I have spent all morning watching "The Wire" myself, coioncidentally. A friend loaned our HBO-less asses the first season ans we are both totally in love with it. I think Dominic West is terrific as jimmy and do not fathom Nutty's hate on for him. Larry Giliard, Jr, as D'angelo is incredible. Also love the snitch, Bubbles, with a big big love.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Really? That story's in AYOTKS. Landsman hams it up, makes up a big story about how many Americans, especially in Balmer, die every year of pogo stick fatalities, and, go, fast.We need it for evidence because the streets of Charm City may not be safe. He just didn't expect the kid to actually try and find it.Funniest thing ever, esp. after the heartbreak of "Adena" Dee is really awesome and every time some one dies who isn't Bubbles? It's a relief.(well, at least that it's not Bubbles) That will be death that makes me hide with my kleenex box.

Didja know that Jay Landsman is the real-life cop upon whom Richard Beltzer's character on Homicide is based? And that the real-life Jay Landsman does not play "Jay Landsman" on The Wire, but Bunny Colvin's Deputy Major Mello?

Also, a good chunk of the cast, including West, are British actors. Which makes West's bad British accent from Season Two even funnier.

I did not know that Landsman played such a big part in the Munchkin. Not like a shocker, though.( Watching both of them is like spotting long-lost family members for me, though. What's that about?!) Total mispocheh. There may be stuff wrong with me. And I guess I won't write the next "Bridget Jones" after all.

This is why I can't stand West. I can tell his American accent is fake, and it's hella distracting.

Erika, embrace your inner hard ass. I mean, David Simon is basically a nice Jewish writer guy and found he just had some kind of ear for cops and dealers and junkies. I think you have that too--and it's no odder with you than with him. It's not something wrong with you, it's something right...and interesting.
