Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Hey, you can have her. I just couldn't stand seeing a character I'd grown up with as a fairly strong portrayl of womanhood--whether that was accurate or not, I don't know, and it's not really important to me--made into a fool. A fairly pathetic fool that I had no sympathy for.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
SA, GF and I felt the exact same way about her at first. Now? Love the Jane! GF even said at some point, "How do they do that?" in terms of making us end up really liking a character that we initially had no use for. This also became true of Al. At first, we were so disgusted by him as to make it unpleasant to watch. He wasn't a "love to hate" character. But again that has changed. He is still gross and mean as all get out, but a much more interesting (and fucking funny) one.

I love Jane, but at first I was disappointed too. I forgot because RW so blew me away with her portrayal. I still love to hate Swergin sometimes, but in a different way...feel some sympathy now.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Been away for a while, so I have to say something controverial and divisive. I think that is a rule, right?
Calamity Jane, the historical figure, was in fact a drunk. So were a whole slew of male American historical figures, Western and otherwise. George Washington fell off his perfectly stationary horse, during some incredibly important battle, I recall reading. Or maybe that was Grant. Anyway, one of those President guys.
That is my Deadwood lurve. History was made by people at least as screwed up as me.

Hey, erikaj! I have been in the hospital, again ... a place that has crappy cable. Just caught up with my PVR on the last few Wire s.
Marlo is showing some serious young-blood tendencies. Nail-gunning a dude for talking back, and all.

Weeds has almost stopped working. The act breaks are seven days long, with insufficient suspense/anticipation to carry me across the gap.
Bad sign.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Sorry about the hspital stay, Gus. Hope the fact that you are out means you feel chipper. Or at least chipper-ish.
