BALLS. Writing is difficult. Thus, I procrastinate. The winter rains have already started here. I've got nothing to look forward to but pouring rain for the next six months. Go Northwest! And yet, people here refuse to use umbrellas, despite the deluge. And they also continue wear sandals long after it has become inappropriate. But if there's an inch of snow on the ground, everything just STOPS. Seriously, one inch.

Thanks Shipper and Silja! I'm actually a stormy weather whore :wink: Woot! How comes, Jouse? Work, family, just fancy a change?... All of the above? :) I want to try somewhere else, and I have a UK citizenship thanks to my brit father. It's all very much still work in progress.... but House-marathon parties, anyone? :balloon:

Here's something random and off-topic. I'm a nanny. I care for two wonderful little boys, who are 4 years old, and 21 mo. old. I work...a LOT. In fact, I'm working right now. I work on Saturdays. I worked Last Saturday. I do lot for the family...including Naps. I put the boys down for naps as needed. Saturday, when I was putting the 4-year-old down for nap, he asked me to sing to him. I asked him What do you want me to sing?" Kid: "Baba O'Reilly.... like from Dr. House." Yes, he's seen the show. Yes, it scared him. And Yes, he knows All the words to Baba O'Reilly. Can anyone name the episode it is from, and who turned it off?

It's in "Control," and Vogler turned it off.

thanks, couldn't remember, and my DVDs are packed. I'm in the middle of moving :-P

QI tapings are a major incentive :wub:

Awwwwwww, 13 Dalmatian puppies live on webcam. They are too cute :wub:

PuppyCam! Live streaming cute 24 hours a day! This is what the world needs. Thank you.

I was just checking the Associated Press feed and saw the two headlines next to each other: Hilton tries to help drunken elephants and Man in India marries dog as atonement Both stories are from India, and yes, the "Hilton" mentioned above is Paris. Is it the equivalent of April Fool's Day in India or something? Or maybe I've accidentally wandered over to theonion.com by mistake?

I would click on the link when they all decide to take a nap. :) This is nice. Now I can pretend like I can have a pet. (Kidding, of course.) OH, one guy just woke up! And went back to sleep. :) Come on, Namaste, you should know by now that drunken elephants is a very worthy cause. One that is overlooked by many, but should not be forgotten. (I don't know what I'm talking about. Blame the coffee, I guess.) Anyway, that's really... odd. To say the least.

According to E! News, Hilton's publicist says the elephant story is completely made up.

oh dammit, and here I was thinking Paris was actually doing something nice for a change.

dang, Barry Bonds got indicted. This is big.
