I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Can't read the Simon piece right now, because when he gets elegiac(sp?) he can make me cry like a little girl, and we're not talking Broadcast News/pollution Indian single tears, either. It's really ugly. Maybe after five?ETA: Too late. Sniff. But I'm still coherent because Simon was source, not commentator. ETA2: This is really fucking stupid, but I had *no idea* Mills was black. I guess I never saw him, and his name being David instead of, say, Antoine or Terence, made me think "Oh, Jewish ex-journalist"(Not that there's anything wrong with that...he would have matched the other guys in the Pantheon of Daves if he were.) Way to be Part of the Problem, Erika. D'oh.

Lois, I got the In Treatment disks today...thank you.ETA: Also, any of y'all Wirefiends that didn't? Rent "Brick City"...it's like a documentary Wire about Newark. It's awesome.Cory Booker was on Rachel Maddow and they showed clips so I rented the movie...it was very good.

Erika - do you have a Treme source? Do you need one? I'm going to be DVRing it, and I can put it on a DVD.

Not currently, no...would you do that? That would be terrific, Frank. Thank you.

Email my profile address with where I should send it. No problem. The big question - do you need instant grat, or can you wait for maximum volume of episodes on a disc? I'd prefer the latter, but have no problems with the former.

PS - I probably won't check my home email 'til Monday. Ironically, at work. Not fond of being on the computer during off-hours since I'm on it almost 100% at work. Go figure.

I guess more episodes, Frank. Even so, it's better than waiting a whole other year for DVDs to come out. Thanks. Insent, momentarily.

I'll probably split the difference and do four episodes a disc (my DVD recorder does up to 8 hours plus change). So you can probably expect the first disc sometime mid-May.
