DS9 Rewatch

Having finished TNG and TOS (in that order, FRTDNEATJ) we've progressed to DS9 and reached season 3.

CIM: OH MY GOD! FINALLY A GARAK AND ODO EPISODE!
WAX: You know, it's so funny to watch these two [Rene Auberjonois and Andrew Robinson] in a scene together; it's like...
CIM: Tim [Roth] and Gary [Oldman], or...
WAX: Sir Patrick and Sir Ian, or...
CIM: Alan Rickman and Dame Maggie Smith.
WAX: There's just so much scenery chewing going on!
CIM: Yeah, it's like 'Wait, that's MY scenery!' Then like in Lady and the Tramp they meet in the middle of the last piece. All the scenery's gone.

...I've already seen a couple of Garak-Quark scenes and a Quark-Odo episode or two, so that experience isn't novel, but Wax wasn't watching with me then. And I have to say, the 'YOU BLEW UP YOUR SHOP!' scene in 3x20 is... even more devoid of scenery at the end than those other ones. They didn't leave a crumb.

In related news, I want a fanart of Garak, Quark, and Odo Powerpuff girls. I will attempt to draw one myself when I get around to it, but I don't have vector art skills, so I know it won't be truly satisfying.

living with Russel Crowe

The Kenwood stand mixer lives on the counter, but the silicone pad for under its bowl was found on the hallway floor with kitty (i.e. Russel Crowe) teethmarks this morning and must now be kept in the cabinets. (He loves rubber and all the rubber bands must be kept locked up as a result. Also random objects are found in the dog's water dish typically several mornings each week.)

Every time he's unprecedentedly dickish we both have to pick him up, hold him upside down, squeeze him and kiss his furry little face a lot. I'd worry about reinforcing his mischief if I didn't know that cats couldn't give less of a shit what you think about their behavior.
