i've decided that i want a bird that can learn to talk, and i'll teach it to say "If I ever get out of this cage, I'll eat your eyes out!"

Confessions of a Spoiler Whore, though really, she didn't confess much, and it's not really about her being a spoiler whore. the subtitle ("The pleasures of participatory TV") would have made a better title. and hey! it's nonspoilery!

To read makes my speaking English good.


:::sigh::: i'll try to proofread better.

things that make you pause for a moment and say "what the…?"

The Price Is Right was playing in the lounge as i was getting coffee. Richard, a member of the USMC, has just bid the closest (without going over) on an appliance or furniture or something. Bob Barker, walking him across the stage to the next game, says "Come on up, Richard. Richard the Marine. Richard, I've got something that'll make any marine smile..." Bob was then interrupted by the announcer guy shouting "A new car!" and the audience cheering, but i'm really wondering what Bob would have said if he'd had the chance. did he not know his microphone was on? maybe it'll end up on one of those blooper shows that Dick Clark likes to host.

but can you imagine Bob Barker naked with his marine boy toy?

last night's syndiBuffy was "Ted." while watching, i suddenly realized that Ted's behavior is close to that of my mom's husband, with the whole seemingly the most pleasant and nice man he could be, except secretly to that one person he's a total psycho.

so, anyone want to help me take down a psychotic android?

new eps of Farscape start Friday.

i had the Farscape Best of Season One DVDs last week. we had trouble getting them to work. our DVD player kept saying 'no disc' while we screamed back 'fuck you!' eventually, the little devil-machine let us watch the first disc, with the Premiere ep and "DNA Mad Scientist." good eps. wish i could have seen what was on the other two discs.

in other Farscape news, Sci Fi Channel has scheduled a 23 hour marathon for May 31, beginning at 7am EDT.
