Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Given my own re-watch habits -- I will tape Alias and watch 24 live.
*sigh* Sadly, not an option for me at the moment. I could probably get my brother to tape it for me (ALIAS - he doesn't watch 24), but I'd rather see ALIAS live. Plus, much as I enjoy 24, I'm currently much more invested in ALIAS, despite ABC's best(? worst?) efforts, since I've been watching the prior seasons (Yay! I'm almost up to the point in Season 4 where I started watching live!).

Frank, we could probably tape one or the other for you. We don't watch either, but it's easy enough to program the VCR and give you the tape the next morning on the train.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Mmmm....bacon.
Back from court this morning. A few observations:
1. The chick who stole my shit (aka: Thief) was there. She's on a home release program and is wearing an ankle monitor.
2. The State's Attorney offered her a deal of 40 months in jail. She didn't take it. And, indeed looked like she was thinking, "Like hell I'm going to jail." To which I was thinking, "Listen, bitch. You stole my shit. You're so going to jail." So, we're going to trial.
3. The judge was much nicer than the judges on tv.
4. The detective gave me a Sam's card with all my info on it and her picture so that I could cancel the account. I'm on hold with them now.
5. It's FREAKY seeing a driver's license with all your information on it and someone else's picture. Much cognitive dissonance.
6. The detective handling my case is SMOKIN' HOTT! Dear me.

NZ is all about sneaking pork into/onto things. My DH doesn't eat pork or mix milk & meat. He'd ask if anything came on the steak he was ordering that wasn't listed on the menu, the server would say "no" and it would come wrapped in bacon, or smothered in a butter/cream sauce.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's so crazy, ChiKat. Hot detective = awesome. Cops I've interacted with have been more on the Sipowicz side of things.

Ham biscuit = yum, but I can imagine the surprise not being a good thing.

Wow, ChiKat! I'm glad you get to look at a hot detective while you put the bitch away.
(eta: the fact that she's wearing an ankle monitor makes me unreasonably happy)

Sweet! For some reason I thought you had a different option for recording shows. No idea why. I'll let you know when I know the definitive dates (and I'll get a tape to you the next time I see you).

I can't even.
Lately I'm all about the savory, and thanks to all y'all I am now jonesing bad for a cheddar cheese scone. Which the campus fancy-pastry place stopped selling a few months ago. Mournful now.
I hate change like that. When I finally find something about a place that I like, I get all discombobulated when they yank it out from under me, like a formerly yummy carpet.
