Look who might be on our tv screens regularly next year (bold and color mine):

DIRT (FX) - Shannyn Sossamon ("Undiscovered"), Laura Allen (Lily Moore Tyler on "The 4,400"), Kathleen Chalfant (Catherine Webster on "The Book of Daniel"), Jeffrey Nordling (A&E's "Flight 93") and Josh Stewart (Brendan Finney on "Third Watch") have all joined the cast of the drama pilot, about a tabloid editor (Courtney Cox) and her right-hand photographer (Ian Hart) as they navigate the murky world of celebrity journalism. No character details however were given. Will McCormack also stars in the Touchstone Television/Coquette Productions-based hour, which comes from creator Matthew Carnahan and fellow executive producers Cox and David Arquette.

FACELESS (FOX) - Clifton Powell (A&E's "Knights of the South Bronx") has scored a role on the drama pilot, about a federal prosecutor (Sean Bean) who goes undercover as a criminal in order to take down a sprawling underworld organization. He joins the previously cast Reed Diamond and Stana Katic in the 20th Century Fox Television/Flame Television-based project, which Joe Carnahan is directing from a script by creator Dario Scardapane. Tony Krantz, Evelyn O'Neill and Daniel Rappaport also serve as executive producers.

CaBil -- I'm so sorry about your cat! What a sad homecoming.

If the fire was presented in jewels and/or rare metals, it might qualify as formal.

I'm low rent and high tech--LCD.

Pronounciation question: boutique--BOWtique or BOOtique?

Coffee question: How do the standard prep methods stack up? Which is best and which is worst?

So, funny thing this morning. 2 guys from my building's staff were in the elevator and were asking me about the smoking guy. Appparently they all heard the message I left last night. I think they were smirking a little. I laughed out loud when they asked me and told them, "OH! He made me so MAD!".

Today's goal is to not lose my fucking shit with anyone, or as my bff said last night, try not to be one giant hormone.

BOOtique

a federal prosecutor (Sean Bean) who goes undercover as a criminal in order to take down a sprawling underworld organization.

Because so many federal prosecutors and made men have Yorkshire accents.

ita, "boo". "buh", if I'm getting lazy.

Pronounciation question: boutique--BOWtique or BOOtique?

To me, BOOtique seems slightly more snooty/pretentious.

Alan Tudyk:

IN THE SHADOW OF THE LAW (CBS) - Kevin Pollak ("Hostage") is the latest addition to the legal drama pilot, where he'll play a partner at the law firm that's at the center of the series. Joshua Jackson, Jacob Pitts and Alan Tudyk also star in the CBS Paramount Network Television-based hour, which comes from creator Carol Mendelsohn. Danny Cannon directs.

boo.

I am not a coffee snob, so don't know. I drink flavored decaf drip.

Joshua Jackson
