Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

imdb makes Shades of Grey to be the lowest-rated episode ever, on 3.4. Sub Rosa is right behind it with 5.0.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Shades of Gray gets a break from me because it was a result of a writers' strike. There is no excuse for Sub Rosa.

Our wings are not tired.

I don't even remember Shades of Grey, but Sub Rosa is unforgettable, unfortunately. The trailer total awesome.

Have quite a few favorite TNG episodes, but Inner Light always gets to sappy me.

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

Looking up Shades of Grey to see if I remember it (I do not), I learned that there's a Joy of Painting episode called "Shades of Grey". Kinda want to watch that now.

My mom and I got in the habit at one point of watching the local news and then switching over to ST:TNG (I think this was when it was bouncing around on different affiliates so it was on at odd times) and watching the last half only, so I might not know the beginnings of quite a few episodes. Didn't really hinder my enjoyment of them at the time.

Dang, my very not ergonomic set up here is noticeably uncomfortable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That was because of a colorblind fan, right? Gotta love Bob Ross.

In Rental House Problems news, the phone tech who came out yesterday managed to splice a drop line in from somewhere, so we fed it in through a window and have internet!

Then the plumber came about the basement leaking and cut open a wall in the kitchen and pulled out wet insulation and says the cast-iron stack leading to the 2nd floor (and only shower) is leaking and the owner needs to fix it for several thousand dollars and two days with no water to the second floor.

I am SO GLAD we don't own this rental house, but I am starting to be rather sorry we're even renting it. Also the kitchen has the least functional layout of any kitchen I have ever used in my life.

Huh. The life insurance coverage my employer provides is going from 3x my salary to about 1 because of the salary to hourly transition. Weird.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Work was dull, but the rest of the day's been a bit of a mess. From realizing on the drive to work that I had nicked myself while shaving my legs and had blood splotches on my light-colored chinos, to dealing with Mr. S dribbling out the water he just drank on me and on himself.
