They have argued in and out of court that it violates their "deeply held" religious beliefs, and that the church-run facility does not have to obtain permits.

I had no idea it was possible to have deeply held religious beliefs about building permits.

You must be as untemptable as a 38th-level sage. Water water all around and not a drop to drink...

Its just a wiring thing -- I almost never find the married or even the well-taken attractive in an immediate sense. Brad though would make me head tilt during a conversation.

Sophia, you're experienced. That's a GOOD thing. That's not old.

If you can do one of those shoots you should. Likely as not you could get some 'ffista to put you up almost anywhere in the country if they weren't offering to. (You've certainly got new york covered)

And I think you're clearly using your talents. You might want to explore new avenues of doing so is all. And just explore -- you don't need to make any life-altering decisions before you go work on a project or two.

I have deeply-held religious beliefs that building permits are evil things foisted upon us by the Space Clams.

I had muesli and soy milk instead. It was a surprisingly good substitute.

I have a friend who has deeply held beliefs about building permits. - as in you should get them after the fact . Sadly, the city knows him. So they look extra hard at his work. Happily, he is good at what he does , and they have to get really fussy to find anything. Someday, a new restaurant will be born in town .

The only thing to watch out for with Hustle is that not all the repeats are letterboxed, so make sure and watch the Saturday airings or you'll risk getting the pan-n-scan version. (All 12 eps are also ahemable.)

also, (they may have changed this) the first several episodes did not have unique descriptors, so Tivo would record several versions of the same ep because it had no way to distinguish them. That changed after a while, so they may have changed it for this running.

I think I have two copies of the second episode of Heist for similar stupid tagging reasons. I am so about descriptive metadata, you have no idea.

What happens when a man covered in microphones walks into a room covered with speakers? Feedback. Lots of it.

Heh. It actually sounded cooler than I thought it would. Plus, it alarmed my cat.

Okay, see that last car chase in Heist? No way he could make it to LAX via surface streets in the time implied by the script. If only.

Huh. Hustle, Thief, Heist? What's up with the bad boys?

Johanna was telling me earlier today that when... um... one of the above was starting, the reaction was, "Wow, what a great idea for a show! Why aren't more people doing that?" And then, suddenly, everyone was. (I assume she got this factoid from EW, or something similar.)

I just emailed Joe Bob, because I have problems. But maybe he'll call me 'hon' and make me feel better.
