go doze in front o di TV.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
The really, really bizarre thing is the series of Ford commercials in the middle of Knight Rider. The hero is riding in a Ford Focus, and KITT is stalking them. He just called the Ford Focus a whore.
