If you want to watch Rachel Maddow's reaction to the "Shagged by a rare parrot" video, check it out. At the end of it, she's laughing so hard she can barely speak.

I watched SGU last night. It has potenial. But there were a few times I was thinking "Voyager without the Prime Directive".

I'm at the dealership. I haven't had service on the prius since leaving CA. But I had synthetic oil put in, and including the drive across, have only driven 11,000 mikes in 15 months. But I think I have a coolant leak, as my windshield "fogs" up easily. Ugg. Guess I'm not getting a new airport.

youtube just came back up -- that was scary seska. It got wose the longer it went on

"In the Night Garden" is a scary title, even. I'm going to write a horror novel around that title. Why would a childrens' show be named anything with "Night" in the title unless it was supposed to be scary? Good thing I never had kids. I obviously don't have the right kind of brain.

Whenever I'm sad, I'm gonna play that video of Rachel Maddow laughing helplessly at a parrot gittin' his freak on.

Woot, no coolant problems. Saved me a couple hundred bucks I don't have.

I told Dylan he could watch a movie or TV this afternoon since it's cold and rainy, and he requested Finding Nemo (or as he calls it "the movie about fish with Nemo and Nemo's daddy")

My work as a parent? Done.

(Yes, we skip the opening scene. It makes Mommy cry.)

You want scary kids' TV? In The Night Garden.

Huh. I must have a different definition of scary, because I found that mildly charming, but not very interesting.

Me, too. Maybe after watching Teletubbies and Boobah with the kids, my brain is warped.

So many of the BBC kids' shows do seem like they would be better viewed under the influence, though.

Zeus, if I watched that while stoned, I'd be having mad flashbacks for the rest of my life. "Horrifying" might be a better description than "scary". Spiders are scary. Those things are like seeing a shoggoth outside the window.

aaaaahhhhh! The window! That terrible face! That terrible eye! Heaven save me! (And there the journal ended. Poor Dr. Wigglibus, never seen again.)

Here's the first part of an In the Night Garden episode. It's even weirder when they try to have plot. [link] Though the plot seems to be that there's a sort of train thing called the Ninky Nonk which travels around, and all the characters board.
