Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Most broadcast TV has switched over to 1080i these days, even if most "smaller" (under 40") TVs don't display it natively.
DCistas - do you know if the Pentagon Row ice rink rents toddler-sized skates? We're trying to figure out a game plan for today, and Pentagon Row is practically across the street from my in-laws house. We can't go anywhere in the car because we don't have a carseat with us (hazard of taking the train).
oh no, drunk friending.
I have no idea! The name situation is megan walker-style, where I knew him with a very specific ethnic name, but he's on facebook with a very generic name.
Is it too soon to buy a wreath for my door? Will it totally dry out and fall apart in a month?
Good lord -- the mystery childhood friend wrote back, and he's "retired" from financial services, and living in Shanghai. Bananas!
Ugh. Sleepless night. I'm exhausted but not sleepy. Today promises to be very long.
I saw some GORGEOUS wreathes on etsy the other day.
I just need the real greens, since my tree is fake. I stick my nose in the wreath!
I'm feeling in very rarified company, tv-tech-wise. We had the space, we had, for a brief window, the disposable income, and there was a sale, so we wound up with the 1080i 47" Samsung LCD, and the home theater speaker-bridge thing that matches. And, even though (blasphmemy!) we don't game, we got a PS3, on Pete's rec, to play blu-ray dvds.
We even got the black glass and "wood" stand that holds the screen up in the air and swivels. It's our room divider between the comfy seating and Outer Mongolia.
We left the artificial wreaths and lighted garland with teh son, since they've been used at the NC house for lo, these many years. We'll do something different for the new house. I doubt we do a tree this year, unless it's wee. Something, though. I have my half-basket of silk ivy for the door, if I can find real holly with berries to tuck in.
Did you read about the screenwriter that said he was tweeting from jail that got busted and actually put in jail because he was apparently just on a work furlough program? Seems Gaiman and Ebert were retweeting him. Assuming it's him, of course. I'm not sure why he thinks he'd have a First Amendment right to freaking tweet from jail. Or why Gawker thinks it has anything to do with A Clockwork Orange.
