Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I've only seen the most recent ep from this week. Maybe I'll use my spring break to catch up on the past three seasons.

Nature on PBS just attributed the plague of giant pythons in south Florida to snakes on a motherfucking plane. These suckers are huge. They can swim seven miles at a time. They can hold their breath for half an hour.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hello? Timothy Hutton is always sexy.

Ski cross is a ridiculous-looking sport. People are getting tangled in each other in the air!

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

I used to really like Katherine Heigl. But I've lost all love for Izzy, and the less of her the merrier. Never liked Meredith, and George wore thin.

Timothy Hutton is always sexy.

Did you see Alphabet Killer? No sexy in that movie at all.

Hil - I saw the qualifying rounds for ski cross earlier and just can't imagine 4 people going down the course. Snowboard cross was crazy enough. Unfortunately it looks like I missed the final rounds when I went shopping.

At the store the crock pots were on sale. Ended up with a nice 4qt for $20.

Very fed up with Izzy. And I hadn't thought of it, but y'all are right, Burke WOULD'VE been a good foil for McDreamy these past few months. Fighting him all the way about the chief and a promotion (and in more than a whiny "but you can't tell people he's an alcoholic, we have a post-it marriage!", which...WTF.)

On a very separate note, if I wanted to decide to buy a house, anyone got a suggestion about how I would start applying for mortgages? Er.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Start with your bank. They can tell you what paper work you need to gather.

Supposedly, the Russian ice dancers have toned down the offensiveness of their "Aboriginal" routine. I'm kind of skeptical, since I've seen no indication in any interview that they or their coach actually understood why people objected.
