picture meme

snagged from : “When you read this you’re tagged (if, you know. you want.). Take a picture of you in your current state, no changing your clothes or quickly putting on makeup. NO PHOTOSHOP. Show your F-List the real you!” Not, mind you, that an unphotoshopped photo is any more me–the light is worse in the photo than it is in real life, for example–than a ‘shopped one is, but whatever. Me this evening, anyway. :) And Young Indiana, not this evening, but you don’t care, do you. :) Shout…

Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles

Ted and I just finished watching Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles, which my friend referred to a while back as being the best SF show nobody was watching. He was totally right, too.
