Row that boat.
I really strongly dislike the summer, because I'm not very good with the whole 'heat and humidity' thing. I mean, I'm Russian. I won't lie and say I cope with the cold any better, but at least there you can bundle up. My ideal temperature is around 70, though probably less. Another reason? I hate summer clothes. Especially shorts. Shorts and I do not go well together. Unfortunately, we have to go together today, but we, neither of us, is liking it.
I just finished ironing. Yeah, for my mom. 'Cause it's really important, you understand, to iron underwear. Without that, it will not serve its purpose and hold things in place. Yes, I am scoffing. Because ironing underwear is right up there with drinking coffee to sleep. Let's not go into what we use starch on, now...
Anyway, I was watching "Highlander" (the TV show) while doing it, and I'm confused. I mean, I generally know very little about the show, but having seen Peter Wingfield twice now, I'm not opposed to finding out more. To put it mildly. So, I'm going to appeal to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rochefort and miraminx and their expertise in the area. The episode I saw ended with Duncan killing Callus (right?) on top of the Eiffel Tower, and them all going off into the sunset, so did I see the finale of the series? If so, when does Methos first appear? I'm confuuuuuuuuuuuuuused... Help?
And now for something completely different:
I've been writing, and it feels really good. I'm running a good chance of finishing my Fuh-Q-Fest story today. Wheeeeeeeeeeeee... But if not, then soon. The bad part is, it's depressing as all shit, and I think it's causing me to feel depressed myself. I'm torn between feeling accomplished and feeling like drinking myself silly. That's wrong, isn't it?
I'm going to end this silly entry with a letter somebody sent into Time magazine in this week's issue, in response to an article on Bush and the war (I haven't read the article itself, I admit, but I'm guessing it was criticizing his actions):
"Where is a president like Harry Truman when we need him? Truman was willing to drop atom bombs to save the lives of American troops. In the face of enormous public disapproval, he fired General Douglas MacArthur. Truman showed courage and decisiveness when confronted with seemingly impossible situations. The whys and hows of the quagmire in Iraq would not faze him. He would either order the troops home or unleash the full might of the military on those who disrupt our efforts in Iraq. Moreover, he would take full responsibility for the decision."
...or just nuke 'em all. 'Cause, really, what are other people worth if they aren't with us? Like, you know, those Japanese citizens - we couldn't profit from them, they served no purpose, but it showed 'em just how serious we really were about winning.
I understand that war calls for casualties, from all sides. But if you're the sort of person who's willing to drop an A-bomb on millions of innocent people, I sincerely hope you are not in any position to do it. But that's just me.

Your mother sounds like my mother, so while you're ironing the underwear, remember to iron the sheets and bedlinen too!
Have a wonderful day today!
*HUGE hugs*

Maybe that's also the source of your dream frustration? It's all subconscious, you see, in your mind, you were really saying to the producers: "Fuckers, see what you've done?!" What else has he been in, anyway?

Oh, she'd already done that, of course! I'm not used to ironing big things, you see, and it has to be perfect, therefore she did that all on her own. And, yes, used spray starch on them. Because it's important that your sheets resemble a white-tie shirt. You are, after all, going out on the town in them.
And thank youuuuuuu!
*HUGS hugs back!*

It could be; although even Duncan in the dream was infuriatingly in character. I had another dream before that where Duncan and Methos turned up at Minx's house, and not only did she not share, she wrote a story about it and made me beta the bloody thing!
What else has PW been in? Oh, lots of itsy bitsy Canadian thingies. You'd really have to go out of your way to find them. He also had a small part (the only small part he has, I'm sure) in X-Men 2. Interestingly, he used to play the baddie in The Archers, a very, very long-running soap opera on Radio 4 here; you might have heard of it. He was great in that. Everybody hated him. But he left to become Methos and has never been back since.
