Yes, Aims. Despite my love for both Jonathon Rhys Meyers and sex, I find it difficult to watch. Mostly because I tend to picture JRM running in Bend it Like Beckham, and sort of meld that in my head with Henry VIII, and it just makes me giggle.

And joustings! And ficarific wrestling matches with the French king!

something on the history channel and came across a completely bizarre "HST runs on whale oil" statement

I saw that last night! It was the "Story of America" docudrama (which is annoyingly laced with celebrity quotes about American exceptionalism that I really dislike). They were talking about the whaling industry in the 19th century. I wondered how true that statement about the Hubble running on whale oil was, and was actually going to ask you about it. So, not true, then?

Oh, hey, Leverage Season 1 is on Netflix streaming! I really have to watch it now, don't I?

YES. Also, YES.

Sophia, that's fantastic!

Caffrey/Burke is my OT3. I can't see HEP in a sexual way, and believe me, I've tried. As to who's scarier, it depends on whether you want someone disgraced and sent to prison, or humiliated, broke, possibly in jail, and maybe dead. Oh, I think I just answered the question.

I just pouted and wrinkled my nose to get a 10% discount. I feel I should turn my grown-woman card in.

Having made that work, you get your hot-ass-woman card stamped and validated.

What's up with the History Channel lately, anyway? Are they snorting their own stash? I've de-favorited it.

Grey's: I love sick-of-this-shit, cares-about-the-patient Karev.

I hope the date is going well, tommyrot.

Ha ha. Ha.

Ha.

My friend M started catching Grey's in reruns, in the Izzie seeing her dead JDM place, and she was convinced that it was a comedy. Now she thinks that it is a bad drama, which I think is semi-true, but I think at least parts of it are trying to be funny, or at least "wacky",

Ha ha. Ha.

Ah well.

So, not true, then?

Taken from an internet site with no documentation. NASA_Hubble tweeted they talked to those who, you know, BUILT the damned thing, and no. Of course internutters dismiss that cause the MAN always lies.

But geez, apparently by the time it got to the History Channel, it was completely telephone-gamed.

The damned telescope runs off solar power. Those big wings on it? Solar panels.

Now the lubricants used in the gears, I can't speak to in absolute certainty, but honestly? Yeah, sounds unlikely. Besides there are billions of papers in the public domain on the construction and development of the hardware, all you need to do is cite it. There's none of that. Besides, we'd think it was a cool funky thing if we used biologics. Old school meets new, you know?

I am having a Grey's renaissance, now that Izzie is gone.

I also heart talking-about-real-shit Cristina.
