No, that's not snow outside my window. That's all the skin on my legs slowly flaking off, and itching like fire.
You know, I could handle winter a lot better if only it weren't so dry. Where's all that humidity we were sweltering under in July, huh? (...Okay, I'd like my fingers not to get so cold that I make one typo every three words, too. That would be great.)

More fourth season-NX from Netflix today. It was the first time I've been disappointed with the music Universal chose to replace the original songs. They took out Loreena McKennitt's "Tango to Evora" at the end of "Survival of the Species," replacing it with some Italian aria. It wasn't the same. And in a musical travesty, the song that closes "Ill Wind," in the shot where Joel and Maggie walk down the snowy main street together after their exercise in miscommunication1, has been changed from Vinx's "There I Go Again" (you can listen to it on his MySpace page) to some schmoopy country song. Yech. I was surprised at how much it changed the tone of the ending to that episode. Lyrically, it's all wrong; there's no wistful edge to something that's basically, "My girlfriend and I took a while to get together, but now we're in luuurve. P.S., She's fabulous. The End." Not the same at all. And you all know my feelings on country, so we'll dispense with that.
But anyway, that same disc had one of my favorite episodes, "Grosse Point, 48230," the one with Maggie's crazy family. Buffy fans, this one features James Marsters pre-Spike, playing an Episcopalian reverend who hates listening to people's personal problems. Fleischman suggests he seek alternative employment. ;)
1Loosely paraphrased: "Our roll in the hay [literally] was all the fault of the winds! We are totally not attracted to each other in any way! Um, except for the part where we are, and despite what I'm saying about feeling like the whole UST thing between us is over, I'd do it again in a heartbeat...but damned if I'll tell you that!"
