people knew how to whittle

Caroline, how do you manage to be adorable even when feeding on the equivalent of a blood sippy cup? It's a special talent. That poor bastard at the carnival, though. RIP, dude. Ok, I did think it was a little weird that Stefan was talking to Damon after the events of last week, but I guess they have bigger fish to fry.

Neat to see ambiguously supernatural (hee) Uncle Mason in action, but why why why isn't he sharing with Tyler??! It makes no sense. He comes to town, asks about his anger issues, talks about the Lockwood curse, but then when Tyler witnesses it in action, you shut him out? THAT MAKES NO SENSE. I mean, I get that you might want to ease into the subject of Jeckyll/Hyde-y werewolves fueled on rage instead of the moon (I speculate), but that was a natural segue, don't you think?! No idea what that moonstone does, maybe it helps block the transformation?

Poor Matt! He is so earnest, but how long can Caroline keep this from him? Gah. Bonnie's guilt had better motivate her into learning how to make day rings, stat! She was weirdly painthirsty this episode. Just this once, this is more your fault than Damon's!

I am glad Jeremy's reality check was relatively painless. As your Uncle John learned the hard, choppy, choppy way, the thing about protection rings is that they are not that hard to remove, mkay? That was a bizarrely cute bonding scene he and Damon had there at the end.

Also, where is Alaric? *pouts*

No major thoughts about Nikita. Still not in love, but it'll do.

I have been going through papers these last two days, sorting what I should keep from what I should shred from what I can toss and among these papers are many old receipts. I don't get rid of receipts right away because hey, you never know, so they tend to pile up. So I am going through a pile, some of which is from Austria, and I find a receipt from a store whose name doesn't ring a bell on a street in downtown Vienna (ie, it could be any kind of store) for...Seelöwen-Fütterung. That means sea lion feeding. And I was all, WTFBBQ, I would remember if I ever fed sea lions, why on earth did I buy sea lion feed, and why don't I remember. And the price was nothing, like 3 euros, and I was all, did I buy a sandwich or something that was actually intended for sea lions?!?!

And then at last it came to me.

It was a little Playmobil toy I bought to cheer up a friend, and also because I was amazed that such a toy existed. Policeman, doctor, cowboy, knight, pirate, I knew those existed, but who knew they had a sea lion trainer toy?

Mystery solved and a weight off my mind.

Oh man, this is hard. Scully, Aeryn Sun, Buffy, Katara, Toph, Chuck, I love them all, but I have to go with Veronica Mars. The others all were super in some way (Scully wasn't to begin with, but the context in which she exists is not reality and oh by the way is immortal whether the show always remembers or not) but Veronica's super powers are of her own making, through perseverance, smarts, stubborness, talent, and grit. She is smart and ruthless and vengeful and loyal, and there haven't been many characters like her on my television. Underestimate her at your own peril!

Hee! Yes, I do love me some Playmobil, and they love them some studly cops! ;p

Btw, the recipient of the feeding sea lions toy? Maybe you could guess, but it went to Emily Z, of course.
