I was so sad for the tiny little Canadian!! On a French word! A few of the other words I've known or were easy--gnocchi?!? Netsuke? Mauke?
Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.

I was out on the back deck, cursing mosquitos. (Thank goodness a) MD mosquitoes don't give me weeklong half dollar lumps and b) my bug spray oddly soothes them.) And marvelling that 4 months ago, standing in that same place, the snow was to my hips, even with the railings. Loki frantically digging at the snow.
Now, Loki is stalking the flies that snuck it, looking like a marionette operated by a cracked out monkey.
Seasons. Funny.

Art Crawl!!!
I had totally forgotten what FNL was going to be about so I was not prepared.
And now I am a wreck.

sumi, yep. Question: in the closing shot was that blood on the handle of the shovel?
I love the Taylors. I love the repeated use of feeling useless. Cause that's what that situation does. You can just be. That's it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Marc Abrahams of the IgNobel awards wrote today to inform me that tomorrow is Dead Duck Day, an annual event celebrated at the Natural History Museum in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. What, pray tell, does Dead Duck Day celebrate? Marc says:
It's the anniversary of the first known observation of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard duck.
I seriously can't even look at ducks anymore.
Anyway, this observation won museum curator Kees Moeliker an IgNobel back in 2003. Since then, he's commemorated the sacrifice made by the poor duck in question with what is variously described as a memorial service or re-enactment (?!)—followed by an all-duck dinner at a local Chinese restaurant.
Maybe I'll have duck for dinner tomorrow....

Loki has a shoe fetish. Good thing he lives with the right person: [link] Please ignore the litter tub peeloff (shoes in the front are the ones I wore to the wedding. And danced for hours in. Actually really comfy for that. I even did a lot of jumping.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That ep made me cry more than just about any other show, ever.
