Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, at least he's home with you, sara. That's better than you wondering and kicking yourself for not visiting enough.
Totally this.

Just back from Inside Man. Chiwetel Ejiofor (I'm trying to type that without checking...dude! Got it right!) has a much better American accent than Clive Owen. No strangled Rs.

Also, this. I kept wondering why they couldn't just let Clive's character be foreign. His accent was no good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ya know?

Of course, I'm now finishing up that Dark Kingdom: The Dragon King, and the accents are hella random.

Literally no reason for him to be from the US. I really liked all the pissed-off New Yorkers in that movie. Especially the Seikh guy.

The Sikh was hilarious -- and I loved the exchange:

"But I bet you can catch a cab."
"That's one of the perks."

At least I think that's what he answered.

Yeah, that was awesome. I loved all the side conversation in that movie -- the stuff that wasn't moving the plot forward.

There was a lot of plot, but there was a lot of side stuff also. The minor characters really popped, and I don't think they detracted from the main narrative or the stars.

Totally.

Also, I didn't know until yesterday that Ace and Gary, the Ambiguously Gay Duo, were voiced by Stephen Colbert and Steve Carrell until yesterday, but now it's really weird listening to them on SNL.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

I never thought I would live to hear Dennis Haysbert call something a steaming bowl of elephant piss.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I liked in the movie as well. And the Sikh moment you mentioned. I have to say I wasn't expecting it and really did laugh.

I hope Mister Kitty eats tonight and that you and he are comforted by the cuddling time, sara.
