Welcome to Part 1104 of the Soulful Spike Society [/center] Since I was just using it earlier this evening... Actually, a menu wouldn't do you any good around here: we offer such a wide variety of awesome posts, pictures, conversations, and observations there's simply no way to categorize or catalog it all. You'll simply have to dive on in and enjoy the feast. However, we do have a couple of requirements—our version of "no shirt, no shoes, no service," if you will: 1. Read and follow the rules.2. However, this doesn't mean the conversation is limited; instead, if you want to talk about stuff that's verboten on the main board, go here and chat to your heart's content. 3. Don't post spoilers anywhere but here. Seriously. Otherwise, we will cut you. 4. Check out the great reviews and essays on the S3 home page.And that does it. So tuck in a napkin, pull up a chair, and start posting!

Am watching "Merlin" with ASH. Seems like a pretty good show!
Must go to work tomorrow.
Bummer.

We just finished watching the season finale of Fringe. It was... magnificent. The S2 DVD set is available for preorder on Amazon, if anybody besides me is interested, and yes, we went for it. I lent the S1 DVDs to Daria, who only saw half the season because we couldn't tape them after we went to satellite dish; she's very much enjoying them too. Sara, your opener is in very good taste. I'm going to go admire your photos now.

Diane, thank you very much!
My mom liked it too; there was even the perfect place to hang it, where my dad had taken something else down and hadn't put anything there.

Hello all.
Odd day; I spent most of it wrangling with an article on Dollhouse I'm working on, followed by a family graduation party, which is an exercise in awkward, seeing as I LOATHE certain people who always have to be present there and make sure people know they are present and poodle around them. Bad enough at a party; they did the same at my great-aunt's funeral.
Assholes.
Addendum: Grr. Argh.

I like it too. Must remember this. I'm off to get ready for Day 2 of the Garage Sale from Hell. The weather is NOT cooperating and I am a magnet for weirdos. Like the woman who brought a HUGE pile of stuff up to the "checkout" table, then announced that she had no money, and would we be willing to hold the stuff for her indefinitely? She had to talk to her sister about finances, and her sister is a very busy real estate agent who might not get back to her right away, so would I give her my home number so she could call me when she was ready to purchase said items? NO, no, no. This is a garage sale, lady, not freakin' layaway at K-Mart. Our goal is to get rid of our crap in exchange for a small pittance. We will not "hold" things for you in the off chance that your very busy and important sister will come through and cough up the $5-10 for your items. And I'm not giving you my number so you can stalk call me.

Nice new part. I like the opener. Much.
I finally have the missing door to my cabinets and my work guy is coming at 9 to install the the rest of them which means I can finally clean the kitchen junk out of my dining room! Woot!
Will also get the rest of my pictures hung except for the three than need re-framing. I think the end is finally near for my place. Since I loaned so much money to my daughter the new windows, front door, bathtub and bathroom tops will have to wait, but what I have is still serviceable.
It's all a little unreal.

Bad enough at a party; they did the same at my great-aunt's funeral. Assholes. Addendum: Grr. Argh. First: Must agree with Anne - poodling is a fantastic word. I must steal it! Second: Don't let the real Evil overpower the fun EVUULLL that is you. Don't give them the power to ruin your fun. They are miserable, you aren't. Some tricks I've used in these situation: -------- Be a "Desmond Morris" type observer, observing "wild life" in its "natural habitat." Observe "the effects of long term atrophy of the brain" or some such thing. Seriously though, you can try taking a really clinical, objective eye to the situation. --------- Tell yourself you are an undercover agent at the event. You must behave as if you fit in, so you aren't discovered - but you are really there to gather as much information as you can about what these folks are like. --------- Use your interactions for your writing . . . turn the grrr-argh experience into something useful by sort of . . . stepping outside it. Observe your reactions and words with an objective eye, as well as the actions and words of others. Plan to write a short summary of your experience later. Well, anyhow - I join your family in saying: Congrats on your graduation!

Definitely no, no, and no were the correct answers.
