Giles ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
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.
I have ancestors who were dirt poor farmers (pre-civil war) who named their children "One" through "Twelve" and then, because of superstition or whatever, switched to regular (Cassius, Walter) for the next two.
he gets called Moore because he has a brother that goes by Les.
BWAH!!
And Meara, that reminds me of Michael Jackson calling his son "Prince".
And guess what? I am leaving the office, hitting the grocery store and watching the season premiere of "Damages"! Yay!
I just spent a happy 15 minutes watching a former Buffista speak at TED. How fun was that?
Did we know about that? Maybe we did, but I never got the memo.
Oh, I was like "Wait, did she speak at TED *again*?" but then I saw it was indeed from a 2007. I think we knew about that. At least, I did...she had posted about it on one or more of her other blogs at the time (LJ? I don't think she posted it on Dress A Day, that doesn't seem right!)
I didn't know she spoke at TED! I've got it bookmarked for later viewing.
I just got my new laptop! Also picked up a new printer, BSG Season 4.0, a copy of Spaced to replace my scratched disc, and 50 blank dvds so I can start using my dvd recorder/VCR combo set that I bought last week. Oh, and now I can finally get my first MP3 player working! (I held off until I got the laptop.)
Lots of toys to play with this week.
Astrid would be such a cool name! Imagine Grace as Astrid! It would totally be this awesome ethimix.
Speaking of Grace, today's daily picspam: [link]
Ooh, cool, Hec.
Face kicking is Go!
I think we all learned that from Billy Jack, but the lesson obtains.
"I'm going to take this foot, and kick you in the face right there. And there's not a damn thing you can do about it."
Pretty baby! I love the "yes?" photo--it shows her baby belly, just begging for a face to get rubbed in it and some zerberts to be blown on it!
Did you get the BSG with the book and the dogtags?
No, that was $8 extra. The Best Buy employee who was very nice and got the set for me while I was heading towards the computer section managed to pick that set up for me instead of the basic set I wanted, so I had to do a swap before I got rung up. I couldn't justify paying the extra cash for some promo merchandise--the book was only a paperback that looked to be about 40-50 pages at most.
