Chicago: They paved a fetid swamp/and put up a parking lot

lol sorry Jenny - gonna be in Chicago next week, so I've been checking this thread

Its funny because when the show was originally airing I used to really hate Q too, would always turn off his episodes. But at some point I came across a rerun of a few of his episodes and really got into the idea of his character.

Dan, what's your FB friend A1fr3d0's story? I was surprised to to see him comment on my friend Patrick's status after he comment on yours.

I figured.

Ooo if the forecast holds true (which is pretty much not going to happen), the weather will be really nice for most of your visit.

Although the way things have gone this summer there will probably be volcanos and monster-filled mist.

Ask me IRL plz.

Either that or friend him and find out yourself!

I asked him about you on Patrick's comments and he possibly said you were soccer pals. hard to tell bc of punctuation and abbreviations.

that is correct

I'm surprised by the scifi turn of events in this thread.

we watched a little of Torchwood (entertaining but maybe a little too goofy for me) but have gotten sidetracked by the recent arrival of DAMAGES (AKA the show that Sarah and I are obsessed with but no one else watches) SEASON THREE

i am obsessed with damages!

In Damages' continuing trend of weird guest stars, season three features Campbell Scott, Martin Short, and Lily Tomlin.

xpost yay!

damages casts all the cutest boys, like campbell scott and tim olyphant

also it rules

also i think you mean awesome guest stars

Torchwood is definitely goofy.

If you decide to continue w/ Torchwood, avoid reading the Tardis Wiki pages about it because they will put right there in a column next to the title of the episode the CHARACTERS WHO DIE.

xp Tim Olyphant you say????

in season 2 it guest stars marcia gay harden, who is your celebrity doppelganger, Jenny

i think you would like this show, Jenny

Nick thinks so, too. You two should start working on Jeff, then, since I can really only watch TV shows that he won't watch when he's traveling and hopefully that's about to end for awhile.

That's my name, don't wear it out.

what does jeff like in a tv show?

Patrick Stewart

haha okay well damages is currently airing its fourth season so maybe someday

We're working our way through Star Trek: Voyager now, and then of course there is Breaking Bad, so maybe there will be room in our lives for Damages between the end of Breaking Bad and whenever stupid awful HBO decides to release Game of Thrones in a format that does not require me to subscribe to their stupid, expensive channel.

I have been having nightmares every night for like 10 days. On one hand, it's kind of interesting, and I like to wake up to find out that I'm not standing on a portal to outer space/fiery pits of hell. On the other hand, that is a lot of nightmares.

The last dream I can remember was about a fishtank full of dead crickets.

a portal to outer space doesn't sound so bad imo

i'm not referring to comfortable and beautiful outer space; i mean the vast, uninhabitable, dark, brutal stretches of outer space

That's a lot of nightmares! Are you taking a sleeping pill? Some commonly prescribed ones really ramp up the bad dreams.

I'm not even sure why I mentioned it -- I'm fine. It's just weird, I guess.
I guess they're more vivid dreams than straight up nightmares.

Vivid dreams can be really tiring.

Indeed.

Do you think I can get a doctor's note that says burnt popcorn smell is dangerous to my health?

Haha if you do, give me the doc's name so I can get one, too.

Tho surprisingly, given the mountains of problems with my workplace, burnt popcorn is not a big problem here.

For the past two weeks, my desk has smelled like burnt popcorn every second I've been in the office. Well, I suppose thats not entirely true, there was a whole 25 minutes this morning I was in before she got in and cooked her first bag.

MICROWAVE POPCORN GIVES YOU THE CANCER sign on the kitchen counter

jvc, I follow your popcorn saga pretty closely, so don't think you're posting to deaf eyes.

Well, I suppose thats not entirely true, there was a whole 25 minutes this morning I was in before she got in and cooked her first bag.

out of context and i would wonder what sort of line of work you were in!

ah that's the issue, it's heroin-flavored popcorn

I've been having a recurring dream that the moon is HUGE in the sky, way closer than it should be, and it frightens me.

I mean, I'm just torn about the whole thing. Like its obviously a really annoying smell and I'm not the only one who has complained about it, but I'm not really sure I'm set to really throw down on the issue because this girl is 100% the type that will go to the wall fighting for her popcorn and we'll end up where the microwave gets removed and no one gets to use it. And I don't want to be the guy that does that.

Unburned microwave popcorn is pretty foul, too, especially the butter flavored kind.

My boss just got an email delivery failure notification for an email he sent in August, 2009.

yeah but he probably tried sending it from excel

Boss lady emailed me yesterday "The drop down menu on my home computer disappeared. Can you help?"

That message was extremely special to me.

I'm working on a case involving a m@n of the Cl0th d1ddl!ng b0y5. Gr055.

Took me a second to process that one and for a second I thought you were referring to a horrifically named boy band or something, the Cl0th D1ddl!ng B0y5.
