It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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 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?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Ah ha ha! Of course he got here right after I posted. Good one.

Tom, that's awesome! You should set up an etsy shop--we would definitely buy your photos.

I love the one in the subway station with the stealth pug in the backpack. LOVE. I would buy the hell out of that. (I don't know how one buys the hell out of something, but I would do it, by god.)

Just like buying it, but with gusto?
