[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Kaylee is a great name!

Kaylee is a great name! if she shows an aptitude for keeping engines running, all the better

I once knew someone whose dachshund was named Lady Samantha von Wobblebottom.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh, I've seen the whole series. This is a rewatch.

To answer your question, um... very carefully?

War Horse (link starts video trailer)

Quite simply The. Most. Astonishing. piece of theater I have ever seen.

I'm still shaking. I'm speechless.

This. This is why I do what I do.

Looks very moving, Sean. Took me a second, I thought the horse was real, and thinking, "oy, that's a lot of crap to put on the horse every night". But then I saw, nsm. Amazing. Can't wait to hear all the details.

Our wings are not tired.

I know you're not going to believe me, but I was watching "Firefly" at 3:30 because once again the birds/raccoons eating the damned plumbs by my bedroom window woke me up...and I TOTALLY thought you should name the new puppy "Kaylee".

Seriously. I'm blown away by this play. It's so cliche to say this, but there were several moments that *literally* took my breath away. Several moments that had me weeping almost uncontrollably, except I didn't want to make a sound, because I didn't want to miss anything. The puppeteering in this play was so unbelievable.

The staging, the design, the acting and the direction all came together into something truly sublime and arresting.

I've never seen anything like it.

As my parents and I were sitting here talking about it, what I told them was that until about 7:00 pm tonight, this trip to Italy and London was the best birthday present ever.

As of now, this play is the single best birthday present I've ever received. The whole trip thing, that's a nice little footnote attached to it.

That should give you all some perspective on the effect War Horse has had on me tonight.
