I felt cheated by "Trophee Eric Bompard" not being on this week (it's next week; I misread the schedule on Monday :(), so I popped in some of my old ice dance tapes. Lord, I'd forgotten what horrors in costuming were committed in the early nineties. Not that they ever stopped being committed; the ones in my icon are circa 2000, I believe, but...whoa. 1993 was just painful. Like, neon Spandex painful. Even illusion fabric usually isn't quite that bad. (Punsalan and Swallow and your lime green horror, I'm looking at you.) At least the skating was still nice. I'd forgotten about Roca/Sur's "Perhaps" program (to the Cake version of the song, no less). Heh. They're such good actors, in addition to the lovely skating.

I feel a strong desire to see some Invisible Man episodes. I wonder if I have any on tape anywhere. Or maybe I'll be really lazy and just make do with fic, thus not having to move from the couch...

- Persuasion given several looks of revulsion

Dear Becca,

It has come to my attention that you are in the habit of slanderizing my work. I spent quite some time writing my novels, and labored intensely to fill them with lovely characters like Louisa Musgrove just for you reading pleasure, and I would really appreciate it if you would take some time out of your vacation to read my quite excellent book. If you do not complete it soon, I shall be forced to rise from the dead and write a seventh whopper of a novel, which will then be deftly inserted into your comps list around mid-March. Please think carefully about your actions, as they may have serious consequences for the rest of the English department, and, indeed, the world.

Love and kisses,

~Jane Austen
