Another fire in downtown Chicago. I'm beginning to think it's some sort of weird historical pathology.

Aaand then there are the "teenagers" on WAT. Um, sure.

Christ, that black chick looks older than I am. The others look within normal TV-teen realm, but I thought the black actress was playing a teacher. Weird.

Huh. I think I like Modest Mouse.

I think I would have liked them better if the lead singer didn't make such weird faces when he's singing.

Such is the benefit of a CD.

Timelies!

I am still so not used to this West Coast time thing. Some of it is staying inside for so long, some of it is all the rain and gloom.

Am getting OUT of the hotel today. t Resolve Face

A couple of things from WAT did they ever establish why the chic would have th home address of her Dr? Or where she was going when drug dealer/paper dealer college guy followed her away from the train station?

I ususally don't find big holes in the story, but this one seemed all untidy.

Timelies.

I think I like Modest Mouse.

I really wanted to like them. I even bought their CD (anyone want it? Free to good home). And then I realized that I think that they sound like a knockoff of the Talking Heads, and I'd much rather listen to David Byrne's voice than whoever the lead singer of MM is.

Yeah, I must agree with every other OC watcher that Jimmy is a bad parent. Going away won't change that. Also, does this mean he'll now appear on North Shore?

I felt sorry for Marissa and that so rarely happens. I also agree that in no way should there ever be a serious breech in the Sandy/Kirsten relationship.

Also if the Doctor and Swim Coach on WAT looked familiar?

That's because they were both on Buffy! The Doctor played John Lee in Season 3 (rejects Cordy for being Xander's ex) and the Swim Coach played Robson in season 7.

That was the source of my comment.

Leasing offices should not be open just standard working hours. They should be open 11-7 or 7-3 or something. And if they say they open at 8:30, they should be open.

Wasted 45 minutes this morning....

sarameg, the scary thing is that Olivia Wilde (the Alex actress) is only 20

Which makes her six years younger than Benjamin McKenzie. (He was born the same month I was, which makes it much easier for me to remember how old he is.)

Also re: The O.C.: Is there an extratextual reason for Jimmy to leave? Because I'll give them slack on it if it's a case of the actor wanting to move on, but within the story I agree it's dreadful parenting on the character's part.

I never have any idea how old people are -- if I'm thinking of them as my peers, I assume they are the same age as me, but that's about it.

Same here. What's weird is that now the young people in my office are my brother's age, 23, and I'm not quite used to the fact he is, legally, an adult.

I have no idea if I look my age or not. I know I used to look younger than, but now I get called ma'am a lot, whcih makes me feel like I look old.
