Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

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

Happy birthday, Ginger!

For those interested in how the costume turned out, here's Ghoulia.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Happy Birthday Ginger!

Fuck the fairy!

Can't really say better than that.

Daniel, fight the insurance wargs!

Amy, clothes are good. And magic earrings. Earrings make everything work!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I don't have personal experience, Nora, but Clark Howard recommends Car Warehouse [link] in the UK. He says you can get a phone for a month for about $20, with calling to the U.S. under 10 cents a minute.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

But Prime is bound to raise their price soon, dontcha think?

Yes. They will raise their price, incur a large customer outcry, and lower it again.

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

I'm assuming Prime is just streaming, right? Because then I wouldn't have done business with them anyway, even if I didn't have my silly Amazon embargo.

Ha. I just got someone to step off slamming Angel S2. It totally doesn't belong on a list of top 10 worst seasons of SFF TV.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Nora, my droid would not work in the UK so I ended up renting a phone from verizon. Your carrier should be able to let you know. A US charger with an adaptor worked fine though.

Did you buy a UK SIM, sj?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

ita, no because I was told it wouldn't work on my phone. I wanted to be able to make calls in the UK and to home. So, renting seemed like a good idea. It was $19.95 plus $1 a minute. So, I used it sparingly.

Thrive to spite them

Amazon did add a bunch of streaming content but it's still way behind Netflix.

It's not terribly user friendly to go searching for things. There's no way to search alphabetical within a category and show seasons aren't grouped together.
