Dr. Darling.

I wonder if he is related to my great-aunt's husband and family, as they were Darlings. I love that name!

Makes me think of Dr. Sexy from SPN, which is nice. In many ways.

I wonder if he is related to my great-aunt's husband and family, as they were Darlings.

Or to Wendy and her brothers.

Feel better, Bev.

Also, here's hoping you can get some oxygen, ita !

It's taken me three hours to eat my lunch. I keep getting distracted. I still have an orange to eat. At this point, it seems like work.

I may have to take a stroll down to the pharmacy at lunchtime to get some breathing drugs.

Or just to escape the guy over the cube walls, who I can hear chewing his lunch. It's just..it's a pretty high wall, and I shouldn't be able to hear a sandwich and whatever he's drinking.

Man, developers. Just read the requirements documents, nuh? I tell you the population of the file feed and the audience of the link *explicitly* carefully there. But you're off in your own little direction. Reading is fundamental.

Or to Wendy and her brothers.

The funny think is that the one of the Darlings in my generation is named Michael Darling, and he is impossible to google!

That's certainly one way to Internet privacy, have a name that's indistinguishable from something famous.

For a little while there, Colin was unfindable. But he's achieved ascendancy now. Good on him.

I realized a few days ago that I'd finally run through most of the items on my long-standing to-do list, so I started to make a new one this morning, and now I wish I hadn't. I liked that feeling of accomplishment while it lasted.

Oof. That's what I hate about work--every time I get a handle on it, there's suddenly new issues! Sigh.

Catching up today even from just three days off is making me crazy. However, I am taking a break and Occupying My Couch. Sadly, this occupation will not last nearly as long as I want it to.

I did see the Occupy Seattle protestors the other night (as well as driving by Occupy Columbus over the weekend). There were fewer than I expected, given that it was 7pm, not raining, and it's supposed to be one of the bigger ones, but definitely there were more people there than usual in that park. Plus, drums/tambourine were constant.

Here's your Benedick and Beatrice.

Interesting quotes from Amy Acker. He really did shoot it in his back yard. And house:

What was the look of the film? How did it all look?
The costume designer went shopping in all of our closets, and she just sort of chose. We are all wearing our own clothes, and then she kind of added little pieces here and there.

Why do you think Joss did this film, and did it so quickly?
I thought it was just because he was super cool. I think his wife and him were going to Italy for a vacation, and then she was kind of like, “Why don’t you just shoot that movie you’ve been wanting to do instead?” So, that’s sort of why it happened now. She’s kind of just really amazing. She built the house that it shot in. You know, she just kind of makes stuff happen. If Kai says something, then she like, actually does it every time.

Wait, Kai designed the house?
Yeah, she’s an architect. She built it and designed it and decorated it and everything. Pretty much you could just film the house without all of us talking in it, and it would be a really great movie.

What kind of style?
I’m not sure if it’s from France or Italy, but everything is old and warm and it’s just the most welcoming place ever.
