Hugh Laurie's hair when younger was a soft light brown, just the other side of blond. Becker always looked blond to me.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I know, right!
I adore Phil Plait.

My office is creepily quiet today. There are four of us at the end of the hall, and then no one else!
Days like that are always sort of creepy, especially when nobody has turned on the hall lights.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
In happier news, Obama is a Wire fan. OMG!!!!1!
And he collects Spider-man comics.
Also from that article:
His favourite book is Moby-Dick by Herman Melville
I guess I can forgive him this. (Maybe.)
His favourite music includes Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, Bach and The Fugees
Okay, the big fucking whale book is forgiven.
He doesn't drink coffee and rarely drinks alcohol
And again, my loyalty is called into question. NO COFFEE? That's just wack. Maybe he's a robot.
As a teenager he took drugs including marijuana and cocaine
I love how, post-"I didn't inhale" and post-W. (who snorted anything remotely white and powdery), drugs aren't even an issue anymore.
He uses an Apple Mac laptop
Okay, all is forgiven. I LOVE YOU OBAMA!!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
WRT Becker, I actually think I may be a victim of the complexion thing Ouise mentioned. He seems like he ought to be a redhead! But maybe he actually isn't.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I've been asked to track when some people in my department take coffee breaks.
ION - I am with sara on the blown 2008 budget. But more recently I've just not been managing the money well. I need to put in a load of reimbursables, but my paperwork is a mess right now. I guess that should be my project tonight while I have the helper.

I was also surprised when I saw that and realized that at no time in the election was it brought up. Made me wonder what McCain was hiding that they just didn't want to go there.

I think Becker is a strawberry blonde.
I just bought my husband a $550 camera as a 40th birthday present. I am torn between "Wow! I am a nice wife!" and "Damn! That was expensive!"

flea, I'd say both. Emphatically.
