On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm watching the most recent CSI, and wow, you people are not kidding about suspension of disbelief.

I loved that Castle. But what an odd accent Castle/Joe the PI was using.

And Alexis/Sally as the killer!

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

The actress playing Alexis is looking way older this season. All her cuddling with Nathan is starting to weird me out, but I'm willing to file that under my issues.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

"He's the cream in my coffee" had me laughing for days. That and Castle trying to get Ryan to say "Boyo" just right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Everybody's accents were hilarious.

What was Castle/Joe's accent supposed to be? A variant on Bronx or something?

Olde timey tough-guy?

Thrive to spite them

I thought he was going for that old style sorta mid Atlantic type accent.

I'm confused about the actual Blue Butterfly. If it was hidden in a brick outside the building how did the murder victim find it?

Also are we supposed to believe that the whole time the mob guy had it was paste? Because I think a 1940s mob guy would know how to get jewelry appraised.

Watching NCIS right now, and...I am not into this show anymore, I guess. It's just striking me as wanky and self-indulgent, when I can see what it's actually going for. My heart's just not where they're aiming.
