@rodmanstreet: Javier Bardem is hot but there's just something about Jeffrey Dean Morgan. The voice. The smile. The propensity to die on screen.

@dcwonderwoman: One of the articles linked said that the surgery was necessary to prevent infection and to reduce the risk of developing cancer. I don't know how valid that explanation is; it's entirely possible that the shelter just felt like he would never get adopted as a hermaphradite.

@EKane - say it wit ya CHEST!: I, too, have heard that going right when they open can mitigate wait times. Either way, though, it's worth it. And be adventurous - no matter what you get, it will be effing fantastic.

I love this song. Not just the way it sounds - beautiful and haunting and foreboding, epic and empty - but the way it captures the love/hate, fevered passion of an abusive relationship, the constant internal back and forth, the promises.

Hot Doug's in Chicago. When it's nice outside, the wait is 1 - 2 hours. When it's vile outside, the wait is still ~1 hour.

@American as Apple Pie: My kitty is okay - he'd managed to get a cut on the tip of his tail, and then he basically chewed it down to the bone and bled all over my apartment. He had it docked, but there was 5 months of regular vet visits and weekly bandage trips and emergency vet visits because he went a bit psychotic…

The most memorable: I have a yowling, bleeding cat in a carrier and am on the way to the vet and the taxi driver goes on and on about a dog he had to put down because he couldn't afford to keep it, tells me to smile, and then proceeds to hit on me. Aggressively.

There I was, skimming through this article and nodding and totally going along with it, and then I saw the picture of the Winchester brothers. Now all I can think about is the pretty that is going to come back to my television this fall and how Sera Gamble is going to handle Season six and... I am so easily…

@morninggloria: This must explain Lady Gaga, no? She just can't find any pants that fit...

Add to Wednesday: the 3rd chapter of LXD comes out on hulu. It's actually pretty sweet.

@Anansi Boy: oh hell yes, that would rock my world! Somewhere in Firefly/Serenity 'verse there's a small world with a small town with a Hellmouth and the crew just happens to land there and they're on the down low and they need a cover so they pretend to be a (high-function but severely dysfunctional ) family and they…

@Annamatopoetry: *nods* Agreed. However, she was most definitely a woman of color. Which Angelina Jolie is most definitely not.

@gargle: Last Airbender. Upcoming Cleopatra movie (Angelina Jolie was cast as the lead). Prince of Persia with Jake Gyllenhaal as the lead.

@a_blackpanther: omg, that is EXACTLY what I thought. I was all, WTF is Madge doing on the set of Who? Haven't they finished filming for the season? OMG, maybe she's in an upcoming episode as a Cyberman Upgrade!

I'm writing in for sesame balls, the ones with red bean paste in them. Not too sweet, not too greasy, and they have vaguely healthy attributes. Oh, and they're absolutely delicious.

@reimoise: ooh, or Vicki, Christina, Barcelona! He's absolutely gorgeous and sexy in that one.

@mkirkland: ... How is writing/casting white characters a central theme? I get how wealth, suburban life, and an obvious sense of privilege and entitlement might be a base for the storyline, but those elements are not exclusive to white people.

Is a token protagonist of color too much to ask for?

This reminds me of "Rose," the first Doctor Who episode of the reboot, when all those mannequins came to life. If they'd used #8, I don't think I would have watched Who at all. Which, you know, would have been a shame.

@whormongr: I read (somewhere) that the Blowfish is in this one...
