I’m saving this for that distant day when I can’t help but feel joy at the goodness of humanity, in order to remind myself that people are on crack. Ganked from Kait, A mini!Rent/TDS/TCR crossover. Tears of mirth, people. This is that special, rare kind of fic that is so WTF it must be read.
Playing anagram games with a friend online last night, I saw that an anagram of my own name is “Cripples in clears!” Clearly, this means that House will no longer be in critical condition from his gunshot wounds in tonight’s episode. The cripple is in the clear! XD
*does the House season premiere dance*

Something Really Unfortunate (And Really Hilarious) On The 2 Euro Coin.
Ko cooked for her advisees and a bunch of friends last night. HUZZAH! A splendid time was had by all. To prepare, I made my room look as decorated as possible with only my two Sandman images (the third being broken) and my Hero lobby cards, as my poster tube is still MIA. I tacked up our tapestry-drape thing on the other wall so it wouldn’t look so bare. Then Ko and I cut out the “used” images from my Discworld calendar and used them to cover the closet doors, formerly our “Get Fuzzy” wall. Then as Ko chopped several thousand pounds of vegetables, I decorated the kitchen with pictures of peppers and of those veggies cut up to look like animals, taken from a mini-calendar. We had restored the Door of Liberalism at at earlier date.
In the end, we devoured almost all of the enchiladas and beans, but only half the pico de gallo. Here, Ko sheepishly brandishes the remains. Food for us the next few days is going to be like the days following Thanksgiving and Christmas, where every meal includes some form of turkey.
Oh, and check out the most godawful eyesore in Philadelphia, now blemishing the view of the city from our dorm room window. How they got zoning rights for those paint colors in a city of bricks and whites and beiges is beyond me. How anyone not colorblind could approve such a scheme boggles the mind. How anyone with that color taste could become an architect without being shot by his professor to spare the world from future trauma, the world may never know.
Breakfast today was a Mexican Omelette, made from our ridiculous overabundance of leftover pico de gallo and a bit of feta, which is not Mexican but the only cheese I had on hand. Yummy! For lunch, I made a Mango Lassi to go with leftover pad thai. I used honey instead of sugar, and result is delicious! Though next time, I’ll use a bit less yogurt.
(Yes, I’m going to subject you to my culinary exploits for the forseeable future. Deal with it. Think of me as Jane Espenson, except without any of the wisdom, writerly talent, or industry savvy.)
I couldn’t imagine him going out any other way, but still. Oh my God.
I deserve some kind of award for Stupid. I’ve been racking my brains as to why my ink cartridges aren’t working in my printer, and I just realized I got the wrong ones. I was using cartridges I got for my old printer, which died a year ago. Here I was thinking the printer must have been subjected to heat, and something must have gotten warped.
Now I just have to figure out what stupid thing I’m overlooking could be preventing my DVD player from working.
Ooh! But I bought a blender today, so I can make smoothies! I have strawberries and bananas and blueberries and mango and honey. And I have plain yogurt, so I can make a Mango Lassi. Mmm, Mango Lassi.
O MY HART, SHE IS SHATTERED. It turns out Tony Robinson will not be playing Nobby in Hogfather, as I had previously believed. That role goes to Nicholas Tennant. Robinson will be playing Vernon Crumley, owner of the toy store.
And totally unrelated: This is wonderful news and a true scientific breakthrough that will save countless lives, but does it remind anyone else of Gattaca?
Tonight’s revelation: Fry and Laurie as Colon and Vimes.
If I were Supreme Exhalted Ruler of the World, my first executive order would be to make that happen. Only then would I move on to things like universal health care and the establishment of “Pie for Everyone Day.” I would make an excellent Supreme Exhalted Ruler of the World. Unless you didn’t like pie, in which case you would be downgraded from “Citizen” status to “Morlock.”
The Heroes pilot was supposed to to up on iTunes yesterday, yet I can’t find it anywhere. Has anyone else had any luck?
Spinach, tomato, feta, and onion omelette. I didn’t quite time it right, so the spinach isn’t quite wilted enough and the onions aren’t clear enough, but it’s still delicious! I believe a “W00t W00t!” is traditional at this juncture.
