new small photo of the Scooby gang (the original, though Buffy's in this one too) sans Scooby.
Marc Blucas, looking good.
yummy Riley.
did anyone catch Alyson Hannigan on Politically Incorrect last night? she's so cute, and has the best facial expressions. there were waaaaay too many commercial breaks, she didn't get to say a whole lot, and she was seated next to a guy who said something like 'If you hit a woman and she comes back, it means she likes it.'

he also said that whores don't get paid for sex. and he was wearing an ugly-assed leprechaun costume.

i don't know who the guy was, but he fancied himself as an archbishop, though i gathered from the other members of the panel that he is actually a pimp. one who likes to hit his whores, apparently. of course, he doesn't think whores get paid, so i'm guessing that they're not giving him any money. dumb ass. maybe the whores are saving up to get out of the country once they've all jumped him and pounded his ass into the pavement.

anyway, poor Alyson had to sit there next to him, dumstruck by some of the things he said. i think i'd have gone over to sit on the other couch.
let's say that someone has offered to give me a ticket to anywhere that Southwest flies. i've not flown before (always been terrified of the idea), and i'm considering accepting the ticket. i'd have to use it by March 1, and i'd only be able to stay, at most, for the day, wherever i went. where should i go?

Gamespot is on the Websense filtered pages list. however, Gamespot UK is not. makes sense, in a "We're stupid dumb-asses" kind of way, just as blocking a PC game information site makes sense (some people can read about murder and death and The Evil That (Hu)Men Do and think things like "I'm ashamed for being human." for me, things like discovering that someone thinks Gamespot needs to be blocked causes me to feel shame at being part of this species. i want to be a lemur. they don't do stupid things like this)

anyway, i was trying to link to the article about EA's announcement of The Sims: Vacation.

i should have said 'liquor' for Lent.

my roommate has been spending nearly all of his available time with The Guy. on Monday, he told me that we, just he and i, would hang out Tuesday night (i was even going to postpone my Buffy viewage). he stood me up. when he finally showed up, it was four hours later, and he had The Guy with him. so, after much gnashing of teeth by both of us, he agreed to a Wednesday night him-and-me thing.

last night, he again showed up four hours late. he'd been playing chauffeur for The Guy. after more gnashing of teeth, and over a litre of rum, we attempted to work things out by agreeing that he's an asshole and i'm a whiney little bitch. we also discussed his budding relationship with The Guy, why i think it's a bad idea, and how he's beginning to see the psychotic episodes and stalkeresque obsessive behavior that i warned him about.

progress.

after that, my memory of the conversation gets fuzzy. i remember going to bed. i remember the boyfriend (mine) coming home. i remember that he had very cold feet. i also remember The Roommate saying we'd hang out tonight (the boyfriend has to work), but i don't think i'm going to wait for that.

i've decided that my Lent sacrifices will be compassion, optimism, and hope.
I don't think we're bad people, at least for my character. I don't think I'm a bad person.

joy is having a boyfriend who calls from work at a few minutes after 8pm on a Tuesday and asks "You did tape Buffy tonight, right?" followed by a call from your sister who asks sadly, "Is there no new Buffy next week?"

Scott Bakula will reunite with longtime friend and former Quantum Leap co-star Dean Stockwell in an episode of Enterprise. yippee! no word on whether his character will be a hologram that only Archer can see.
Transformers season one DVD is coming in late April! yippee!

ST:TNG season two in early May.
Mike had a few friends over last night. sometime after i went to bed, one of them downloaded and installed one of those search-the-internet-for-porn programs onto my computer (even worse, the guy is straight. what the hell would i want straight porn on my computer for?). what kind of asshole downloads and installs programs onto another person's computer without permission? i don't want his greasy, Licks-His-Fingers-After-Eating hands on my computer, and really, i don't even want his lazy, no-job-having, eats-my-food, sleeps-and-SWEATS-on-my-couch ass in the apartment. baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!

anyone ever watch the top half of the TVGuide channel? you know the 90 Sec. Life Stories they do? the Mark Wahlberg bio cracks me up (and it's conveniently available for viewing here).
WTF? the WB is moving Glory Days into Angel's timeslot next month and we'll have no new eps for five weeks? and no Angel tonight? what the hell is wrong with this world? why the frak are they showing two episodes of the atrocious 7th Heaven (if ever there was a show that needed a natural disaster to wipe out the entire cast and crew, this is the one)?

bah!
from Dark Horizons:

the upcoming uncut edition of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker has a PG-13 rating.

a DVD box set of My So-Called Life is in the works. they want pre-orders.

"The IMDb has learned of Burt Reynolds' character in an upcoming episode [of X-files] - he's playing God." ugh. glad i won't be watching.
A mix of vampire and marauding, furry lizard, the Chupacabra has become one of the most common beasts studied under the general heading of cryptozoology… Eyewitness accounts during a rash of alleged attacks in 1995, many in Puerto Rico, described the animal as having a "reptilian body, oval head, bulging red eyes, fanged teeth and long, darting tongue," according to a report at the time in the daily San Juan Star.

That same description has weathered decades of scrutiny. First appearing in the late 1960s, alleged Chupacabra attacks picked up markedly in the mid-'90s.

"It's sort of like Jennifer Lopez…"
