Good god, I am wrung out.

It`s good! Sheesh. That was a real nailbiter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is the black president in The Event definitively post-Obama, or is he post-24, post-Heroes? Someone on another thread called him an Obama-lookalike, and I just barely didn't say "so we all look the same to you??" because, NO RESEMBLANCE.

To anyone that's seen it--is the character at least similar to Obama to deflect the vibes I'm getting off this comment? Is he like Obama?

I'm getting the pig!

Yay Perkins and Drew for good results!

I'm glad to hear your birthday was good, Sue.

House? Very squee-worthy. I think I may have missed the final ep of season 5, though, because I was very lost at the beginning of the ep. I'll have to search for that online.

Have I mentioned that I hate the "man up" Miller Lite commercials? I do.

You know, we watched those Miller Lite Man Up commercials at work prior to them airing on tv and I was just @@ at all of the people laughing at them and thinking they were great. To me, the commercials said, "we don't want women to drink our beer" and, "being different or a trendsetter is unmanly - all men should be the same!" loud and clear. Screamed it, even. WTF? This is 2010, right? Almost 2011? Who thought of this shit?

I'm not a man and have zero need to Man Up, which is fine since I don't drink beer... but I would like a bonus at some point so I'd still like other people to want to buy it and drink it. Feh. Stupid commercials.

Watched the game with Daisy's other cousin- she set the TV up in the courtyard, and we drank Miller Lite and ate meatballs and played with the dogs and watched the game. Gorgeous night out tonight!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Is the black president in The Event definitively post-Obama, or is he post-24, post-Heroes? Someone on another thread called him an Obama-lookalike, and I just barely didn't say "so we all look the same to you??" because, NO RESEMBLANCE.

He's closer to Obama than to Palmer, but I don't know if that's enough to justify that kind of comment. They've established that his family is from Cuba. Maybe people are taking that as a sideways reference to Obama.

My beets said August. They are demised appropriately.

The Event president is Latino! Can we make a big deal of that? Obama's not claiming a heritage that's much other than a typically black and white bread one. Obama isn't being Kenyan all up in the White House mug. I'm all offended at the poster on the other board.
