That writer is the editor-in-chief. He's got to be in his 70's by now. DH used to work at a gas & sip across the street from the newspaper's office. Around 4 a.m., the editor would wander across the street to get an ice cream bar. He's sit down at one of the booths and fall asleep with the ice cream melting down his hand.
He's also fond of the semi-colon in his four column headlines. They read like 19th century headlines.
This particular article starts off as just kind of small town. Then it crescendos into phenomenally bad.
Middle-schoolers from the special class...
In a foreign country....
It's so neat that Cashmere's reality is much more interesting than anything we could come up with.
Forgot to record NCIS, dammit. I wanted to see who
got killed off.
Anne, I could tell you, if you want. I'm sorry, but I didn't tape.
I will tell you (not who) that it
pissed me right off.
I could be
permanently soured.
Edited in case it was spoiling! Didn't think.
Oh, I don't mind being spoiled. Is the possible
permanent souring
related to the
who was killed or how it was portrayed?
That self-referential quiz is kicking my butt. I keep getting down to 2 wrong, but never the same 2.
Who was killed off. A character I felt was a balancing factor. Still wanna know?
If so,
they killed Kate. Or rather, Ari the sexy terrorist did.
I'm sorta over the whole "in the season finale! Who will die!" thing. It's become such a gimmick, without the kind of emotional payoff that it could be. It seems like just a hook, not a devastating blow. Oh sure, still repercussions, but it seems to be less for character development and more for ratings. Of course, the shows I see it in aren't necessarily as invested in the character thing. Anyway. I'm annoyed.
Grr. Amazon shipped my NewsRadio DVDs, and used the address that was on record when I place the order over a year ago, which means it's somewhere in LA.
I had to laugh at SVU when Novak tried to
subpoena Rumsfield.
NCIS:
It seems like just a hook, not a devastating blow.
Yep. Especially since
they had five misleads. The HSQ of the actual event was pretty high, but since it happened in the last 30 seconds of the ep. there wasn't any dealing with the immediate aftermath, and I really wonder whether the next season will take up at the same point where they left off.
