Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Interesting news about Castle.

Now I hear that there is to be a highly unusual, yet quite funny tie-in to the show. ‘Richard Castle’ (Nathan Fillion’s character) is to be releasing the novel, Heat Wave, that he was penning on the show, which will be starring Nikki Heat, the character based on Kate Beckett (as played by Stana Katic)

I'm just thankful that only the guys who can pull off a 300 outfit at cons seem inclined to try.

OY. Got an email from a friend -- that had a video that was a promo for a tea party. I should not have watched it.

first of all it started with the references to the boston tea party and the revolutionary war -- and then there were tons of picture of various military personnel. I know she know how the military is paid. Annoying

Now tagless for your comfort.

Just caught up after spending the weekend at my 20th high school reunion (man, that was weird).

msbelle, I feel so bad for you! I wish I could help.

Did you have fun? did you find that some people changed radically and some ( sadly) hadn't changed at all?

I did have fun. My sister and I basically planned the entire thing and it worked out great. We had a fantastic turnout and people seemed to have a good time. The venue was an outdoor bar. The weather was good, the food was good and people stayed well past midnight (it started at 6 pm). The golf scramble and family picnic were also well attended.

We set up a photo slide show of old pictures people sent in and that got a lot of laughs.

Hec, there are a few hair stylists that I went to high school with that had some KICK ASS cuts. You'd have loved them. Sharp, modern, stacked bobs that showed some sexy napes. Lots of great color, too.

I'm so glad we got a good friend of ours to attend with her girl friend. She panicked a few months ago and was worried about what people would think but they came and we had a fabulous time hanging out with them.

I think I'm going to advise my kids to limit the number of high school classmates they have sex with. Because that sort of makes the reunions a little weird.

As a hetero girl, I can say that going to an all-girls' school makes this problem go away.

ION, this may be the most utterly surreal picture I've seen yet of Obama: [link] Buh? It's funny, though.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Ack! Got a nice new toilet seat, but the old one won't come off. First off, the bolts have to be released from underneath, secondly, there's two inches of room to work in on either side, thirdly, the washers holding the bolts are plastic that are soft enough to not hold their shape when I take the wrench to them (and therefore no gripping or turning-ness) but hard enough that the hacksaw isn't a viable option.

Drill through the top like I'm popping the head off a screw, or blowtorch from below?

Neighbor is an option, but it took him a month and a half to finally walk across the driveway to do a two minute job, so I won't be holding my breath.
