Today the girls and I ate a possum. It was an experience I won't soon forget. Maybe one day, the kids won't make such a fuss about having to go outside to urinate. And when they do, I shall heave a hearty "Yee-haw, porky!"

Today... bleh. Ma and I didn't go out until 9 or so, but we did get some foodstuffs. Yay for soup.
M*A*S*H today...
The first one was one I'd seen before; the one where Margaret is acting like a total bitch to the nurses and then comes to terms with her anger and admits to the nurses that she's very insulted by the way they treat her. Great couple of lines.
"You never even offered me a lousy cup of coffee!"
"...We didn't think you'd accept."
"Well you were wrong." ;_;
And the second one was the biggest Frank episode I'd ever seen. Not ONLY did Margaret announce her engagement, but Frank went completely off the deep end and took a Korean family prisoner and carried a gun around. Damn, what a nutcase! I mean, when Margaret told him, he was completely gentlemanly and sincere-sounding (so attractive...) but of course then, he tore both the doors off their hinges.
The end was so fucken adorable, though. Frank basically had Potter, Hawkeye and BJ hostage, and then Radar said he had a phone call, which turned out to be Frank's mom. ("Mommy? Mommy who?..... Oh! MY Mommy!!! :D") And awwww.... he was crying on the phone and talking about how no one likes him, and he had one friend who turned out not to like him either (Margaret... *sniffle*) but pretended to "just like Dad". *whimper* That is so fucken sad!!! He fell asleep on the phone and Hawkeye and BJ carried him to bed. SO FUCKEN SWEET..... ;_;
Oh, and let's not forget the end... "Some youth might be nice for a change!" You know.... in that episode, I saw a side of Frank that I didn't even know existed... I always thought he had to leave because he had no redeeming values... but if they'd taken the initiative, his breakup with Margaret could have changed him for the better the same way it did her.
Not that I'm not damn glad Charles arrived... but to think what could have been... Frank was no more of a man than before, but that didn't necessarily have to be the case forever. *ponders*
It is scary to see that he wasn't always doomed. He could have risen above all the pettiness, but he didn't. Maybe that's why Larry Linville left... he had such a Frank-centric episode that actually cast him in a positive light, and everyone was worried about him and stuff, Hawkeye and BJ really did care, you know? But then, he became sort of a buffoon again.... well, damn that would be frustrating. Terribly frustrating.
*shakes head* Poor guy. I mean, that really is terribly sad. ;_;
I really did have a pretty nice day today..
