Virgo:: Passing a video store window in San Francisco, I spied a poster advertising a set of DVDs for all seven years of some old TV program. What show it was, I couldn't tell. Most of the sign was obscured. But the blurb at the very top promised that "You may never get up off the couch again"-- presumably because you'd become so immersed in the world of the TV show that you'd have no need to actually go out and live your own life. While I don't usually recommend that you pursue this kind of escapism, Virgo, it's perfectly fine-- maybe even healthy-- to do so now. Please feel free to disappear from the grind for a few days. If necessary, flee into an alternate reality.

Being reasonably sure that Rob's talking about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I heartily agree that I could use a nice dose of escapism at the moment. Life is a tad overwhelming right now, you know? But hey, the internet is a wonderful distraction.

Today's thing that makes me giggle like a loon::
Random facts about Chuck Norris.
"Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter he grew a beard."

"Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs."

"There are two things on Earth visible from space; The Great Wall of China, and Chuck Norris's testicles."

"Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants."

"Chuck Norris lost his virginity before his dad did."

"When Chuck Norris has sex with a man, it is not because he is gay, but because he has run out of women."

*warning. While the majority of these are hysterical, some are pretty tasteless. Read at your own discretion.


Today's thing that makes me go, "Aw. I love my big damn fandom"::

Firefly fandom is raising funds to buy Nathan Fillion *the* brown coat for his birthday. If we don't win, the money goes to a charity of his choice. I had $5 leftover in my paypal balance. Every little bit helps.


Today's thing that makes me think, 'One of each, please'::
Carmen. Shane.
Okay, Christmas money is heretofore set aside for The L Word's season 2.
