@Annette: That is an alarming note about morning glory. Terrifying, really. I do so love the satisfaction of pulling out a meter of roots. @pixie: If she's a Cylon, I'll put the t-shirt away for a few years then I'll pull it out again and wear it with great irony. Or, you know. She'll be a good cylon.

but what if Roslin IS a cylon??? I can’t wait for the new iPhones either, I didn’t get the first gen one, waited for better and 3G.

That new doogie movie looks great, he’s such a great actor.

I agree with you about Morning Glory (the wild weed, not the cultivated flowers).
I think it was sent here from outer space to remind us happy gardeners that evil does exist.
Did you know that a single plant, if left alone, can cover 20 square meters in one summer?
I’m a huge fan of organic gardening, but when you’re up against evil, you must fight on the same terms. The only, single weed in my garden on which I allow myself to use weed-killer is Morning Glory.

@Lisa B: I'm hoping for speedy for you! @Liz: I've read most of The Windup Bird Chronicle. I failed to finish it for some reason I can't remember, but it wasn't that I didn't love the book. Better dig it up.

Yay for reading Murakami! He's one of my all-time favorite authors. After Dark was good, but was too much like his short stories for my liking (his short stories are always unfulfilling - I'm always left wanting to know what happens next, you know?) If you're enjoying After Dark, I highly suggest some of his earlier works in the surreal realism genre: The Windup Bird Chronicle (possibly my favorite book of all time), and the Rat trilogy, which consists of A While Sheep Chase and Dance Dance Dance, and the first book in the "trilogy," Pinball 1973, which is no longer being published (and much, much rawer), but can sometimes be found online in PDF or HTML format... (Google it - you'll find it.)

Dr. Horrible!!! Ah Joss, he just can’t help making brilliant stuff. If he were to spill pancake batter on the floor it would be funny and insightful somehow (and dark).

Roslin ‘08 shirt is hilarious. I want one.

One of Peter’s friends was apparently an extra on BSG recently. I’m dying waiting for the season to finish and come out on dvd. It will be on dvd instantly, right? Right?!

@matt: I saw an app today that lets you use your iPhone (maybe a touch, too?) as a remote control for your computer. I nearly fainted.

Jayne amigurumi? Sweet mother… I thought I was der ubergeek. You win. ;-) Kisses! Oh, and you’ll LOVE the iPhone. My touch rules those remnants of the universe that my beagle left over.
