Normally I consider all life to be sacred....but watching the Oscars now, I think killing Seth MacFarlane is the kindest thing to do. It's cruel to let him linger like they are.

In other news, the situation outside has not...changed. Not yet. Disturbing though it may be, it's still more than a little fascinating, isn't it? Almost alien.

I had a ton of dreams last night. Now the huge, strange plants are gone, apparently my dreams are coming back in full force.

Apparently my dream father thought I was going to turn evil. I thought I was going to turn evil.

I woke up with a mark on my arm from the dreams. Like a scar. I wonder how much it'll cost to have it removed.

Sometimes I think a friend of mine has the right idea, building an underground bunker. There's some wisdom in survivalism. My yard is filled with multicolored dodo birds. My car flew away.

I think really was meant to be a monk in the desert.

...I am in need of someone who could track down the location of another computer. As in, someone who could figure out from where some emails are being sent.

So, apparently cows really like it when you milk them.

I mean really like it.

...I'll wash my hands but they'll never be clean.

...That was a well weird dream. Placed called Iceworld on... Svartos? Like a really, really cold planet, with a dragon underneath it!

And I still had a mega naff job, with even worse customers. Glitz can go do one. Felt well good to dump those milkshakes over their heads

At least I had that Nitro stuff. Made well ace explosions. Makes up for Mel nearly deafening me.

This past weekend has really made me rethink my Lent choices. What I wouldn't give for a strong pint or two right about now.

Also, I heard this was a good place to be to keep up with what's happening around the county, so I figured I ought to come have a look.

( Open to all, but special interest to Pepper Potts. )

Well, that was interesting. Working in a bar with lots of bottles that read 'Drink Me'.

Now that that nonsense is over we're on cleanup duty. Q, I need you working overtime pulling news feeds and feeding the local media our cover story. Bond, I'm putting you in charge of the overall clean up. I don't want this one coming back to haunt us. Got it?

The rest of you? I want you back on figuring out what the hell those skulls in the skies were about. I want whoever is causing this trouble found. Hill, start at each of the mark's locations and pull all of the video surveillance on the street. Coulson, I want you to interview the residents of each of the houses and find out who or what is the string holding all of them together.

That's it. Let's go before something else blows up in our faces.

The Oscars last night were really good! Seth McFarlane or whoever didn't make a complete mess of the whole thing, so that's good. He was a bit crass though, wasn't he? The boob song was entirely inappropriate. I can't believe Anne Hathaway wore that dress and what was up with everyone wearing white and washed out colors? It was a little depressing on the red carpet this year. I'm so glad Jennifer Lawrence won though! She's so cute.

I can't wait until next year's award seasons! Going to the Emmy's was like the highlight of my year even though Black Widow was only nominated for one and we didn't win.

Tried to pocket one of the mushrooms for scientific data. Thought maybe I could control the other guy with it somehow, but the mushroom is already gone along with all of the data I managed to get out of it. Figures.

Hello, I'm Sybil. I've just moved here from England. Still jet-lagged, I think. I wish we'd had more time in New York on the way in, though. I would've loved to see the Statue of Liberty up close.

How far are we from the Golden Gate Bridge?

Two days off in a row, barring any pages. That equals laying out by the pool with my dog, trying to finish the book I'm on, and napping to my heart's content. If that's not a good weekend, I don't know what is.

Anya, what on Earth have you gotten me into? I'm scared.

So, uh. Hi. I'm Mercutio. People call me Merc sometimes. Lived in the OC all my life, but just got an invite to this valar thing. I live out in Stanton, and I work at Barracuda's, down in the valley. Single, prefer dudes, but I like meeting people.

I figured I'd ask before anything else: is it safe out now? This crazy-ass mushroom shit finally done? Apparently there's enough people here where somebody might know.

I can't remember at the moment if I had plans with anyone this week. I think I might have made some. I won't be able to keep those plans, I think. It's been just terrible this month, and I'm more than willing to give February a good shove out the door. I don't think I'll be around much, either, so if anyone needs anything you'll have to contact me directly. I apologize for the inconvenience.

So, St. Patrick's Day is coming up soon and I think I'm going to try making pistachio cupcakes. Faye, I hope you aren't allergic to nuts, because I expect you to taste test.

Also, whose going out bar hopping with me on St. Patrick's Day? I know it's a few weeks away, but I'm gonna need some green beer asap!

You ever wake up with the feeling that nothing really matters and everything sucks?

Yeah, we're probably right. Just saying.
