We watched the first three episodes of White Collar tonight. And then I spent the last hour reading fic.

Yeah, I think I'm hooked. Very, very hooked.

Serenity has apparently declared war on falling leaves. She's currently trying to do back-flips and somersaults in an attempt to eat all those evil yellow and orange leaves that the wind is bringing down on her head.

While barking her head off, of course. Oh, and howling, which - let me tell you - is definitely proof that they weren't lying about her having quite a bit of wolf in her.

Okay, I finally finished season 3 of Battlestar Galactica. As you might expect, I have thoughts. ( Behold! I shall share them with you now! )

Hmmm, was there anything else about Season 3 I wanted to talk about? I can’t even remember.

Oh yeah, I remember: does the series end with Season 4.5, or are there more episodes? I seem to remember the series ending this year, so that would tell me there’s at least another season. IDEK. It’s so confusing. I still don’t know what’s up with having the half seasons either, except that SciFi wants to make more money packaging the DVDs separately. Or something.

I just checked my email and Netflix has informed me that disc 1 of Season 4 ("The Razor" - a miniseries or something?) is not coming until Thursday. I don't know if I can wait that long. Eeeeeeeeee. ::twitches::

Oh, I know what I'm gonna do: I'm gonna read the third Left Behind book, just to spite txvoodoo. Ahahahahahaha. ::cackles maniacally::

Since the LiveJournal Daily Question thing seems to be a bit of a downer, I'll try offering my counterpoint.

Assuming sufficent food, power, can open stuff and hygiene supplies, which store would you rather spend sixty days locked inside of?

I'd choose one of the super-Targets. I know, my first thought was Barnes and Noble, but with said Target, you get room and stuff to exercise in, there -are- books and plus video games and shit.

Please to be looking at the first one for the LOLS.

They carefully ask what religion you are, then send a Roman Catholic chaplain around to everyone.

This does not raise confidence in the hospital, who are supposed to pay attention to details.

I had written down 'None', which I was pretty sure did not indicate 'Please send me a priest'.

Yuletide sign-ups are getting closer and closer to ending, and I'm facing a dilemma. One of my fandoms, a fairly obscure YA sci-fi book that was published in 1990, has yet to be offered by anyone.

Apparently today is the 40th anniversary of the day Sesame Street first aired. That's... hard to believe, to be honest.

I grew up watching Sesame Street during the 80s, both new episodes and reruns from earlier years. My brother and I probably went through at least three different copies of Follow That Bird on VHS (and I freely admit that I not only own it on DVD as well, but I also have this book as well). Seriously, this show pretty much was my childhood.

I remember watching the episode where Mr. Hooper died for the first time, and when everyone finally found out that Snuffy was real and not imaginary, and the Alligator King, and Bert and Ernie in an Egyptian pyramid with dancing pharoahs, and Alistair Cookie and the Monsterpiece Theater, and The Ladybug Picnic, and Super Grover, and the "Put Down the Duckie" special, and Maria and Luis's wedding, and "A Muppet Family Christmas" featuring pretty much all of the Muppets (from Fraggle Rock, The Muppet Show, and Sesame Street), and the day that Jim Hensen died, and... the list goes on and on.

Happy 40th birthday, Sesame Street. Thank you for everything.

If anything, actor Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is NOT a white boy. So why is the astronaut he is playing in 'Planet 51' white as an Irishman at the beach?

Missed opprotunities are sad.

P.S. Just came to me. 'Planet 51' has the hero mistakenly believed to be a horrible monster. A mob chasing a minority? That wouldn't fly in P.C. land.
