I am leaving it, sarameg, but also not watching the link. I am watching Teen Wolf and having a glass of wine

Sophia, I'm sorry, that sounds incredibly upsetting. I would be really upset, too. I hope it all blows over.

So, the Aldis update.

Sigh. False alarm. He never actually spoke to him. WTF!

Basically, T. has been auditioning for roles on Leverage for a while, they keep calling him back, they "really like him," but he hasn't gotten anything yet. So Thursday night, they called him and asked him to come in and be a stand-in at the last minute on Friday for a role that he almost got but didn't...I think? Anyway, it was a big favor, they were ever-so-grateful, blah-blah. He did it, and he was having lunch with the 2nd AD in a big tent with a bunch of actors and crew, and he was sitting near Aldis, and they nodded at each other or something, and he was just fucking with me, because he knows I love him. HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO GET THAT FROM A TEXT AND AN EMAIL THAT SAYS, "IT'S A LONG STORY, CALL ME."???

Sorry for leading you on, folks.

If he does ever get cast in Leverage, he had better put Aldis on the phone. Jeez.

Hey, exchanging nods, not bad.

I managed to rip my purple (gauze, capri) pants by shifting how I was sitting on the sofa. I'm trying to spin it as being Hulk-like.

Yeah, flaming lightsabers is a bad plan...but TOTALLY would sound awesome if I were a teenage boy.

I'm a mid-forties lady, and fighting with flaming lightsabers sounds totally awesome to ME.

You can set it to tweet every post, or you can manually tweet some. Just like you can crosspost tweets with Facebook, etc.

My Tumblr is set up to crosspost everything to FB and Twitter. It's pretty much the only reason there are any FB posts from me. Maybe someday I'll remember to check FB consistently, but I doubt it.

Did you guys know that Cathy Rigby is still playing Peter Pan? [link] Incredible. That image in the header has to be at least 30 years ago. I'm imagining "I won't grow up" in an Elaine Stritch voice. That's worse than Ted Neely playing Jesus into his mid 60s.

amyth, I am shaking my tiny fists at T. He better tranq Aldis and fed ex him to you. And then you send him to me. It'll be like the nail polish box, but hot and geeky.

Uh, kinda drunk. I think I fixed all the typos?

Well, fuck, someone remind me not to post any personal opinions on social media, ever. You'd think I'd have learned that lesson long ago.

One of my friends is receiving death threats from a total stranger on social media for posting her opinion that Guns Are Bad and we shouldn't be selling them willy-nilly. Basically the same opinion I've posted elsewhere. Now another of my "friends" is blasting at me for the same thing. I'm about to throw up. I hate this shit. I should know to keep my mouth shut, all it leads to is wrestling with hateful self-righteous nutjobs. Or condescending assholes who think they need to educate me as to the ways of wild wild world.

I have kinda been Nudging John to Colin in Leverage, and he's seen sincerely eager. And Colin's seemed independently interested--I hadn't actually mentioned it to hi,, but it seems like the perfect set visit just fell through.

I have spent the last way too long (because the Ambien kicked in in the middle, trying to find an app that:

• had a comprehensive database of prescription medications
• could track your prescriptions, including from whom (doctor and pharmacy), when they expire, and your specific instructions.
• have a plain view of all this on a list so when a doctor asks "What you on?" you can show him your device (and he scrolls forever
• had a calendar (optional) to track or remind you when to take what
• it also contains many vitamins, especially the ones doctors prescribe

It is intimidating, so no dinosaurs. Your application has no features. Don't make it look like a Wprd template

Ai yai yai, Zen. The fuck is wrong with people?

Some people, however, are awesome: went to the movies with my cousin and she gave me a bunch of boxes and a ride home! Super nice.

Liese, did you explain why Hiro Protagonist should not be called Hiro and I missed it?

No, I didn't, because I did it in my head and it sounded irrational, so I flaked. Sorry. I think I just have a Stephenson prejudice. It's totally acceptable for a Japanese national of whatever ethnicity to have a Japanese name. I just think he didn't think it through that far, and just liked that it was "Hero."

I'm too zonkered to be more coherent about it at the moment.

I had yay Steph & Tim and Family Flea! And delicious Indian food and mocha chip Graeters! It was so good to see Steph & the Boy again, and I was so happy to meet Casper and Dillo, who were utterly charming and fun to be around. And Flea's DH is fascinating, and we have the same northern Ohio accent which cracks me up. Kat probably has it too.

Thanks for coming out, guys.

The show went okay, rough first set, excellent second one. But the bugger was how difficult emotionally the movie filming was. Did not see that coming.

Anyway, sleep now, another show tomorrow.
