ita, I just finished watching that ep and said to myself...before the credits mind you... "Huh. That looks like Roger Daltrey. Good on him for the acting job having. Boy I liked him in Highlander. Hey, why would they make a disguise look so cheesy, isn't this the show with mondo effects budget?

I seriously thought I was stream of consciousness riffing until I saw the credit.

My next assumption was that the character wanted to get caught...thus the bad disguises. Which turned to be true.

I'm afraid my beloved CSI is getting a bit tatty around the edges.

My mother was very good to us (and always is), but the living together thing is not ideal. I need solitude. Big time. I pretty much had none while she was here, and I didn't want her to feel like she had to stay out of my or our way. I wanted her to feel like she had a home. She was wanting her own place, and not finding anything, and there were a couple of times where it was extra hard. The kids adored having her here, and I'm so lucky she and Scott get along extraordinarily well. She was never any trouble, but it was stressful for all of the adults.

I'm fucking old, you know? Bear with me, especially if you're older than me. 37 feels too fucking old to have those snitty fights with freaking parents.

Yet? I still do.

And I'm the calm one, I swear. Well, the calm one that isn't my father.

Unrelatedly, this EP of CSI was really dumb.

This, Beej. And the descriptions of the Daltry ep are not improving my mood or opinion about the current season. I wonder if Bill Peterson is unhappy about it, too. He's consistently been one of the big champions of the show, and it's use of (mostly) sound science. He was pretty unhappy about the spinoffs (they diluted the uniqueness of the show), so I can't imagine he's happy about the show going off the rails.

He probably still likes the paychecks, though.

Isn't Liev Schreiber doing episodes in the latter part of the season in Bill Peterson's place?

Oooh! I hadn't heard that, bon. I'll be interested to see those, as I like Liev Schriber, but I suspect the show will never again be what it once was.

That's what I read, bon.

Seriously, my mother's 61 and still doing it.

I feel the same way, ita, once you add four years. I know my mother isn't going to change, and what things are likely to set her off, and yet, I always end up arguing with her.

My comment re: CSI - Roger Daltry canna do accents, poor dear .

Add two to ita, and subtract two from Lee, and it's the same here, too. What kills me is that my mother and her mother did not get on each others' nerves, so I always feel at fault.
