I was curious if The Secret Circle was a good book (I think it's a series?) that just didn't adapt well to television. The idea was interesting enough, but if I downed a shot for every time someone in the show said, "I knew your mom!" or "We have to bind the circle!" I'd be smashed by the third episode. I see why it got canned after the first season.

Say amen and hide your nice clothes.
One of her best lines will forever be [I]these aren't my pants![/I] I find myself casting through my memory for instances where I have been wearing pants belonging to another . . . and come up short. Nope. Always mine. Never a mix-up.
Well, when you grow up in a house with two siblings of the same gender as you, similar size and similar taste in clothes, it's something you end up saying not infrequently, especially when you try to go through the laundry basket in the dark.
However, I suspect that was not the situation for LiLo.

I never read the Circle books. Love the game idea, though. I get all my tv watching from the internet right now, so I'll pretty much give any show with supernatural leanings a try - even Teen Wolf which I love (I'm about 4 decades older than their target audience). I don't seem to be into zombies as much as a lot of people. Not sure why, but it might be the fashions. ;)
I said "these aren't my pants" a LOT as a kid. Each kid had their own laundry basket for clean clothes (that never made it to the dressers), and they tended to overflow from one to the other quite frequently. I'd make it from the den (laundry area) up to the kitchen and get just enough light to see that those jeans are entirely too small, say that line, and go back down in the den to try again.

Maybe I'll pick up the first Circle book at the library and see - the characters were so one-note in the television series but it wouldn't be the first time a good book was made into a bad show. Practical Magic was an interesting example of that working the other way - adorable movie from a rather dull book.

On a side note, Lady Friend had a moment of cognitive dissonance at a Chinese restaurant the other night because mariachi music was playing over the speakers.

When in Grocery Outlet the other day, I saw a package of "Beef Taco Flavored Yakisoba"
WTF
Now I need to watch Practical Magic.

YOU'RE WELCOME. :)
I'm the Halloween Scrooge on the block this year. Eye of the Storm will be dressing up Sauron and Shelob in little costumes to go trick-or-treating, and I just can't do it. I can't listen to these horrible dogs bark all year and then coo over what cute angels/devils/bumblebees they are on my porch.
Panda is going out to dinner far, far away tonight.
