Ah, Loki:
Not what I was expecting! Except I do know you, Sara.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Ah, Loki
Trick!
I seriously think the Avengers DVD is going to push me to buy a BluRay player.
Ha! I already did, and that is exactly why. Haven't hooked it up and watched anything yet. Now I'm scared of the dejuddering.

Because books.
My favorite new stress relief is correcting the grammar and word choice of people on TV, out loud, in a really snotty voice. Sad, but it works.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It doesn't look like that to me!
I mean, it did at the start--I hated it and wanted my old TV back, but I love how it looks now, so the only solution is for bon to put in a catheter and hunker down in front of the beast. After a day or two of solid watching, she'll be rewired appropriately.
I mean, I actually went through the blur and judder settings--it has a demo where it's on auto for half the screen and off the other, but once I'd acclimated to it, I couldn't se the difference.
But I'm also the sort who can't tell the difference between flicker rates on monitors, so my eyes are just slutty.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I could skip the catheter and turn motion smoothing off, just spitballing here.

wanted my old TV back
We still have one of your old TVs!
Okay, random question. Sentence diagramming: love it or hate it?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
This is where we talk about crazy house/mortgage stuff, right?
After Katrina, my boss and a couple of friends bought a house. They then took a 2nd mortgage out on one of the friends' houses and paid the just-bought house (hereafter the JBH) off. Now, my boss wants to sell the JBH to one of his employees - but there's a mortgage on it in default. The guy who sold them the JBH in 2006 apparently had a mortgage out on the house, and continued making interest payments for a while. If I read the legal papers right, the guy even refinanced the loan *this year*.
So now my boss (and friends) can't sell the house until they deal with this $120K mortgage that they didn't take out, and they have ten days to pay a certain amount or the house will be foreclosed on. I mean, WTF. They can't figure out how the existing loan didn't come to light when they bought the house originally.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
LOVED IT. It's been awhile so I would need a refresher, but I loved it when we did it in middle school.

Because books.
I don't remember how to properly diagram sentences.
