Dougray Scott's accent in Heist is really cool. Surely wouldn't peg him as a foreigner.
You wouldn't? I've never heard him speak his natural accent, and yet I said to myself, Self, this guy is as Scottish a Scotsman as ever failed to wear underwear on a blowy day. His vowels wandered from Edinburgh to the Hebrides, with occasional detours to stereotypical Brooklynese.
I didn't read the Strega Nona books when I was little, either. But I did grow up under the vague impression that "strega" was Italian for "grandma."
Woof. Where did my weekend go? Baseball, bicycle fenders, and fanfic.
Okay, there have been worse weekends.
Also, have just discovered that baaaing at kitty like a lamb causes him to stop biting my ankles.
but this is not necessarily true, as my boss at the opera got tapped to be the costume supervisor for General Hospital at 42 (and she won an emmy!)
Does she have a staff there? I'm just saying. You already have Connections!
Crap -- I accidentally got into the OMG-I-should-be-asleep-already place, so now I'm nervous, and even less likely to sleep. Bah. Will lie in bed anyway.
Dougray sounds like a mess of stuff right now, but no, I'd not have pegged him as Scottish.
I loved the
Steve McQueen
lookalike moment--I'm assuming that was a
Thomas Crowne
shoutout.
Sophia that is great! And you are NOT old.
Bradley Whitford is not only married, they are friends of a friend.
You must be as untemptable as a 38th-level sage. Water water all around and not a drop to drink...
I am mad at myself because I eventually had a nap. I don't have little naps. A nap lasts a sleep cycle for me which means 3 hours. I really needed to do more telecommute work today and I don't have enough hours left to do it in plus I'd rather be doing other stuff. This "work at home" stuff might be hard to manage.
Heist totally .... I like the pilot. I'ma stick around.
ita, I would also highly recommend that you check out Hustle on AMC. I think that it's even better. They've actually just started rerunning the series, it's on Saturdays at 10.
Huh. Hustle, Thief, Heist? What's up with the bad boys?
This "work at home" stuff might be hard to manage.
Never underestimate the power and danger that is the nap.
I was working from home when I was pregnant and on bedrest.
"Working" all too frequently became "drooling into pillow with eyes closed and with hands still on keyboard."
dont' know, but I love it. I have Thief Tivoed, haven't watched it yet.
I'm used to a kind of work that allows for (non-work) multi-tasking. I didn't used to be ADD, but I think the Internet has made me so. Unfortunately, the kind of work I'm doing requires concentration and less Internet distraction. Damn its hide.
