Even after all this time, that line creeps me out.
Anyway. It seemed appropriate since it seems that Talis and I are becoming the same person. Witness:
* I don't know what happened to the doggie shampoo after the move, so when Talis had a bath yesterday, I had to use my Herbal Essences. He smells really good though! (Also, he doesn't like my bathroom anymore, as it is now the scene of his ignominous defeat.)
* He refuses to eat what's in his doggie bowl unless it smells just like what I have, and I make a show of putting whatever's on my plate into his. (The fact that he eats "people" food is one of the few things that is not my fault, but my mother's. I suppose it's a small price to pay for the good behavior she did instill in him. It gets to be a pain, though, particularly because he's SO PICKY AND SPOILED that he won't eat anything more than two days old. Even barbecue chicken!)
* I was tired midday yesterday (I was working from home), and since it was right in my office where the heater was turned on, I lay on his big, round doggie bed for a small nap.
In other news...
I am now vindicated for every time I have had to defend Newsies (one of my very favorite movies EVAR) against some naysayer. Joss Whedon is a self-declared fan. I knew there had to be a reason to like him other than for BtVS and Firefly. :))
Okay, I haven't watched Smallville in like three years, but Jade told me about the Christmas episode and OMG I SO HAVE TO WATCH THAT. I just have to find out when it airs. But again -- vindicated for my crazy ship ideas!! Well, not so crazy, as it turns out. HA. Anyway, re: the ep, there are even PICTURES. I will post if anyone wants to see, but otherwise I'm taking the lazy way out.
And now, for a Very Serious Question: If you were the star of your own television show, what would you want as your opening theme song? And what's your show about? Is it a half-hour comedy or a series drama or what?

American Psycho is ... well, I'll put it this way: If that's all a person knows of CB, I wouldn't blame them for being creeped out instead of squeeful.

Date: 2005-11-16 10:17 pm (UTC)As for my show? It would be based at an all-girls school - half to break the myth about them and half to show what they're really like. I can't decide whether the main characters would be students or teachers though. Either way it would be a close knit group of friends with utterly contrasting personalities cus I'm a sap for the whole gang of friends mentality. It would be hour long episodes and be very episode based - no over-the-series plot. A show that you could pick up or drop at any point and use as a means of escapism for 45 minutes. And very much a comedy - noo end-of-episode montages with a voice over laying out the moral of the episode. My show is limited to three epiphanies a series.

Date: 2005-11-16 10:39 pm (UTC)By Massive Attack, right? I do love that music, and wondered why they didn't use it in the opening credits. I didn't realize they used a different one for the show overseas -- why? That is so bizarre.
Hope your trip has been awesome so far!!

Date: 2005-11-16 10:56 pm (UTC)1) The song is "Teardrop" by Massive Attack, and is used in both the opening and closing credits, but each features different parts of the song. So the UK/Australia/etc. ones just has that part in the opening credits instead.
2) "Teardrop" is most certainly the US opening credits song. However, the closing credits is possibly by a group called Portishead.
#1 does not explain why it'd be different from region to region, but there wasn't a whole lot of support for #2, and the most authoritative voice on this thread (http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?showtopic=3127754&st=165) is in support of #1. So yeah. Oddness.
Sure! I'll send you my number. :D
