I just would like to register a complaint. When I do wonderful, charitable things, I do not appreciate it when people outdo me.
No, I'm not full of it. I just really, really wanted that John Glover autographed chair. *pouts* Mr. Meanie Man from Baltimore outbid me. Darn budget.

"I have a theory."
And no, it's not bunnies. Okay, maybe indirectly. (Thank you Lionel Luthor for introducing bunnies into Smallville.)
A slight change in one episode from Season 1 could have made all the difference in Season 2. It would have been an entirely different show, with no changes to any of the episodes in Season 2.
In Obscura (you know, stalkery cop kidnaps Chloe, which Lana and her meteor-induced second sight witness) the stalkery cop injects Chloe with a glowy green sedative to knock her out when she almost gets loose. What was that sedative? What if it was something a bit more? What if the cop wasn't just an idiot with delusions of grandeur, but in fact was a henchman of one Lionel Luthor?
That would cast doubt on a few things. Why did he grab Chloe? Season 2 would have been a bit confusing too, because why did Chloe suddenly become so different (remember that in the season finale from season 1, Chloe was inexplicably hanging out at the dance with girls that we had never seen before - behavior that was a tad suspect at the time)?
And then the episodes featuring cloning, followed by Lionel bringing her into the fold...that would have been a hell of a cliffhanger. Highly intriguing.
They so need to hire me.

My allergies are trying to kill me. Currently I'm dealing with the fact that my eyes water all night long. Not during the day. Just at night. This creates a problem because now the patch of skin at the outside corner of my left is dry and itchy. Painfully dry and itchy. The skin peeled off at one point. I don't want to wear eye makeup, it's that bad (but me without makeup is much worse).

Watched The OC. Okay, it was slightly addicting. Slightly. By which I mean: Adam Brody is too damn adorable for words. Otherwise? Eh. Young Russell Crowe impressed me because going in, I didn't buy him in the role. He's too pretty and clean cut. But I'll give him the benefit of the doubt because he can *act* the part. He actually made me forget the pretty at one point.
But really, that show is all about the Adam Brody. He's yummy and cute and endearing.

I know most of you don't listen to country music, but here's a primer. They can be a very political bunch. Or not. And some have a reputation for being very political. Some have a reputation for being extremely stubborn and political. Some just have a reputation for being old hippies.
The old hippie in question is Willie Nelson. Willie!
The extremely stubborn, political one is Toby Keith. Grrrrr.
They have a song together. "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses." It's about war and kicking ass. Here's the thing. Knowing Toby Keith and his propensity for getting on a soapbox with his "It's my way or the highway" attitude, his portion of the song merely ticks me off. Then we get to Willie's part, and I love it. I sing along at the top of my lungs. It's most perplexing.
Or maybe not. With Toby the immediate impression is anger. Which was fine in "The Angry American", but lord, let go a little man. Chill out. Calm down. With Willie, he means it, but he's not in your face. He's mildly laid back.
Plus it's Willie.

Discovered some of the advantages of getting pristine white hairs way early. (Thank you Gran. She had her first gray hair at 12. Was completely white headed by 40. I got those genes, although my first gray hair was at 20.)
I dye my hair, so there's no telling how much gray hair I have. But the other day I did discover something exciting.
A gray leg hair. First off, I am very, very white. And my natural hair color is very, very dark. Combine that with large pores on my legs...even immediately after I shave my legs, you can still see where they are. It's a pain in the ass. Now imagine that those hairs are going from dark, dark brown to transparent white.
I am rejoicing. Happy beyond belief.

I apologize to all of my male friends for the commentary. *g* I had to dish it right back for the ladies.
