And save me from my real life.

Didn't Tim Minear (or David Greenwalt?) explicitly say in an interview that Fred was included in Connor's birth scene to fill out the role of the Virgin Mary? If so, can someone link the interview? Who?
How else is Connor's birth scene like the birth of Christ?
Why is Connor so fucked up?
What are the shower facilities like on Serenity?

Why does semagic close itself automagically so often?
Where on semagic does it tell people's birthdays?
Do you have to have PhotoShop to make cool graphics?
Isn't PhotoShop expensive? Did you all dl it? Isn't that illegal? Does that bother you?

Life
When I interrogated the mirror this morning I found that my hair had built a large but well fortified battlement atop my head, intent on defeating that mighty insurgent, the comb. But HAHAHAHA! The comb played the villainous hair for a fool, foiling its nefarious scheme of mischief and mayhem by not aproaching, instead retreating to the eternal peace of its crowded kingdom, the drawer. Wherefore the miscreant hair reared it's ugly split ends, as in a banner of victory, mocking the cowardly comb with wild abandon and occasional snarling.

Meanwhile, my oft treacherous jeans took the opportunity to sway the allegiance of my much beloved shirt, a shirt which I have lovingly attended with the tender ministrations of a friend and ally, the kind of ally who knows you must be kind to anything you put against your boobs. But alas, that sneaking and insideous zipper, so intent on degenercy and disgrace that it descends, drops, falls, without the least provocation, and despite my better efforts to raise it back up into the light, to Eden and to heaven and the proximity of my naval with a safety pin, that zipper connived with its foul intent to disrobe me by stealing away yet another buttor from my beloved shirt. It became, if you will, a turn-shirt, exposing my vulnerable flesh to the wanton eye.

And then, what should happen but the coffee maker, spying the way my hair had taken to with my scalp, and the way my abdomen was bared of all defenses, judged me but a weak accomplice at best, and issued the poorest, most watery of coffee... an underhanded move--not out and out villainy (decaf) but still, a blow, a crippling blow indeed.

[Poll #704339]

OMG NO I REALLY, REALLY NEED TO KNOW RIGHT NOW:

Anything going on with you? Fic bits you want to share? Stories? Jokes? Adventures in clothing, coffee, and hair? Thoughts about wearing hardware store shirts with other people's names on them? Odes to the dodo bird? Your favorite quote? Words you keep meaning to start using, but don't? Phrases? What you did last summer? How many licks it takes? The meaning of life?

I demand from each of you either one thing very clever, be it prose or verse, original or repeated -- or two things moderately clever -- or three things very dull indeed. And I engage to laugh heartily at them all.

Sandwiches? Probably the same as everywhere in terms of delis. Lots of expensive sandwiches available and I love Pret which I think is British, so you've probably had that!

Yeah, I think I'm too in LJ head to get into myspace. I kept asking people what the point was. They looked at me like I was from Mars (which I am but that's not the point!). I think it will be good for touring - meeting people and finding places to play and co-billers, etc. But for blogging? None of us use it for that. There's no point.

And add me (see? I almost said friend me when it's not the same!) and I'll add you back! Email if you can't find me.

Yeah, the sandwiches are nothing special, but I love how you can buy them pre-made like a bag of chips. And I love Pret. In England, even Tesco's had sandwiches.

EXACTLY, OMG, WHAT IS THE POINT OF MY SPACE?? Though I kinda get it as a musician. It's a great way to advertize.

Ok!

I like Sbux tea. It's Tazo. I'm sad you don't like Tazo. You know what's good tea? The Republic of Tea. So good!

I love Tazo Passion tea. Very yummy. And iced, it kicks ASS. I strongly recommend this tea. My main complaint is Tazo Chai. It's just not strong enough.

We have Republic of Tea at office. I order it. It's hilarious. We have probably 20 different types - green, white, red, black. They have a new line of teas designed to 'fix' things. I ordered the sore throat one because 'tis the season and the stomach one because that comes up at work. Then I jokingly said to my co-worker, 'we should get the PMS tea.' And she said, seriously, 'well, if you think it will help.'

D'oh. LMAO.

Totally got that tea. Tasty.

I've had PMS tea! I don't know if it was Republic of Tea tea though. I tried it once and didn't notice it helping; I wish I would remember when I'm having it to try it again. All I can think of when I'm having PMS is pain and angst!

And yeah, I like strong tea. I tend to leave the bags in until it's almost bitter, I like it so strong.

And...I think I lost your email address. I got a new account since I last emailed you...would you mind emailing me your My Space name? I'm thekorapersonality@hotmail.com.
