Seeing all those noirish trailers made me think I'm a demographic for my birthday. The Short case is famous because of the Hollywood thing, the fact that she was sexy , and, you know the mutilation and the good Midwestern girl turned sometime hooker thing I think Ellroy thinks that guy killed his mother, too. Anyone who wants to start reading true-crime should read Homicide: A Year On The Killing Streets. It surpasses any other true crime book I've read, ever.

Murder in Hawaii? How about the Massie case?

If there are no Lost castmembers involved, I just don't care.

I don't know if black babies and their hair has any relevance...wait, no, I think it doesn't because I was noted for not having much hair (it was really just a giant mutant forehead) and I'm sure I had as much or more than Suri at three months. We did have one cousin who popped out with one hell of a fro--they combed her hair about once a month, because it was way too stressful to do normally. I'm not sure why they just didn't cut it.

From Entertainment Weekly's review of last night's House:

Taking a backseat to House's self-analysis this week are the Scooby Gang.

Methinks I spy, with my little eye, a Buffy fan.

Liv's just a little bit older than Suri, and she still doesn't have that much hair.

I do think Suri resembles Tom more than Katie. But I've found that to be very, very subjective.

and enjoy a midnight frolic in the university fountain. (It's no Colin Firth lake dive, but it'll do.)

Bwah!

I think she's the spit of Katie. Same weird droopy eyes.

Hey, peeps. I ahve only just caught up enough to announce: today is flea's birthday!

Also, serial murderers are always fascinating, although possibly not what flea would like discussed on her Special Day. Three days hence, you may certainly talk all the Boston Strangler talk you want!!

Woot! Happy Birthday, flea!

I was born with a lot of black hair that didn't fall out. It was noted as unusual by the family.

True crime is too likely to have me up all night rechecking that the doors are locked and jumping at "strange" sounds for me to read it with any regularity. Which is too bad, because it's really interesting, but I just can't handle the truth, you know?

House season premier was a little disappointing. i like running, skateboarding House who pushes doors open with boxes now that he doesn't have a cane, but Cuddy and Wilson being all "He needs to learn 'No'" annoyed me. All of a sudden it's more important that you condition and socialise him than that you get the benefit of his diagnostic intuition? If this is all meant to imply that if he's not physically damaged he'd not magic any more, it's too subtle for me.

Loved that vicodin is a substitute for solving the puzzle, though.

Happy birthday, flea!

Yeah, Jen, I think she was a newscaster? Something in the public eye, anyway, and had a "coming out" type thing about her hands.
