phosfate: Ouroboros painting closeup (frankblack)

this is spinal snap!

Woke up this morning to laundry room floor with a quarter-inch or so more water on it than I generally prefer. Cleared space. Re-sorted laundry. Hoping to find a cause at some point. Also hope rain will stop so I can take soaking braided rug outside to dry, or at least decompose in the outdoors.

Car has thrown shoe. More precisely, thrown an axle boot. I have no idea what that is, but it is being fixed, along with the dead headlamp. I only took it in for an oil change. God thinks he's funny.

Watched most of Millennium Season 2 over the weekend. That, my friends, is some damn good TV. You get Charles Nelson Reilly as José Chung vs. a cult that's nothing like Scientology, Darren McGavin as Frank Black's dad, Mary Magdalene in junior high, assorted demons and devils, an angel or two, flesh-eating bacteria, the earwormiest pop music accompanying wonderful torture and murders, and a really crappy painting by Hitler. Best Buy's got it for $19.99 right now, and it's well worth having. (The only disappointment is the godawful extras and commentaries. A Morgan and Wong show, but no Morgans or Wong at the party, not that one can blame them.)

Made Tommy a strange hat, and finished her Comet the Wonder Horse sweater. Alas, last week I heard the dreaded Obitsu Snap!, and had to send off for a new part to fix her. She keeps giving me the whole "Oh God...I can't feel my legs..." thing, then acts all pissy when I point out her lack of a nervous system. Disassembling her and doing a spinal transplant should be fun. For me at least.

Wouldn't that be marvelous?

I imagine Darin Morgan watching the South Park $cientology episode and shrieking, "Goddammit! I wanted to do that!" at his TV.

I'm putting off the last disc for a few days. The first time I saw the last episode, I was traumatized and weepy for two weeks. (As opposed to, say, That Episode of Beauty and the Beast, which made me snicker inappropriately during the crucial scene.)

Aw, com'n. Who didn't laugh his or her ass off during that scene? Oh, right. Serious fangirls for whom this was IMPORTANT. I don't think I'll ever tire of mocking B&B fans

That, and the rose sex.

Joss Whedon is once again my hero for picking Diana as one of his top 25 TV characters.

Linoleum!

"Beauty and the Beast" Diana? I liked her!

At this moment we can't do anything over a medium load in our washer or it leaks. Pain in the butt.

When my car went in for its last inspection, I had to have some crazy thing like an axel boot replaced for like, $200. Money we could have used on our Canadian trip.

Hey, I was 13-14 at the time!

Uh...which scene are we talking about?
