We watched DSM last night. Soapy dramas aren't so much my thing, but if it continues to be funny, I will watch sporadically. The first couple scenes turned me off, but then they made it back with some good stuff, like the sequence with the ring tones ending with the yacht. Also, the priest is a lot more bearable if you think of him as GOB.
Buffy: I was regrouping. Spike: You were about to be regrouped into separate piles.

Natter 54: Right here, dammit.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did anyone watch Cane?
Don't let it be said that TV isn't informative. I had no idea until hearing the premise from the show that the US had a sizable sugar cane industry. For some reason I thought it was all about the beet sugar.
bon, have you watched Damages at all? Sparky? Lee? Vortex? They're spending a lot of slow time inside a law firm, and I was wondering how they were handling it. Of course, if you cast Glenn Close you're hardly going to be spending time with fuzzy humanitarianism, but even as an outlier...
Plus Tate Donovan is no longer playing Worst Dad Ever (can't you just see HRG and SpyDaddy hauling him off and beating the snot out of him?).

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Shrift, which space is that show in? Is it the one straight ahead from the lobby doors?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Damn, I don't think I realized that was what Cane was about. My father grew up in Hawaii's cane sugar industry. They used to run around the fields and play in the flumes and chew on the raw sugar cane. From the looks of the pr material, it isn't intended to be a nostalgic romp, but I might have tuned in if I'd paid any attention. Other than Colbert cracking himself up at the ads.

It's supposed to be Dallas but with cane instead of oil. I heard things like the family conflict (I suspect Smits is playing JR, but hot) is between sugar and versus production.

I watched Cane. So far, it's feeling a lot like Kingpin without the DEA.

I watched Cane. It's got great actors - I think it should be pretty decent if they can tear themselves away from the Godfather.

Using advanced techniques such as Web spidering, link analysis, content analysis, authorship analysis, sentiment analysis and multimedia analysis, Chen and his team can find, catalogue and analyze extremist activities online.
Okay, I know this was yesterday and all, but I just wanted to weigh in on this, cause if they can manage Web-based authorship analysis, I want they should TELL ME. Cause that's what my Master's project was about, and I had zero luck with it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I had no idea until hearing the premise from the show that the US had a sizable sugar cane industry.
It's a lot bigger than it deserves to be, because it's heavily subsidized by the government.

I had forgotten your topic! Sorry to hear it didn't pan out the way you wanted.
I have had the phrase "degrade gracefully" stuck in my head since yesterday, and I've now worked out both why (my eye makeup degrades gracefully--crying doesn't mess it up, or at least does it with symmetry), and where it's from (HTML). Being a geek can be hard.
