Datak is completely fascinating, and his wife (whose name I can never remember) is even better. She's probably my favorite character on the whole show.

OK, shark melon has been achieved for the family BBQ tonight. I just have to figure out how to safely transport it in my parents' van full of moving, banging wheelchair parts.

I have re-installed the upstairs AC -- I needed to make the windowsill "higher" than the lip of the stormwindow, so I acquired a 2x4 cut to inner window-width at Home Despot, which means I can nail-down the plastic extension wings correctly and all that, too, and now the AC doesn't tilt the wrong way so that the water flows out the way it's supposed to....
Home ownership is hard but on a day like this, getting a small thing like AC to work is sheer triumph.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm finding Jaime Murray's characters kind of consistent for the past little while. I think I'd like Stahma more in isolation from her reel.

I'm terrible about recognizing actors in alien drag, apparently. I didn't realize I'd ever seen her in anything else until just now.

She's a bit Melinda Clarke except I enjoy Melinda's characters more. Duplicitous, coy, sexually manipulative. I think I prefer Melinda's streak because she's more sexual and manipulative than sexually manipulative (even as HG Wells, everyone including cast is shipping her on a show with fairly little shipping).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, I took a nap, and was having a dream that was just kind of weird until it turned bad, so now I'm out of sorts. But I did shower, so that's something.
I have decided that Food Network Star is the thing to watch now. And maybe additional ice cream.

So I walk in from the pool to the NPR host calmly announcing that a passenger plane crashed at SFO, and her voice was so...nprish... that it took me a moment to process PLANE CRASH.
Sheesh.
Still hot.

Trust my rage
I was at SFO a week ago and for some reason, that has me freaked out. I heard 2 dead, 61 injured and that the tail of the plane broke off and it flipped over. Apparently, from Twitter, Neil Gaiman was on his way there and found our, also from Twitter, that the plane was being reroute from the crash.

Yeah, that's scary.
