Apparently, there's an app called "Burner" that gives you a disposable area code that you can phonebank in different states and seem like a local. It made me think "That Techie is a wirefiend," but the people I said it to didn't get it.

erika,

I bookmarked that app. I might need it someday.

In last season Dexter, I thought it was obvious, because we never saw EJO in a frame with anyone except CH. I was looking for things like that, true, but doesn't everyone?

I'm working my way through this season's Dexter. Also just read (listened to) the recent book Double Dexter. The author Jeff Lindsay does his own audio and he's so freaking good! It makes me wish they hadn't killed off Rita in the tv show. She's alive and well in the books and such a great character and foil. Oh well. In the books, Deb has known for years about Dexter, so on the show, it's like, finally, catch up already.

The Big C, Victor Garber and all the swearing are gone, so that's good. I am not usually bothered by swearing and I do it myself; there was just something about that episode that bothered me. Too much of it in literal classrooms, way too unreal, it made the episode a caricature. There is no way Cathy wouldn't have been fired right there.

Homeland is amazing still. The thing that went down in the tailor shop? HSQ off the charts!

Is anyone watching the show with Don Cheadle and Kristen Bell? I watched one or two and it didn't grab me. There's just not enough time - I'd rather watch The Good Wife or Parenthood. There are a gazillion ads for it before any SHO episode, plus Don Cheadle is in the movie Flight, characteristically excellent as always. I want to be supportive of any show with him and KB but... hard to find the time.

Speaking of The Good Wife, it seems to be the best place on tv for totally awesome guest spots. Here's who I want to see: Christine Lahti, and Rene Russo. They are both so good, always! I know CL is doing a bunch of voice over ads now but that's not the same thing. And where the heck did RR go? IMDB says she hasn't done anything since 2005. Get out there RR!

I loved Victor Garber on the Big C! I wish his character had stuck around longer.

House of Lies? I also love it; it is so very wrong in all the right ways.
