Ginger: I'm beginning to think I should start a blog called "Fukushima Won't Kill You (But I'm Thinking About It)."
Cass: I'd subscribe.
Also it sounds like it should be a Fall Out Boy song title. Which is not a bad thing to me.
I'm catching up in Boxed Set and there were some gems:
Teppy and DH on Reign:
When I saw the commercial, I asked Tim, "Wait, THE Nostradamus?"
Tim: "Is there another? Joe Nostradamus?"
And bonny on the new Dracula:
In the ballroom scene, I thought, "Wow. Vera Wang has been in business for a looooong time."
ita in Natter:
Verizon called to offer me an international calling deal. I wasn't even going to listen, because most of my international calls are Google Talk, and 12¢ a minute to JA is pretty damned good.
However, last week Google was not letting me get through, so I called on the land line--which they have now told me cost $4.35/minute.

Thanks! Zenkitty, in Bitches: was once informed that I am a sociopath. By the guy I was living with. He ended up in jail for a series of serious crimes. I did not.
So either I'm not a sociopath, or I'm a lot better at it than he was.
In Movies, regarding ita_!'s link to an article abt a stage version of The Princess Bride:
ita_!: Ha ha ha, this can be nothing but good news
billytea: You say that a lot. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Dream conversation last night.
Me (to crowd): "This is a dream, and you will all vanish when I wake up."
Man in crowd: "In the unlikely event that is true, you are kind of a dick for saying so, and not letting us enjoy what little time we have."
