* I saw Stay today on the basis of the cast, the previews, and the tag line, "Between the worlds of the living and the dead there is a place you're not supposed to stay." Oh, god, it was terrible. So disappointing. And it doesn't take much to entertain me. I know what the movie was trying to do but, instead of being creepy cool with a wild twist of an ending, it dragged and got lost in itself and didn't have the big bang it aimed for.

glockgal's November commission queue. Wheeeee! She's drawing me the final "DON'T CALL ME COWARD!" Harry/Snape scene from HBP. I can't wait! I'm going to frame it and put it next to the Harry/Snape "Train" art that's currently framed in my kitchen and also in the icon below. YAY!
* I love the 'Nsync love on my friends page today. It's amazing how the core of my friends list is still tied to 'Nsync and popslash. It's fun to see which photos everyone is choosing to mark the day. Candy made me particularly nostalgic with her post and Lex made me particularly appreciative with her post. A fandom that led us to the Eiffel Tower and Justin on the Champs-Elysee is a hell of a thing.
* Last night I watched the TNG episode, "Family," on Spike. I haven't seen it in ages and I forgot how much I love it. This episode is to Star Trek and Picard what "Gum Drops" is to CSI and Nick only better. Picard needed this episode post "The Best of Both Worlds" and we needed this episode, too. The scenes with his brother are unlike any other glimpse into Picard's life throughout the series. Here, he's not the infallible intelligent captain. He's a brother who needs his family in ways he doesn't even realize. He needs someone to put him in his place and give him perspective. Someone to remind him of who he is. The scene in the mud, as the laughter morphs into sobs, is perfect, perfect, perfect. Even the Worf and Wesley scenes worked for me. Worf because I loved his dynamic with his parents and their efforts to do right by him and Wesley because I remember, at the time, wishing desperately that I had a holographic message from my own father. I've been stalling on the TNG DVDs because they're so damned expensive but I think I'm going to bite the bullet and start with season 5.
* CNN reports that FEMA and the National Hurricane Center are worried about complacency now that the hurricane lost some strength. Good grief. I just want this thing to come and go already. Does it seem to everyone else like we've been waiting forever?
