And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Theo, I think that the rule is that you can mention that a particular actor has been cast in a series, but not the role. So, think that your news would be whitefont.

True Blood: OK, this is stupid, but it made me sad that lawyer lady said "they sell anti-glamour contacts at the Walgreens" and not "K&B". Oddly enough, I don't think it would have pinged me if she'd said "Walmart".

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

K & B? Don't even know what that is.

ION, I've been taping the Leftovers but hadn't seen any up until tonight. On a whim I watched tonight's episode (I figure if it's compelling, it will be compelling if I have to go back and catch up). It definitely held my interest but boy howdy this may be the least fun show I've seen in a great while. It makes True Detective look like Friends I swear.

Is Walgreens not prevalent in northern Louisiana? It is here in Arkansas and in western Tennessee.

It is, I think. I just miss K&B.

Ann, that's a ferret.

K & B? Don't even know what that is.

K&B was the big local drug store chain in New Orleans. Their shopping bags were dark purple. A shade I still think of as "K&B purple."

Sad to hear that they got swallowed up.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I think that K&B closed just before I moved to New Orleans, but a bunch of the other drugstores that took over their locations kept the purple shopping carts.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

The Leftovers is total depression porn TV. I've been watching it and while it holds my attention, I don't enjoy the show at all.

I can't with True Blood. All the way done. I want them all to die now. Except LaLa. He can survive. And maybe Jason because he's pretty and there was that one time when he was made of awesome.

I might care about Tara's weird afterlife thing? I'm not sure.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm studying LaLa for fashion tips. Everything else is stupid.
