Julie Andrews looks so young.  It's frankly kind of obnoxious.  Even the somewhat dreamy Craig Ferguson looks old next to her.

"I guess you come every evening and I don't..." - Julie Andrews to Craig Ferguson.   I imagine he doesn't, dreamy though he is.  Maybe it's because I've lost faith in the male libido.  I just haven't seen any proof it exists ( Read more... )

While Zip and I were watching Enchanted at Becker's, I couldn't shake the feeling that I recognized the actress who played McDreamy's original love interest.  Also, I hated her on sight for apparently no good reason.  It turns out I was right.  That character is played by Idina Menzel, the same actress who plays uber-bitch Maureen from Rent, whom I ( Read more... )

My more interesting half visited this weekend.  It was fantastic - except for the bit where I wound up with Ubuntu that hates my wireless card on a new (and utterly empty) hard drive.  On the plus side, I've been promised that XP (the man) will be getting me a copy of XP (the operating system) quite soon.  Until then, my only internet access will ( Read more... )

I'm back from West Virginia, which was pretty much how I expected it would be.  I'm sure I'll regale you all with my stories at some point.  They're all better in person, I think.  With the exception of Ben, who sprained his ankle and stretched his tendons badly enough to need a cast and crutches, we're all pretty much unscathed (at least ( Read more... )

Enjoy a hilarious rant about everybody's (least?) favorite piece of classical music.

Words can't express my amusement and disdain for the ideals represented by these quizzes - the women's at any rate. I wouldn't mind living by the men's standards. Then again, I also wouldn't mind being noted 19th century gentleman thief Arsene Lupin or a character from Wodehouse or Chesterton, so I don't think my opinions are sensible enough to ( Read more... )

but this is taking things a wee bit too far in the absurdity direction.

Speaking of the absurdity direction, I have the most ridiculously severe sunburn ever, which is what I get for not wearing sunscreen and sitting in the sun for five hours in shorts and a tank top to watch the Iron Pigs win in the bottom of the tenth with a walk-off home run.  I ( Read more... )

Has anyone here been salmoned? I've been salmoned twice, and I feel weird for saying it, but it's a lot of fun. For those who aren't in the know, being "salmoned" is a relatively recent phenomenon. There's some group of crazies who decided to create a bot that picks up AIM screen names from people who've recently updated their LJ. It then ( Read more... )

( I swiped a quiz from Julie! )

Loneliness is always worse when I have someone to miss.  Oh well.  That's the price I pay for falling for an older guy who lives in south Jersey.  I knew what I was getting into.  Speaking of the devil, last weekend was a lot of fun.  Nobody hated him, nobody died, the Beckers managed to fix their screen door.  In fact, he was so universally well- ( Read more... )
