"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Whoa, Samantha Wright would make a great superhero.

Maybe Carrie Kelly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hate to reveal my cultural ignorance, but live feeds of what? Big Brother?

Yes. You can always see into the house, either by paying for a 24/7 online subscription, or seeing nighttime hours on Showtime.

Just back from the grocery store, where I bought ALL THE FRUIT: bananas, apples, pears, grapes, avocados, figs, and apriums (in addition to the white peaches I bought at the farmer's market yesterday)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

So I dreamt that I was on Big Brother, along with Scrappy, Liese, maybe some other people I already know? ...

Are you SURE it was a dream? writing from alternate Big Brother Dimension

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I swear, I never knew table tennis was an Olympic sport.

Is Frisbee an Olympic sport now too?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I would watch the hell out of Olympic Ultimate Frisbee.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

aurelia, what did you think of the last scene of Awake?

I was so sucked into Jason Isaacs performance that it just felt beautiful and not at all cliched. As soon as he stepped out of the shrink's office into the bedroom I thought, "OMG, he's going to wake up before the accident ever happened!" which turns out to be a lot more positive way to think about it than, "WTF? It was all a dream?!" And I find the Lynchian aspects to be utterly delightful. How could you not love Wilmer Valderrama in a penguin suit ? And BD Wong and Cherry Jones arguing about which one is real ? I love it.

Ooh, I like that interpretation. I had the WTF reaction and just didn't know what to do with it, especially as I had enjoyed it so much up until then (especially the parts you mention. I mean, really, every show needs more penguins and/or penguin suits, right?

Eta: Let's start lobbying the IOC, Zen! How hard can it be to get a sport added?

Argh -- this guy said he could "leave now" to come buy my old computer like an hour ago! I want to dry my hair! But don't think I would hear the door, so I keep putting it off.
