Okay, Prison Break Question:
Was Michael's plan completely stupid or what? Don't get me wrong, Wentworth Miller is a very pretty man, even though he's not my type. But this show is crazy making!
Mal: You were dead! Tracy: Hunh? Oh. Right. Suppose I was. Hey there, Zoe.

Nah, that's fine. Though the 16 RPMs were mostly used for non-musical purposes. Like...teaching typing, or speeches. The business stuff Ple alluded to.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It's just standing over there making a clicking sound and soon I will kill it dead.Jessica is my sistah in appliance homocidal tendency.

So, is this the first new TDS in awhile? I forgot to check to see if it was on last night.

Random: 15+year ago a former friend( I haven't been able to find her since Berlin 3 years ago)/ classic N.O. wild child went on many double dates with Harry Connick Jr. and reported him to be a complete and utter gentleman (moreso than the love of her life at the time. She was very impressed with him. ) This, before I had a clue of his fame. I saw the teevee reports, and that just reinsured that opinion. Opportunistic? Sure. Still a good human? Yup.
I needta go to bed. But can't sleep. Ahrg. Maybe offline will help.

Our wings are not tired.
HC Jr. was totally hott with the shirtlessness and compassion.
Ready for bed now. I was pleased that TDS included the Barbara Bush cold hearted bullshit. It is unfortunate that they had so much material to choose from this week.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Both TDS and The Onion were good today.
Re Prison Break, all I know is I'm starting to root for the gansters who want him dead. Sure he's pretty, but his plan seems to be (a) build prison (b) ... (c) escape! And I just want to reach through the screen and shake him and yell "WHY ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT NOT EVERYONE IN PRISON IS NICE TO YOU????"

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I don't think it was all that opportunistic on Harry's part. He's not bucking for a Pulitzer* here, he won't sell any more albums because of this. He's using his ample star power to draw attention to the desperation of his beloved home town. And its hot out, shirtlessness only makes sense as he uses his ample muscle to help out.
This could be my celebrity bias of course. Oprah will piss me the fuck off, no doubt, because she'll act like its all about her.
*I*, however, am opportunistic. MMMmmmm nekkid Harry. MMmmmm stories of his being a "complete and utter gentleman".
*not that all or even most of the reporters pulling people onto boats were, I honestly think they were horrified and dropped their usual "observer" status out of sheer desperation. except geraldo.

I'm on the wrong coast to comment about tv but I just reran House and that is the not Vicodan. It was more like a Tylenol without the pretty red lettering. Silly little detail to get wrong. Not that I am invested in the subject or anything.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wouldn't want South African diamonds either, but it's easy for me to say, since I don't think they're pretty.
