I thought the accent was going to kill me from the promos, but it didn't particularly bother me once I was into the show.

The accent was just wrong. Wrong word emphasis, wrong phrasing. It took me out of the story.

Oh hell yeah.

Ah. I don't know the difference, so it didn't bug me. She didn't sound like my Pensacola/Mobile peeps, but I don't know from southern accents beyond theirs. (Except for my uncle's South Georgia accent, which was nigh incomprehensible to me as a child.)

With respect to the show, I was a little... oh, you know, hard-edged, highly-skilled person comes in, pisses off the regulars, but turns a few of them with his/her mad skilz and being right, yeah, yeah, yeah .

But I thought the case was interesting, and I didn't really call it, so...

Anyone know of a particularly good episode of TAL? I want to download a couple for listening to at work.

I liked the tales of a teenage embed (or something like that.) Somewhat somber, but really interesting. Laugh out loud ones are often ones with Sedaris and Vowel (no idea spelling.) There was a Valentines one that was utterly soppy. Oh, and the squirrel in the couch one.

I really like the political ones, though I tend to want to throw things. Baghdad & athiest ones most recently were good. There was one on civil liberties that had me yelling.

I'm not really helping, am I?

Ah, the crappy day went somewhat into turnaround after I left work tonight. Dad's feeling OK now, though still woozy from the sedatives, and has had his medications changed to up the anti-reflux pills and take him off aspirin and ibuprofin-based painkillers. Some kind of snake-cam fiber optic test is scheduled for next week to check on potential ulcers, but the fact that he responded pretty quickly to medication is encouraging.

Also, hottie Venezuelan guy got back in touch with me tonight to accept my invite to the Serenity screening. I ought to get two toasters for him—not only am I the one who'll introduce him to Firefly, but he came out between our first and second dates.

Wow. That's mighty toaster-ness, Matt; I think you deserve at least a barbecue.

"she's really good at her job but she's messy and has body image problems"

I got no problem with this, as it describes me and lots of my friends. However, I understand they handle it clumsily in the show.

There was one on seperation of church and state recently. The one on the Gore v. Bush court descision was really good.

Non-political, I love Kid Logic and the phone one.
