There's always Netflix -- I watched the first season that way, then went ahead and bought the DVD at Target, because I knew I would want to watch it again.

OH: Rotten luck. We have it in our library system. Should I renew that invite to come here? You could come when we have snow again. (Tempting isn't it?) Still no? Okay. What about ILL? (interlibrary loan) Sorry, I'm always thinking library. Comes with the job. We have a great statewide system here, so I almost never need to buy or rent materials. I blame my cheapskate-ness on being a college student for the last six years. Just trying to help you save for that PhD :) Tal: pupae love… just brilliant.

I don't remember writing that comment. Perhaps one of the voices took over? I guess it’s also possible there is another Lori running around here. Either way, nice to meet you. OH: This Lori loves Veronica Mars too. I even own the first season DVD. (Got it at Target for $22) However, I get a lot of my DVDs from the library--free. Unless its one of those wicked long waits you've talked about, you could try that route. This is kind of odd. I don’t remember writing that comment. Perhaps one of the voices took over?

(never go to psychiatrists about voices in the head when you have CBs). my friend, who never got into TV, loves Veronica Mars. as soon as she buys the first season i'm gonna watch it. though i guess i could rent it...i trust this site. it gave me Terry Pratchett, among others. lori: it’s very important to know their motivation.

After watching the first season on DVD, I actually thought, "Someone should tell Jenny about this." And then I realized what a strange thought that was and thought better of it. And called my family psychiatrist. But then I decided not to go back, because he wants to get rid of the voices in my head, and he doesn't understand when I tell him they'll quiet down once I figure out their motivation.

I love those caterpillars -- they make the most gorgeous black butterflies, and I'm glad previous posters have finally given me a name for them. They are voracious, though. I lost a ton of fennel to them one year. I think I even caught them munching on brussel sprouts. And it seems that the most effective organic control is the icky method of picking them off by hand. But they are well-worth a parsley plant or two. (-: I hate to point it out, but y’all realize that caterpillars are underage, and are only indulging in puppy (as it were) love?
