It wasn't the manliness of the facial hair -- it just made him look similar to someone else, though I can't think of who.

I keep having to remind myself it's Eddie Izzard and not Ricky Gervais (though it's RG in my memory from the very few episodes of The Office I've seen and not from Extras ).

I also saw Raines last night, and it reminded me just how much I enjoy Jeff Goldblum's off-kilter delivery. Plus, he's a detective, and my first exposure to JG was Tenspeed & Brownshoe (which was also, along with Quark, my first exposure to having a show cancelled out from under me way too soon), so I feel almost nostalgic watching it. Mainly, it shows potential, but they need to beef up the supporting charcters a lot (though they dropped one or two things that could pan out later).

Okay! So apparently a dude was murdered in the building behind ours, and three hot Homicide Detectives came by to question everyone in our apartment building, and I missed it all because I was at the bar.

Er. Not to make the loss of human life all about me, or anything.

Damn.

Maybe they'll come back.

(Have you noticed that when the FBI is doing background checks they send the hot young agents?)

Random pretty stuff to look at....

Fantastic Gemstones

Closeups of cross-sections of semi-precious stones. The first picture confused me - at first I thought it was a high-altitude photo of farmland that had been cut in circular patterns.

Specifically, to the Galactica spoilers that I'm definitely not looking at.

Ah! That would explain all the new people in the Spoiler thread.

(Could you link me back to the Ellis page, though? I'm trying to keep track of where those spoilers have been posted.)

I enjoyed Raines, but I adore Jeff Goldbum. And "Gwen" did a really good job as the murder victim, too.

How much trouble would you be in if you covered yourself with fake blood and acted really suspicious around them?

The last time there was a murder near where I lived was when I was living in Minneapolis - there were four murders within a block of where I lived during the 3 1/2 years I lived there. However, all the murders were of people the killers knew, and were all drug and/or gang related.

ION apparently someone has loosed a pack of howler monkeys (aka my cow-orkers who were apparently raised in a zoo) in the men's room. Ugh.

This should work -- you'll have to login as a guest to see the post, I think. But they didn't repost anything that I saw, just linked directly to a post here. [link]

At this point? I think they'd be worried about my mental state. And I pretty much have a solid alibi for all of yesterday. Although I probably should hold off on the stabbing jokes for a few days.
