I Identify Too Much Perhaps

From The Onion this week:

JACKSONVILLE, FL—The unrequited nature of area nerd June Manzo's crush on actor Peter Tuddenham, who provides the voice of piloting computer Slave on Blake's 7, is only slightly more agonizing than the process of explanation she must put herself through every time her media obsession is discussed. "He has this slightly sinister but dynamic way of speaking on the show, particularly in the 'Headhunter' episode," Manzo said, painstakingly describing Tuddenham to fellow science-fiction fan Bradley Preakniss. "When I hear his voice congratulating Avon on his 'consummate skill,' I just get shivers... Doesn't that ring a bell? No? Not at all?" Manzo's crush is surpassed in geekiness and obscurity only by that of Denver's Demitri Ostrow, who has a long-harbored passion for author Neil Gaiman's "fabulous" assistant Lorraine.


This is particularly appropriate since I'm rearranging my icons a little and substituting the current one for "I Make Callum Cry." So this is a kind of a GIP post.

For a short while today (in my defense, I was very bored) I managed to combine two current obsessions in one daydream, where I speculated on how Hugh would do as a teammate on The Amazing Race. "It could totally work!" I told myself. "I could handle the driving and navigating! Hugh could deal with the scary foreign people! He's a scary foreign guy, they'd have so much in common!"

I crack myself up sometimes.

Oh, and in cat news: Rosemary (the roommate) took Yum Yum to the vet yesterday and found out that the renal failure diet is having at least one good effect: she's gained a pound and a half since December -- now she's up to 7.5! She's a very small kitty, so this is about right for her. Now if I can just manage to squeeze another drive down to NJ into the summer so that Chumley can take another stint at Camp Granma for a couple months, that would be perfect!

I wonder if Demitri's ever seen Lorraine naked... 'cause I have.

Yeah, but if Hugh got pissed at you he'd totally leave you in the middle of Kuala Lumpur.

Yes, I know this has nothing to do with DS ... but ... I like that idea of "Camp Granma"! Summer camp for kitties! :-)

Hey, there's plenty of room for other things in my life, like cats & writing, and um, comic books....

Okay, so there's cats.
