Mr. Jane, now finding out what it's like to be enamoured of a show, pointed me at this. I offer it to y'all sara, sumi, juliana, shrift and the rest [link] .
ETA: Also, please note where in the paper it is. Sports.

From DJ's link:
Friday Night Lights is about high school football in the same way that Moby Dick was about whale hunting.
So true.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Moby Dick's not about the whale? Bad PR, then.
Damn, I should have been sleeping. But I watched ep 5 of Life On Mars (that ending was major deja vu for me, sufficient to make it creepy--I must have seen it somewhere else).
Hec might want to watch this clip all the way through to the end.

DJ, that's awesome and hilarious! And it's my paper! I never read the sports section, so I totally missed it. Which is amusing. Hey, my HS won state last year. Like I knew at the time. Hell, it had a good chance at state while I was there and attending games (and not giving a shit and certainly not getting shakey in the last 10 seconds.) I didn't care. But FNL? I cared. And I hate football.

So apparently the snowpocalypse decided block our satellite signal tonight, and I just discovered that my TiVo did not record Friday Night Lights.
Universe? I would like to show you my bitchface.

I have a window open browsing the Perv Mart and I'm not sure how I got there.
And I'm scared to look at my browser's history and find out I'm a naughty person.
I'll go to krav instead.

ita, of course you are a naughty person. have you seen the links you've posted?
I have surgical tape to remove. 8 more strips. I'm doing them in batches of 5. but really, I should just suck it up and remove all 8 then take 3 vicodin.

Oh, wait--before I go--I'm toying with cutting off the blond and dying my hair burgundy. I'm not too concerned with trueness of colour (perhaps I mean truth) because I don't want it to stand out too much. My hair takes bleaching very well--will most standard burgundy jobbie doos include much bleach as a first step?
Curious minds need to know.

Awww, ita's got my back.
I just read that in one of the gossip weeklies the other day.
She'll look beautiful, of course.
As much as I don't like Halle as Storm, I have to say she earns points for daring on things like this and showing up to receive her own Razzie. I love it when people are game.
