Is anyone else watching Brothers and Sisters? So far it's my fave of the new shows. It's like a mix of Six Feet Under (minus the bodies and f-bombs) and Thirtysomething with a really great exploration of a complicated family dynamic.
There were a lot of things I liked about it, but I realized after a couple of episodes I was never going to get over my dislike of Calista Flockhart. And with The Nine, Ugly Betty, Friday Night Lights, and Studio 60 all still in play, something had to go.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Which CI is this? I forget.
The one where the killer rigs the subway non-turnstile entrance thing (what's that called?) so the guy gets stuck in it, and then stuck in the neck!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Well, it's about time.
I did not know there were English teachers who couldn't diagram a sentence.
Can someone explain how the new SAT scores work? I'm irritated that mine are now meaningless. I need those numbers, people.

I have an English Degree and I have never diagrammed a sentence. I don't even know what diagramming a sentence means.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
We diagrammed sentences when I was in elementary school, which was the early 70s. I think it went away shortly after that. I never studied grammar in high school at all.
