Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

Because the UK one was a whole different kettle of fish.

Yeah, I haven't finished watching the UK one, but that was my understanding. Didn't mean to besmirch that one.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

What Debet said. This is the end of the season he pitched to NBC. Why they still bought the series is beyond me. Apparently we are to interpret the end of Awake that he was adjusting his view of the Red and Green worlds so that both could be thought of as "fictional" since the Red world was compromised by the world dissolving. He didn't want to deal with neither world not being real, so he created this compromised world with both in it.

I don't know what season two would have been like. I suppose that the big conspiracy would still need to be unraveled.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

not to contribute to anyone's habit, but I just heard that "Scandal" is available on hulu.

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

Remember that brand-new HVAC system I had installed a couple months ago? Today, my air conditioner quit working. Came home from hot sweaty errand running to discover the house is 74degF and climbing, despite that the system insists itself is on and working. HVAC dude will be here, grudgingly, in an hour. Please send me a little ~ma that he'll be able to fix it immediately.

Unrelatedly, when did folder take over and become a proper synonym for directory?

In my own world, when I realized my boss does not know what a "directory" is unless she's holding a phone book.

I'm now glad that I decided not to watch Awake after the premiere episode. I had a feeling I wasn't going to enjoy the rest as much as I did that one.

Art Crawl!!!

If only they could have gone in the science fiction direction with Awake.

Indeed. Oh well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just bought a dress for one of the two wedding celebrations I have next month. I'm not totally sold on it, but it was on sale, and I can always bring it back. I wish I could tell how fancy the one will be and how casual the other will be!

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

I'm too far behind on too many shows. I just finished a Supernatural mini-marathon to finish the season, but now I need to watch episodes in the order that they expire. It may be a few weeks before I get to the end of Awake.

My twitter feed has been amusing this afternoon with Seamus and Juliana Dever livetweeting the Eurovision finals.
