oy ... my office is JUST outside the security perimeter in downtown DC. Gridlock as far as the eye can see (when the streets are open, otherwise, they're empty except for a motorcade). Wishing everyone a safe trip home very, very soon.

Yeah, please don't get killed. (One person has already today, apparently.)

I'm heading to Sephora to pick that stuff up tomorrow. Though I shouldn't, given the obscene amounts of money I've been spending recently.

FYI: Law & Order: UK is available on dvd exclusively at Target.

I'm guessing that's exclusively in region 1.

Castle's only halfway through, but I have to express my complete delight that we're getting Esposito backstory!!!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!

Esposito called Castle his partner.

DED from the cute.

That ep had me tearing up at the end with the happy ending and all.

And I loved how everyone had everyone else's back! And Esposito called Castle his other partner! And Beckett actually fights like a real trained cop would, and not like Buffy at the punching bag!!

Oh, and finally, confirmation that there is a pool going at the station over when Castle and Beckett are going to hook up.

A very bromantic episode of Castle, I must say.

In unrelated portions of the ep, Castle may regret teaching Alexis what poker face is.

Beckett needed to keep her chin down when she worked the bag.

That opening scene was hot.

DED from the cute.

This.

And Ryan is a COMPLETE WOOBIE.

I loved that I got to see Michael Ironsides, who may be longer in the tooth but is still sexay...and Scott Cohen on my screen at the same time.

Casting like that reminds me of when radio stations do 'deep cuts', where they go back and showcase the good stuff we may have overlooked.

I'm glad to see those guys working.
