I wonder when the boyf's DVR will show The Inside on it. I'll have to take a look. Surely by Saturday?

I was able to pimp Wonderfalls to my ex, who never watched Angel or Firefly (although I'm going to make him try the latter- I think that it's less intimidating for him to watch 13 eps rather than 5 seasons). He lurves it and I'm going to tell him watch The Inside, preferably with his roomates. Then insist they talk about it loudly in public places.

I have never had a beagle.

In fact, I haven't had a dog since I was 8, and that one was my sister's, anyhow. I've had a few dogs-in-law (sister's dogs that I've been able to either sit or borrow), and frequently borrowed a lovely springer from friends of my parents when I was in high school. I always thought I'd have a dog of my own when I grew up, and fancied a basset/beagle cross or a newfie for My First Dog.

However, in my adult life, I find that cats are far less work and less smell, and the as only dog I see on a regular basis is my MiL's annoying westie, a dog I'd like to nuke from orbit, I feel like I'm losing or have lost my dog lover's street cred.

Which means I need to find a dog that doesn't suck to remind myself what they're like when they're cool.

(You know, I swear I was going somewhere with this, but something ooky came on my TV screen and I totally lost my train of puppy thought.)

Jaye needed a dog. A dog would have made her happy.

This is one of the reasons I have converted to cat-person. Dogs are suddenly much less fun when you have to take care of them in addition to playing with them.

I hear beagles are good for that.

Tim, you have a better view of the industry than the rest of us—do you share my impression that Wonderfalls was sort of a breaking point for the TV critics? It seemed to me that the love for the show was so universal among them, and the cancellation so quick, that most every review of a Fox show for months after had some variation of "it's a good show, so of course Fox will cancel it" or "why does this crap get a chance when Wonderfalls didn't?"

That's all Faith wanted!

I keep telling Tim that Rebecca needs a dog.

Tim doesn't listen to me.

Maybe she hides the dog in her pink kitchen?

I was just passing by an ad about some students election that are supposed to take place next week. Most of the ad was the date, written in huge digits. The 8th of June. I nearly jumped before I realized the date had nothing to do with its meaning in my mind. Silly scary visual place.

Speaking of...do you ever talk to Fury? How's he doing?

Fury is cranky. Which means he's doing okay. When I talked to him last week he was working on an act of episode 12 of The Inside, and talking about taking his family on vacation before 24 starts up in production.
