'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Hell, she'd scream over what I paid for my house, 5 years ago now.

Thanks for the link to the Salon article, Tom -- I hadn't caught that. My take is much the same as the writer's.

It's a little cold and damp here today, but all the trees are starting to show little leaves and my narcissi are opening, and I've even see a couple violets in my violet patch, so all is well. Also, it looks like I'll actually get some lilac blooms this year, so hurrah!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

My left wrist hurts and I don't know why...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm sure your Tivo will be good to you.

I hope so. It was still in set up mode when I left, but assured me that I would have a working Tivo in 4 to 8 hours.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My TiVo did a scary thing a couple days ago, where it was refusing to delete anything. I rebooted, it repented, and we're still an item.

So now I can catch up on my Kojak without worries of having to commit.

eta: What are the key components of Kojak? Botht he show and the character? Ving's bald and sucks on the lollipop. What else do they need to do to make it more than just lifting three things?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

There's the whole "Who loves you, baby?" charisma thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You know, I never thought of Savalas!Kojak as charismatic. But I was wee then, and prone to crushing on motorcycle cops and guys who drove cars that talked. Okay, just warming up for the talking car.

So far Ving is charismatic, if we can characterise charisma as having a large component of "I could be killing you, but I'm not -- aren't I nice?"

Savalas!Kojak as charismatic

Watching it as a teenager? Loads of charisma. It's the bald head, it's hypnotizing. I won't even tell you of the fantasies involved with bald heads.

Art Crawl!!!

Yes, TBJ is Trial by Jury. I liked it at first, but really like Numb3rs better. I need my tv life less rather than more complicated.

What is even happening?

sumi!

What did you think of JoA, last night? I hope the series gets at least another season. * I want to see how this plays out. *
