Mal ,'Objects In Space'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
when people don't respond to voice-mail messages, or to repeated e-mails, then I assume they're pissed at me and hoping I'll take a hint from their pointed ignoring of me
That's how I feel, so you're not alone. I have had people actually tell me, "I was hoping you'd get the hint!" So a perky "Fuck you!" is often the best response.
Of course they could be me ...and forget to respond- or not yet have the right answer- so there is no response yet. But OTH , if you greeted me with a hardy FUCK YOU i would know why...
If you have too much of a personal stake in an investigation you're fucked. Good investigators can't care about their cases like we would...they don't. (/Everything I Know I Learned From David Simon)
ABC's retread/remake/update of The Night Stalker has a young hip guy as Karl Kolchak.
Perhaps it's not a remake, but a Young Kolchak? Okay, so that makes it even more wrong but still, they could have thought about Kolchak as a teenager who drives around in a van with his friends and dog.
Ruh-roh.

With flashbacks/forwards to Old Kolchak with an eyepatch?
I'm horrible about listening to/returning voicemails. I just don't even think to check for messages half the time, and I've been known to let my phone die and not notice for days. And sometimes, especially when I'm depressed, talking on the phone seems like so much more effort than I can handle.
But that's not a defense, of me or of Tep's people. It's rude, and it's not cool, and it's something I need to do better at.

Stuart Townsend, who is almost 33 (and is therefore a year and a half older than me, and I've been out of the Young, Hip demographic for at least half a decade), is only a few years younger than Darren McGavin was when he started playing the role.
It's not like they've got Frankie Muniz or a random Caulkin in the role.

Defintivly. They could save about 10 minutes worth of footage that way per episode.
Several internet sites I've read recommend using the car seat on the plane, which befuddles me. I don't think there's enough room, for starters (at least for ours, which should've come with the warning that you would need to buy an SUV or minivan to go with it). And most people don't get a seat for the baby.
We've always bought a seat for Annabel (generally at half the price of an adult seat) and used our car seat. I don't know how anyone could stand holding a baby on their lap the entire length of a cross-continental or transatlantic flight. Maybe I'm just less patient than most, but I'd go crazy somewhere at 35,000 feet between Atlanta and Seattle if I couldn't put her down and read for awhile. And I do think it's safer, lack of fenderbenders notwithstanding--the baby is more secure on a bumpy landing or in severe turbulence.
However, we knew going in we'd be flying with her a lot, and picked a carseat that Baby Bargains said was a good fit for airline seats.
