Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You mean I have to refile the baboons? You know how messy that's gonna be????
Your failure to believe the truth doesn't make it less true.
It's not a factual issue. If your rules don't trap, then a discussion of what it's like to be trapped by them is a very short one indeed. Since there's nothing to say.
That's my whole and entire point.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

They're not even a single genus. The gelada baboons get their own genus, and there's the Mandrillus genus out on its own too.

Messier and messier! Where can I file the South African ones that are attacking humans? That's the most pressing issue.

Hey, I managed to score avi files of the first two seasons of Hustle this weekend. I think I may glut myself on them on Monday.

Oh, very nice. I need to work out what I've seen and what I haven't. I think it's been a mishmash.
Look at that! It's bedtime, and I even finished the work I had to do (and then some) in the half hour I've been home.
Now, if only I can find my pyjama pants, I can go to sleep.
And so begins the great adventure.

House: So what have we learned about Dr. Gregory House? He's had that bit about the dissociative coma fixing his leg mulling in the depths of his mind, he has weird dominance fantasies about Cameron--why else would he put up with her, though I'm still not sure why she puts up with him--he expects Chase to be able to replace him, Foreman is Foreman, and his family is Cuddy and Wilson. Which we knew. Oh, and he does feel some regret for things that happen.
Fascinating episode, because every darn thing is a clue to House's psyche. I'm curious to see what the shooter's real motive is and if House does end up with the psychological side effects. Interesting how he convinced himself that his team could be trusted to keep him from hurting anyone so that the treatment might be worth it. I didn't suspect the true depths of the imaginary world until poor "Harpo's" ailments became more and more grotesque--which serves as an illustration of how deeply House fears losing control of his diagnostic abilities and what will happen to people if he cracks.
Gosh, wow, and hooray for reruns over the summer. Hugh Laurie better damned well get a boat load of acting awards.

In researching this issue (they're probably Chacma baboons, or Papio ursinus, or bearboons, as I've decided to call them), I discovered that during the Napoleonic Wars, a monkey from a French warship washed up at Hartlepool and was hanged. The article states "It is unclear if the people of Hartlepool knew that it was a monkey or were merely confused as to what Frenchmen looked like." The mascot of the local football club is a monkey named H'Angus.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think that all of McCrane's characters should be killed by vengeful helicopters.
I can't believe no one mentioned being beheaded by an ambulance.
The Alias finale cause a shuffle in my taping and I failed to get 24. Is there one more week, or was that it?
