Ooh - shark week coming up.
Yay! I'll have to pick up my Happy Shark Week cards - I already have a shark pen to fill them out with.
ION: ita, I like your tagline. Yay '80s pop!
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
But I can't say I mind in a case like this. Some stories are That Big.
This.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
But, like, there is That Big, and then there is implying you have more information than you actually do. Run a ticker at the bottom of the screen; do a picture-in-picture of a loop of the footage you have; but the whole "watch the anchor ad-lib and interview minor functionaries who themselves have no idea" CNN-flood-o'-coverage sometimes just doesn't work.

Swouncing
They do that in Israel too?
Totally, all the time.
brenda, what I have a problem with in this scenario is how people have nothing new to say, so they're saying other stuff instead. I mean, I can totally see the sense behind repeating the facts, for people who just tuned it, but starting to throw speculations, accusations, and wrong unchecked facts. The story becomes what words that the newspeople are throwing into the air, rather than the actual story, if I'm making any sense. At least, that happens, more often than not, in Israel.
[Edit: x-post with Nutty, who expresses my thoughts better than I can. Oh, and to say that it is, in my eyes, a very personal thing, the level of too-much-news.]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The hotel I stayed at in London when I was over there in January is right up the road from Russell Square. God.
