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.

Oh lord. My boss just sent an email chronicling his ills and it seems he exposed everyone. It isn't the flu, according to his doc, but he's wiped out. As in, he slept 20 hours of the last 24. Have had multiple meetings and talks with him. Really don't need to get sick now. None of us do.

Kalliope is a rocking name! One I never would have guessed. I was thinking Dinah. Or Clementine.

I'm recovering from this week. It's not good.

Good lord, there is a prescription for longer eyelashes. Now I know there are chronix conditions where it is an issue of not having any (alopecia, several coworkers have it), but seeing an ad on TV that I though was for mascara? Um.

But if you stop taking the meds, do your eyelashes go back to their normal length?

We had our first swim lesson of the season. Now that Noah talks, we can more easily find out what he like (yay! jumping in is fun) but unfortunately also what he really hates (pretty much everything else). Communication = mixed blessing.

Ugly Betty made my eyes puffy for tomorrow. Which starts too damned early. Fucking morning meetings. Thank god I'm under 10 minutes away.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Kalliope is a lovely name. You could set up a whole Muse theme for subsequent kiddies (though I fear poor Urania may have a hard time of it on the playground).

Lady Gaga. Who I thought was a really bad drag queen for the longest time.

See, if she were a drag queen, then I could at least make sense of the song. As it is I can only assume she's actually singing "No he can't read my 'poke her' face". She was apparently a stripper, which may or may not have anything to do with her choice of name. It most definitely has something to do with the video to Lovegame.

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

Hey, can anyone tell me what happened in the second hour of last night's Criminal Minda? I had to turn it off because of the pigs part, and then tivo didn't catch the rest. Just leave out anything about the pigs please.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It was horrible. The slow brother had the girl trapped underground, and she was trying to make friends/get away. They found 89 (?) pairs of shoes in a trash bin. Turned out the quadriplegic brother was trying to do brain stem research to cure himself, and the other brother had shoved him off the loft in the barn. In the end, cops killed the slow brother, and the army guy killed the evil brother.

(edited to divide two thoughts that weren't actually connected.)

Then at the very end, C. Thomas Howell was waiting at Hotch's place for him, and apparently shot him.

Was C. Thomas Howell on the show before?

Yes, he was the guy in Boston who escaped before.
