TV crushes

I need to apologize for the rather fangirlish reference in my last goo. I was having a little crush on Marcus Cole when I made the goo... that is my justification.
When I say 90210 in the rest of this post it is perhaps incorrect because I mean in fact "Beverly Hills 90210", the old one, not this new one that came on TV this year that is called just "90210"... which I have very little interest in... but anyway...
Um, speaking of TV crushes is it just me or does Dylan on 90210 look quite a bit like Spike on Buffy ? :P He doesn't have the insanely prominent cheekbones really but there is this weird resemblance. They both have eyebrow scars, although on opposite eyebrows. Can you imagine how bored a person has to be to notice something like that?!?... I don't really have a thing for Dylan though. Spike is just more interesting. And he definitely dresses better, and there's the cool fake accent :P I read a theory actually that Luke Perry's character in the original Buffy movie (which bears very little resemblance to the series) played an early version of Spike. The character name was Pike... and while not a vampire he was supposed to be a cool dude... hmmm...
Anyway, I am not sure why people hate on Beverly Hills 90210. It seems like a good show. I would definitely say it seems better than our previous obsession, The O.C, which seems to have stolen a lot of their plot lines besides. The season 2 xmas episode we just watched was beyond dorky though. But it has usually been quite good, so far. Bringing it back around to the beginning of my post, Marcus is supposed to appear in 5 episodes of 90210 coming up 4th season. Yay...
90210 does kind of tend to have a moral in every episode and be a bit dorky, so it is kind of a cross between Little House on the Prairie and a more modern teen drama.... But hey... I love Little House on the Prairie, too.
I'm probably going to get embarrassed and delete/edit this.

D&D first impressions
So our books came yesterday and I've been reading the Dungeon Master's guide as scheduled while Darrell's been reading the Player's Handbook. It's quite obvious I am going to have to read the Player's Handbook too since there is not so much actual useful information in the DM guide. It has lots of pages about different playing styles, how to handle different personalities in your group, and weird stuff like how to write cryptograms, but not so much useful data on the actual rules.

I don't really understand why people ask this. Doesn't it take longer to ask this question and wait for the answer than to just let the person do what they please with the receipt? Oh well. Go »Drinks
We found a big 1.75 liter bottle of Absolut Apeach for $10 ... We didn't realize what a great special this was until we saw that the little 0.75 Go »Another Irritating Thing
The Indian episode isn't the only irritating thing that happened with The Cedars recently. A while before that, Darrell received an e-mail from someone claiming to be from MTV saying they had listened to his songs on the Jones Soda website, liked them, and wanted a CD to consider including in their show. Now this sounds like an obvious fake, but the thing is, some research showed that the person who sent the e-mail does exist and does work at MTV, the e-mail address was verifiable, the phone number led to a seemingly legitimate voice mail, and the address was an actual office at MTV.

We all have our nerdy crushes. More than one Survivor contestant has inspired a crush here, and Maura Tierney on ER. Then again, I somehow made it through five Star Trek series without being attracted to any of the women, not counting a high school crush on Terry Ferrell. Rosalind Chao was almost in the DS9 cast; I guess she counts.
