Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Is anyone else watching the new season of The Closer? I had the picky observation that Brenda Lee would look ever so much more authoritative and deserving of respect if she weren't wearing that bright pink trench coat out to crime scenes. She wore it in both episodes so far. I'm glad they've updated her wardrobe but I don't think that coat was a good call.

Kathy, I'm still thinking about your question and trying to come up with examples one way or the other.

I think that it's very Brenda. I mean, you're right, but it's very Brenda.

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

As an owner of a pink trenchcoat, I say go out there and rock your authority and get the work done. Bringing your cat to work, now that's gonna make them think your attention is split.

But Kitty is DYING. What is she to do?

(Imagining Fritz bringing Kitty to work at the FBI. Why don't we get to see THAT? Or Kitty on a stake-out. Really, they could do so much with that aspect of things.)

I've got an old episode of Cold Case on and somebody just talked about moving "upstate" - but they're in Philadelphia and I don't think I've ever heard rural PA called "upstate". Anyone else?

They could be referring to the Poconos as upstate, as that is north of Philly and pretty rural. But I'm from Western Pennsylvania, so I don't know how the easterners refer to their area.

I have never watched House except an odd episode here or ther, but am now TiVoing all episodes that come one. Via an episode guide, I have figured out that I am getting episodes from both this past season and season one. I've even been able to identify a few eps I caught before I started recording. I vaguely remember watching some eps with House getting a gift from a patient, possibly a young woman - drugs perhaps were involved. ring any bells?

Connie, my father's family is from SE PA and I don't recall them using that term either.

Maybe it's a central PA thing. (And therefore still wrong, wrong, wrong for Philly.)

Well, that was a waste. Watched the pilot for Mental and aside from the appearance of having been filmed on videotape, was tired and unintelligent and badly lit (and not in a West Wing/Firefly dark lighting/embracing the shadows way).

I coulda been napping.
