Think good thoughts for wren13 for Tuesday, please!

Second, the plate of the day (on a Prius): NO4NOIL

I'm watching last week's Battlestar Galactica with wren13, and they're flashing back to the house where Baltar lived before the Cylons came - and I know this house! Well, let me rephrase that. That's the house that we saw so much of last night in the movie "Firewall" - the house where Harrison Ford and Virginia Madsen live! A very memorable house, and ( Read more... )
