Jason and I watched Juwanna Mann last night. Miguel A. Nuñez, Jr. has some suprisingly womanly-shaped legs. Whodda thunk it?

Sometimes, when you first hear of something, you just groan and roll your eyes. Then, months or years later, something makes you think of it again, you're dumbstruck at how anyone could think it was a good idea.

So now I ask, what the fruk were they thinking when they decided to give Emeril a sit-com?

Saturday night, I discovered that there's a relatively new Asian food place in Tulsa, in the neighborhood I moved out of two years ago. That alone would be enough to make me a happy Terrence, but this one delivers! Hooray! I no longer need to leave the house when I want lo mein. The place, by the way, is called "Asian Food Delivery." Bless their simplicity. We don't need another Golden/Jade/Happy Dragon/Lotus Palace.

Also Saturday night, while leaving the Asian Food Delivery place (had to get a menu), I steppped off of the curb and halfway into a hole in the parking lot. Thusly, I twisted my ankle rather viciously.

For some reason, whenever I'm in a lot of physical pain, I laugh. Jason always thinks it's funny whenever I bonk my noggin on the cupboard door or knock my shin against something. My minor injuries amuse him. So, as I was hopping around the parking lot outside of Asian Food Delivery, laughing uncontrollably, Jason started laughing too. I tried to shout "Quit laughing at me, you @%&$!," but it just made him laugh more.

After the laugh fest subsides, I ended up couch-bound at home with an ankle swollen to twice its normal size and a boyfriend who kept giggling at me all night long. I did, however, also have some General Tsao's chicken.

I also had a copy of the Ethan Hawk Hamlet on DVD, which I'd never seen before. I don't think I've ever winced so much during any performance of any of Shakespeare's work. I mean, it was still "Hamlet," so the story and the lines made me happy, and updated setting was interesting, but some of the people who appeared in that film should not be doing Shakespeare. Ever. I'm not sad that I watched it, nor do I think it was a waste of time, but I kind of wish I'd gone with Henry V.

aarrhhh! for the first time, my job function here at TV Snide required me to see Buffy listings, and one of them had a description for next week's episode with a HUGE SPOILER in it! I may as well not even watch next week. I already know what's going to happen. bastard!

Tulsa Army Recruitment highest in the U.S.

Recruiters credit a surge in patriotism along with the benefits package the military offers as the reason for the increase.


I think they're discounting the effect of a sour economy on recruitment.

Mystery of the Six Feet Tall Red Penguin solved!

It turns out that the management of the apartment complex in which I live isn't as freaky as I thought. The penguin is part of some fundraiser thing. The money raised was (is?) to help build a new penguin habitat at the Tulsa Zoo.


On the matter of penguins, have you been to Penguin Place lately?

this is a strange report about Missing Penguins Found. I'm guessing they aren't talking about real penguins. It's weird though, because I went home for lunch yesterday and there was a six-feet-tall red penguin in front my apartment complex. I thought it was just more weirdness on the part of the Apartment management, but now I'm not so sure.

a couple of election hoorays:

Oklahoma Bans Cockfighting. See, we're not completely redneck.

Henry defeats Largent. I found out yesterday that Largent lives in the neighborhood behind my apartment. I'm gonna drive by everyday, point and channel Nelson. "Ha ha!"

How great was Buffy last night? Fun, with some darkness. How's that for Year One?

Buffy + Rocket Launcher = Comedy Gold. Who knew she kept the thing?

Hooray for Xander and Spike working together. Hooray for Spike getting out of the basement. Hooray for Spike all around!

hey, this isn't the Starz i get with my cable.

FOX's 'Firefly' Keeps the Lights On, includes a tasty photo of tasty Jayne. Tasty.

In other Firefly news, I'm starting to like Spacewhore Inara. I've been indifferent about her, but it feels like the actress is beginning to loosen up and fit into the character. Yay her!

In other Whedon news, I'm going into tomorrow night's Buffy completely blind. I didn't watch the rerun last week, so I didn't get to see the what's happening this week. I'm kind of excited.

Tomorrow is election day. Vote for me for every possible office. Write my name in. Make me your Overlord! or stay home, 'cause we don't want you interacting with the world if you're not voting for me.

As serious as I am about the above (and I am. Vote for me), if you're eligible to vote in Oklahoma, please, for the love of Foghorn Leghorn, vote to ban cockfighting in this state. I'm all for barbarism and gore, but cockfighting is horribly cruel, and those who participate and promote such events should be forced into rings or pits to fight to the death with razor blades.

(And remember, vote Terrence for every office! I promise to rule with an iron fist, oppressing everyone equally)

The SCI FI Channel announced that it has signed a two-picture film deal with genre favorite Bruce Campbell.

What
lesser-known Simpsons character are you?

Brought to you by the good folks at sacwriters.com.

seriously, wow! Wesley, with a lot of Grrr! thrown in.

Some Angel season 4 cast photos. There are some good ones of Wesley. It has struck me again that it's weird (in a "Wow!" way) to compare current Wesley with his first appearance, which is fresh in my mind because FX showed "Bad Girls" last night. Again, wow!

I'm not going to link to the article because I don't want to tempt anyone with spoilers, so I'll just summarize the now-no-longer-a-spoiler-because-it's-not-going-to-happen-after-all.

Negotiations fell through between 20th Century Fox and a particular actor who was to have a role on Buffy this season. I'm very sad about this, as I was looking forward to it. I'm not going to reveal who The Actor is in the hope that things will work out, but if not, I'll mention it again at the end of the season.

The now-no-longer-a-spoiler-because-it's-not-going-to-happen-after-all was one of the last two spoilers of which I had knowledge (trying hard to stay spoiler-free!), but the article I mentioned above contained another minor spoiler, so I'm still at two. Anyone who doesn't mind spoilers and wants to read the article can email me.

you need a cute kitty mousepad.

Lesbian Kung Fu Kitties.

ho hum, been hunting for houses. we have few non-negotiable criteria for potential new residences. 1) Cannot be cramped. 2) Must permit small indoor pets. 3) Minimum of 2 baths.

you'd think it'd be fairly easy to find something that matched, especially in a market with occupancy at an 8 year low, but nope, nothing out there yet.


daily innanities should return soon.

hooray for Friday. Friday is a good day.

but not as good as next Friday. next Friday is good in the way that people will be giving me gifts and buying lunch and dinner for me.

won't you be one of those people who'll buy me something? pleeease buy me something! i like gifts, and I like people who buy me gifts! really, i do. i'll stop talking bad about you behind your back, i'll stop selling your email address to spammers, i'll stop calling members of your family at 3 a.m. and hanging up on them, and i promise that i'll stop pretending to be you when i send threatening email to members of Congress and the President. scout's honor.
