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.
The Lindbergh baby -- the subject of the first research paper I had to do in high school English. Anthony Scaduto's Scapegoat had just come out and was my principal source. Which meant my paper turned into a very impassioned plea that the wrong man was convicted.
I found a copy of Scapegoat in a used bookstore some years later. Still an interesting book.
Did VM start up again, or still in repeats?
Wait..CW hasn't launched yet, has it?
Repeats and no, it hasn't. I think it goes live on the 18th, maybe? I caught up with S1 via Netflix and S2 repeats simulaneously. I've been enjoying it a lot.
Your boss wants to be a matchmaker?
She wants to tell the person she's writing to that she made a good match. Between what, I'm not exactly sure, but maybe between her (boss) and the new job?
I'm awake, and my entire face hurts.
Canker sores?! I'm telling you, cross-country pandemic!
Here's the thing with the Short murder and the Zodiac killings, which I think someone else alluded to in a way: one is an unsolved murder; the other is a notorious murderer. I doubt many people can remember the details of a particular killing by the Zodiac killer, even if they have a passing familiarity with the case. May be a specious distinction but hey, that's my job.

Weirdest name for a shoe.
msbelle, this routinely makes me chuckle: [link]
That and remembering the nephew kvetching about the dark, culminating in a dramatic "I HAVE NO EYES!" but maybe that's amusing to only me.
May be a specious distinction but hey, that's my job.
And my hobby.
My brain is broken. Whenever I read "Zodiac killer" I think of Spinal Tap.

Your version is correct, by the way. It's from the Hebrew word for "match", which is how I know (because I don't speak Yiddish). Also, the same "root" is used for the Hebrew word for a stapler.
[Edited because I kept replacing lerrets]
The CW goes live on September 18, (although wrestling may start sooner). The premier for VM is on October 3.

Stapler, stapler, make me a match....
