Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty
The night they first knew they were kindred spirits, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost were in a North London curry house with a group of friends in 1993. "In moving a condiment, I made a noise like a droid in 'Star Wars,' the little one that Chewbacca roars at and he runs away," says Pegg. Frost takes over the story: "Our eyes connected, and it was as if there was no one else in the restaurant through this pink mist."

Tep, did you see the Spock Blocked definition that's been floating around? (When someone prevents you from engaging in a conversation with someone you find intellectually stimulating, basically.) It's the best term ever. Pegg and Frost made me think of it, which made me think of you.
Gronk.
Shipped product this week. Perhaps less grey now?
They just identified the killer on the L&O CI rerun I'm watching because of how he enunciates his Ts.
Wasn't there an episode of L&O:TOS where they identified a killer because of his upper-case Es? Which were deemed colonial in nature? Which made me blink, because they looked perfectly normal to me.

That? Is pure awesome. I HATE being Spock Blocked!

Well, as a faux-Canadian you are a colonial.

And no, I have not revealed my deep familiarity with online community-building.
Hah! I'm not sure I would've been able to resist. Even though I feel ridiculous trying to explain that really, we aren't still sitting around discussing "Buffy"
OH! And turns out neighbor is renovating bath and getting rid of his original purple sink. And he'll give it to me! Needs some work (something msbelle's link would cover) but I GET ORIGINAL SINK!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, at this point, I feel like that's the only awkward part left.

I love that phrase! I want to adopt it, take it home, and feed it Webster's Lingua-bits kibble.

Can anyone explain why I've had "I'll Never Tell" (yes, from Once More With Feeling) in my head for the past couple of days? It came up once on my iPod, weeks ago. And I can't quite remember most of the lyrics, so it's really annoying.
