Punishingly Intricate

Dr. Horrible is supposed to go live at 12 eastern 9 pacific.

Midnight?

And then do you know how long it's up?

I wonder if I'll remember to see it. MUST go to bed now.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

It will be up through Sunday. Yes midnight. tonight

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Thanks Tamara, I definitely want to see that one.

Is it normal for a child out of diapers to throw inarticulate screaming fits 16 hours a day?

That depends on how far out of diapers, and on exactly how much you are exaggerating. A 3 year old could throw a fairly HUGE temper tantrum--for that matter a 4 year old could too but the 3 year old would be more likely IME. And while my kids usually quiet down within 30 minutes or so, my friend told me her daughter's tantrums regularly last an hour or more. And I can recall some fairly baroque crying jags from my own childhood.

And Dr. Horrible is of course brilliant and hysterical. Go figure.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I don't like it when kids are noisy in their houses, but I'm not mad at anyone. It's when they herd them into the shared space together for the exponentially excited shrieking...noise which wouldn't be tolerated from any other age group...loud enough that the TV volume has to be cranked?

As a person who lives in apartment building, I feel for you, though I have to say it depends on the kind of noise. Kids who are having a loud fight ("it's mine! - "no, I saw it first!") will make me smile if it lasts under 7 minutes. But the 30 seconds yesterday of a kid screaming hell out of him while repeatedly slamming the front door made me want to destroy the annoying creature. Oh well, I'm sure his mommy loves him.

However, the babysitter in me loves kids' noise. Because 1. it means they're alive, 2. I know what they're doing, 3. I was trained well enough to have my regular tone of voice while speaking to them and not trying to yell as hard as them to get their attention, because that never helps.

Oh, yes, and morning/timelies.

Dr Horrible is adorable. Honestly I think we'd all be happier if we lived in a universe where everyone was breaking into song at a moment's notice.

Well, I did work until my eyes were screaming at me to stop yesterday, hence probably worked over 10 hours.

So yes, maybe I can take some slack time today to watch it.

(Damn you, work ethic).
