the Dalaverse

Had a dream last night that I was visiting somebody's suite and he kept a cobra as a pet, in a laundry hamper. Therefore, waking up to this was somewhat unpleasant.

I hate snakes. Hate them. Everybody gets one irrational phobia, and that's mine. At the same time, I'm more likely to watch a nature program on snakes than on any other animal, and I always go into the reptile house at the zoo. It's like I have to keep an eye on them to make sure they're not sneaking up on me.

A snake helped provide one of the only non-heartbreaking moments ever on "Animal Cops." They had captured this big snake, probably a python, and kept it in a cat carrier, and there was a kitten in the van as well, and it kept creeping over to bat its paw at the thing. The officer, watching the kitten, said, "Curiosity did what?" It was awesome. I laughed forever.

Ugh. Snakes. I am so glad that of the campus-approved pets, Michelle chose a rat and not a snake, because I would never be able to sleep or use the toilet if I knew there was one somewhere in the suite. Of course, I guess somebody else's snake could get into the plumbing and end up here -- as far as I know, the pipes are all connected...

DAMMIT ::freaks out::

I skipped the season premiere of "Smallville" because I missed the second half of last season, and only decided to watch it tonight because I caught the promo with the bathroom scene and wanted to check out Lois Lane. And now I will be watching it again this year solely because of Lois Lane. I love her so much I almost don't miss Chloe. ( Things I Had Forgotten: )

And yes, I am well aware that everybody else on the planet is watching "Lost." I can't afford to adopt any new series this year.

Interest kind of petered out at the end because I was looking up info on the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movie. Amber Tamblyn as Tibby=good. Little girl from "The Missing" as Bailey=good. America Ferrera from "Real Women Have Curves" as Carmen=GREAT. But Alexis Bledel as Lena? I'm having a little trouble accepting that. I know she's not Greek, and imdb.com is telling me that her mother is Mexican and her father's Argentinian, which is awesome and something I hadn't known. And, you know...NOT Greek. Ah well. Lena is vaguely Rory-like, so it shouldn't be too much of a stretch, acting-wise. The boy playing Kostas is a newcomer and thus has no picture, but he'd better be gorgeous.

Bwaha!

Lynne Cheney Jokes About Kerry's Tan

To Lynne Cheney: Shut up. Your husband is a creature without soul or human blood.

To Kerry spokesman Bill Burton: Please continue being awesome.

Debate tomorrow. Vanessa will be at her Bible study for at least an hour of it. This is of the good. I may be doing my ranting alone in my room or I may go watch it somewhere on campus. Haven't decided yet.

Dammit. Two Aeschylus plays to read for Richardson, since I skipped class on Tuesday. Apologies, sinister_beauty, but your birthday fic will probably be late because the bunny is gorging itself on James' interal monologue.

I just want it to be this time tomorrow. Is that really so much to ask? Then the week will be mostly over with.

HAROLD PERRINEAU IS IN "LOST"? GODDAMNIT, NOBODY MENTIONED THAT!

Sigh.
