Buffistas

Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Consuela, that sounds truly awful. I missed a week of work once, years ago, because of vertigo after I hit my head due to a seizure. I pretty much tried not to move for five days. I hope you feel better soon!

That was the time I had my most ridic trip to the ER. The intern treating me asked me to take a pregnancy test after they had already given me a C-T scan, because he had forgotten to before, and he didn't want to "get in trouble" with the attending who was supervising him. I was like, "But you already x-rayed me! The radiation ship has already sailed! Plus I'm on my period RIGHT THIS MINUTE. Also, I throw up every time I walk." But he wouldn't let me go home until I peed in a cup. @@

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm sorry about the vertigo and nausea, Consuela.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

'Suela, that sounds awful. I'm glad you got some alleviation, and that it's soon gone, with treatment.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Why has no one told me to watch Sons of Anarchy? Been marathoning and damn. Only in the second season so far.

I loved it. I'm pretty stoic when it comes to fictional violence, but I had to quit watching in S3. Perhaps I overinvest in fictional characters. At least in S1, SoA was Shakespearean in scope--S2, it was biblical. I wanted every actor to have an Emmy.

Because books.

Charlie Hunnam is SO DELICIOUS.

I tell you what, you get Hunnam all longer-haired and whiskered-up and stand him next to Travis Fimmel from Vikings--boys could be brothers. Out of context, I get them confused.

And speaking of Vikings, did we know Katheryn Winnick, who plays Lagertha, is a black belt in both Tae Kwon Do and Karate, and she owns--or did at one time--several Tae Kwon Do schools in Toronto? For all the scrummy mens in Vikings, my takeaway is still, yum, Lagertha.

Oh, you bet. They look like brothers when they're both bearded. And I find them both very yummy.

I didn't know that about Katheryn Winnick! I like her so much, but I feel like I haven't seen her before.

When I looked for her on IMDB, I found out she's been on Bones--recurring, apparently, and House, and a lot of tv. She looks quite different, soft, and an entirely different sort of feminine, in modern dress and makeup. She's gorgeous, no matter what. But Lagertha...I like her best.
