uh-oh, spaghetti-o's

TV last night was good; I really like Ugly Betty, so it's nice to watch that and then go straight into Supanatchral. Although, I must say -- this season's magic isn't as accurate and awesome as the first season's. I mean, the clown turning out to be a rakasha? WTF do Hindu demons have to do with *circus clowns*? It don't make no sense and it felt like the writers just opened up a demonology book and pointed at one at random. They should hire ME to do that kind of research shit for them, yo.

Also, Lori and I will forever refer to Daniel on Ugly Betty as "Grandma with the birthday presents", because anybody who's seen Cruel Intentions must surely remember his character delivering dialogue involving that stellar line (even in a movie FULL of stellar lines). God, now I totally wanna watch that movie again.

Speaking of the Wee Sister, she is holding some sort of challenge wherein November 1st is Unofficial International Day of Self-Portrait. You should all do it too! Some of you are good with photography, some of you with art, and the rest of us can just glue handfuls of yarn and glitter to a stick figurine and call that portraiture. Because yes, even *I* shall be exercising my formidable art skillz to create something! Won't you join in?

Incidentally, fellow Canadians? I was at Superstore today and I noticed they now carry Tim-Tams. Yes, that's right -- the Commonwealth pulls through for us once more!!

MOTW-syndrome is often disappointing. :(

Seriously! Especially since they were so GOOD at finding interesting and accurate monsters last season. Le sigh.

Every single time I see Eric Mabius I think he is someone English and for the life of me I can never work out who I am mistaking him for. ::le sigh::

Unless! It might be Rupert Penry-Jones! Hmm.

I can see how you'd confuse them! Also, how *English* is that name? My goodness.

I know, it's so posh! He always plays posh people, too. But, y'know, he does it well.

I was thrown for a loop because the AD&D Monster Manual said Rakasha were tiger demon were-creature things! =p Also, despite that episode having a clown, I really wasn't very scared.

I'm still undecided about Ugly Betty; it's painful to watch her go through things I went through.

Your self-portrait link leads to nospace. ^_^

So it does! I've fixed the link now, thankee for the heads-up!

the AD&D Monster Manual said Rakasha were tiger demon were-creature things

ahahaah! Good ol' Monster Manual. *g* Traditionally, rakashas can take a few different forms and stuff, but CLOWN really isn't one of them. Heh!

It does make me cringe at points. But I think I'm still watching because I like America Ferarra so much; she manages to not make Betty into a pathetic sorry-for-herself victim, y'know? At the end of the episode, Betty always recoups and can be proud of herself.

Sorry! Tim Tams! Whee! I haven't had those in years!

I considered buying a packet, but then I remembered that I have trouble finishing ONE Tim-Tam and so a whole package of them would probably be A Bad Idea. *g*

OMG TIM-TAMS!!! I DEMAND TIM-TAMS WHEN I COME AND VISIT!!!

and, c'mon. You can't tell me that you didn't think last night's MOTW was made of awesome?

(dammit this thing posted before i was done!)

Last night's monster was *horrifying*!! But see, there was less arcane mumbo-jumbo attached to it, so I didn't get all stroppy about the accuracy of said mumbo-jumbo. *g*

I DEMAND TIM-TAMS WHEN I COME AND VISIT!!!

AND SO SHALL YOU HAVE THEM, MY PRRRRRECIOUS! SHARE THE LOAD

Aww, I'm glad to hear someone else likes Ugly Betty. I can't help myself, even if it's not cool to watch (I don't know what's cool these days). I love her and everyone else on the show. Except Walter. Especially now that they've introduced Henry, who would be the best boyfriend for her! My brain exploded from cuteness every time they were on screen together.
