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

I'm tired of laying there!

Get back into bed! Surfing the internet is less boring, but it only makes it worse. I always learn this the hard way, time and time again.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I know, I know, but I read somewhere that if you can't fall asleep for a long time, you should get up and do something else for a bit. I'll go back to bed in a couple minutes. =)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I read somewhere that if you can't fall asleep for a long time, you should get up and do something else for a bit.

Is the "somewhere" you read about this the Internet, perchance?

Umm, maybe? *ducks*

And with that, back to bed I go.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

A German student created a major traffic jam in Bavaria after making a rude gesture at a group of Hell's Angels motorcycle gang members, hurling a puppy at them and then escaping on a stolen bulldozer.

There's so much crazy in this sentance, I don't even know what's the craziest part.

The puppy was now in safe hands, the spokesman added.

If the Hell's Angels were animal rights activists, like Rescue Ink, then that student better hope they don't catch him.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Are we sure it's not Sasha Baron Cohen's latest movie?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

The thing is, however progressive South Pacific may have been for its time, it's still, to me, unwatchable in 2010. The racism is only a part of it - there's also the fact that the tragic love story between Joe and Liat begins with him raping her (with her mother's permission, of course).

Yeah... it's the racism is bad angle on one hand with the portrayal of Liat and Bloody Mary essentially throwing her daughter at the hot white man.

But I do love most of those songs.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I totes agree, Kat! I went to that same production a couple of weeks ago, and I kept being blown away over and over. "Oh yeah, this great song is from this show, and now this OTHER great song is from this show and now THIS one..." An incredible score.

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

"What motivated him to throw a puppy at the Hell's Angels is currently unclear"

And I suspect it will remain so.
