Most do tend toward the wall monitor displays and points of light in an otherwise dark room. It's probably supposed to heighten the tension.
Maybe it's meant to remind one of a military command center? Like, a warship's CIC?
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The TV/movie version, sure. I have no personal experience, but my guess is that most land based military decisions happen under fluorescent light.

Yeah. Unless it's a room with lots of radars and stuff.
It was pretty dark in the War Room in Dr. Strangelove, right?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
but my guess is that most land based military decisions happen under fluorescent light.It's just so unflattering. Maybe we should decide who to bomb in candle light. I think our decisions will look much better that way.
I'll be out of town until the 19th, but the following weekend works for me. The one after that I'll be in Seattle, but after that, I'm free.I will be a grownup and not commit to anything until after I go see Portland. But there will be visit-age.

Having seen recent pictures, I could also guess heart attack.
Cash, that was my first thought.

SWNF seeking chiro, massage therapist and nice person. Who can deal with the "N is for neurotic" part of me. And stop my headaches. Which likely would take care of a great deal of the neurotic all by itself.
Also gay rodeo is hitting Phoenix soon. I am watching TDS and am far more interested in the interview that was shot in front of the Superstition Mountains. Or, really, the mountains. Not caring much about the yapping in front of them.
Reading this post, sort of explains why I should be given adequate pain meds for my headaches and that mixing and matching when I am out of known compounds is making me stupid. In less pain, but stupid.

What is even happening?
Cass, I hope managed to beat that headache into submission and get some sleep, after you posted.
Yup. It came out today. I saw it on the Futon Critic. It makes me sad. I enjoyed the first two eps.That's a shame. I missed the first night of The Book of Daniel (that was two hours, right?) but saw the next two episodes. I enjoyed it (not just as a viewer, and I wouldn't normally add this, but I enjoyed it--the religious themes--as a Christian, as did Scott, and my mother). Feh.
They've added Mad Cow to the Giant Microbe plush toys.But it's not a microbe. It's a prion. I see they note that, but still, does no one have any respect for scientific...scientific...scientific stuff?
Dude. Chris Penn is dead.Oh, man. Poor thing.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Cass, I wish you could go to my chiro guy. I wish he could treat other parts of me, he's that good.
For the second day in a row, it's s n o w i n g here. This seems rather cruel.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just realized I should probably have been more prepared for the phone interview I have in 10 minutes. Whoops. At least I've had coffee?

Good luck with the interview, Jesse!
And, Cass, I hope you feel better soon.
From further back, re: The Closer. I've just started watching it, mostly for J.K. Simmons' bits. (I have a voice thing.) I've liked the two episodes I've seen so far.
