"Dude, that show gets such a bad wrap. And, like, other shows steal from it a lot," she said. "And why isn't Bruce Boxleitner in more stuff?"

That. Just. Happened ( Read more... )

I have an unhealthy obsession with Maroon 5's Daylight. It's absurd how much I love this song. Except. EXCEPT.

Every time I hear it, it makes me think of Sheridan and Delenn's final goodbye, and Sleeping in Light and the fierce hallway hug and the gdmf pillow-hugging scene, and I get all ~emotional. Every. Time.

I believe I had previously expressed my undying love for Orlando in general (recap: LOVE.  Would live there, if it wasn't so blasted hot in the summer.  LOVE LOVE LOVE.)  I also think I've previously expressed my desire to go to a Con sometime, particularly one where Bruce would be there.

I'm having a "dating ultrasound" next week, which is, um, not really necessary?  Because I know exactly how far along I am?  But if we call it a "dating" ultrasound and not a "I just want to see my baby because I've been through a lot of shit and I need ( Read more... )
