Nora, I caught it a few episodes in and didn't see the pilot until later. Even so, I found myself on my feet cheering for a fictional character playing a sport I don't like. Impressive. And yes, I cried at the pilot, too, even though I was spoiled.

Best to have tissues handy when watching FNL. Never know who's gonna make you cry when. Lots of feels from lots of characters.

What did Tom think?

You guys! At a party tonight, I got suspended (rope dealie; actually kind of like a hammock, seriously) for the first time. It was SO COOL!

Here's a picture (NOT of me, and it IS totally SFW) of what it basically looks like (except my hands and arms were free): [link]

Yay fun! I can hardly call it kinky; I was fully clothed, and it was just -- hook me up, hoist me off the ground, watch me swing back and forth saying "Whee!!!" That's all it was. SO FUN!

OK, Teppy, that does look kinda fun!

Indeed. With so many points of suspension, it almost looks like it would be therapeutic for someone with back problems.

Pix, glad to hear you're feeling a little better. That was a heck of a wipeout. Much ~ma for getting everything back in shape.

sj, I hope the car problem is something minor and easily fixed.

Glad you had fun, Steph!

Heh- Tom went into the office when I started the episode, possibly because of the football thing. He came out for the last 15-20 minutes, and I think he was intrigued although he tried to hide it, heh.

I could feel that hit coming, with the astounding amount of pressure the entire town had placed on that poor kid's shoulders. Every scene was basically complete foreshadowing.

Omg, Tammy Taylor. "His and her closets!!!" And that awesome scene with her daughter and Texan ladies at the car dealership. Haaaaaa.

Had a dream about that world last night, actually!

There are a lot of different positions/poses people can be suspended in; some are beautiful, but not very comfortable at all. (And then some people *like* to be not comfortable, so, win-win.) Since it was my first time, I just wanted something comfortable and simple, and it was pretty cool. Even though I was only a couple-few feet off the ground, it was still a freaky moment to have my feet leave the ground and realize I was just...hanging there. And then I started swinging back and forth and going "Whee!" (I am apparently the poster girl for refuting the myth that Kink Is Serious Business And If You're Laughing You're Doing It Wrong.)

Busted Tees has a Living Social deal $15 for $30.

that does look like fun `

The car was just the battery and AAA was able to fix it at the house for us today. Thanks for the quick and cheap -ma.

We also slept in a little today and it did us both a world of good.
