Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Saudi Women Push for Right to Drive

Conservatives, who believe women should be shielded from strange men, say women in the driver's seat will be free to leave home alone and go when and where they please. They also will be able to unduly expose their eyes while driving and interact with strange men such as traffic police and mechanics.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

The one thing that kinda bothered me when listening to the preview on NPR was that they seemed to be throwing in words to give it New Orleans flavor. The guy was saying he needed to go get gumbo to think-of course it was just one line, but it seemed so clumsy.

I was encouraged to hear that it's being filmed down there rather than just the exteriors and lots of the crew are locals.

sounds like an episode of The Office.

Oh yeah, lots of "fun activities" Friday we get to wear jerseys. Seriously, just kill me.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I wasn't tempted by the previews of K-Ville and I am very turned off by the reviews. An abundance of cop cliches and a lack of New Orleans flavor.

es. I rather expect to hate it, but we'll see.

me too. I'm only watching it because my cable hasn't been hooked up yet, so my options are . . . limited.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, Daisy.

You know that thing where people misspell your name in an email that has your name in it? I just got that with another word. I replied to an email saying, "Please make sure to use the correct spelling of [odd COMPany NaMe]," and she wrote back saying, "Oh yeah, I always get [ODD comPany Name] wrong." Yeah, and you DID IT AGAIN JUST THERE. Seriously, people.

Always Anti-fascist!

It does sound B-A-N_A_N-A-S, DJ. I think I read that Simon's doing his first Non-Balmer TV about NOLA, after "The Wire". Or maybe it's George Pelecanos. ETA: Either way, they'll get it, I think.

Thank you for that very necessary reality check. That puts my life right back into perspective, oh yes it does.

I always get an extraneous h. The most ridic has been when they start the reply right AFTER my sig:

For me it's Kristin/Kristen. I know it's only one letter, but it bugs me too.

Our wings are not tired

I am always stunned when people ask me to spell my first name.

I'm even more stunned when I see it spelled wrong.

This is not as uncommon as it should be.
