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 does need to be lunchtime.
I'm going to die of boredom today. I will die and be dead. I just thought I should warn you.
Yeah, but that means I've been in work for seven and a half hours already.
I'd have sympathy and stuff, but I have six hours to go, and objectively I think that's worse.
On the other hand, this morning I walked past a filming location about a block from my apartment and thought I should start watching again just for that.
That's so funny, because they also film about a block away from me.

The drugs he's on knock him out and play with his memory, plus he's on three different mood alterers to counteract the depressive side effects of the pain pills.
Hello yes. Not something one wants to be nodding in acknowledgement of, but there you go.
It's fair to say those two episodes were not realistic-- just using the law firm construct for a drama that could be anywhere.
Interesting. It's definitely a psychological game above all else, but to my untrained eye Glenn Close oozes the image of a sharklike TV lawyer.
ita! Great head news!
The sugar article didn't mention the whole Cuban embargo thing. I wonder how big a factor that is (some people seem to think its considerable)
On Prison Break: I was getting skeeved by/tired of all the relentless brutality and they nearly lost me. But then Michael went all MacGuyver for me and its all better now.

Pretty amazing - fighting giraffe style mostly consists of whacking one's head against one's opponent. There's a loud 'thud' every time this happens.
Trudy - I'm with you on the Prison Break stuff. Now, Michael needs to deal with the sewer system.
More Ninja thievery: Return of Staten Island's Ninja Burglar
A Todt Hill couple's home was broken into by the infamous Ninja Burglar last night. The craziest part: The wife ran into him. The Staten Island Advance reports that Mary Ann Carlo bumped into the intruder. Carlo said, "I started screaming, 'The Ninja is here! The Ninja! The Ninja!'" The Advance has the details AND gets a plug:
At about 10:30 p.m., Mrs. Carlo turned off the television and headed downstairs toward the bedroom, where her husband was already asleep.
That's when she encountered a white male of medium build, clad all in black.
"I knew it was the Ninja Burglar from reading the Advance and not my husband playing some trick," she said.
The masked man didn't say a word when she happened upon him, and he didn't seem to be armed, she said. The two stood nose to nose for a brief moment, before she yelled and he took off.
She and her husband called 911 and left the house. Soon after, the cops "locked down" the neighborhood and used a helicopter to attempt to find the burglar but were unsuccessful. The Ninja Burglar has robbed at least 14 other homes. Two weeks ago, one homeowner stabbed the intruder but he still got away.
In the bedroom, Carlo found some of her jewelry on her jewelry box (the Ninja was in the room while her husband was sleeping!) and police say some of the missing jewelry was found in the driveway. The NYPD, which formed a "Ninja Burglar" task force," says that the crime "definitely" fit the Ninja Burglar pattern. All told, homeowners have seen him in six of the robberies.
And what's more, it's believed that he robbed a home in Oakwood after the attempt on the Carlos' house.
No mention of whether the Ninja threw a smoke bomb onto the ground before making his escape....
I heard about that burglar all damn weekend, and it seems like the ninja moniker is simply because he wears a hood or something like that. He also got stabbed and yet, still robs. So maybe he is a ninja.
Sumi, on Prison Break I'm confused how the big explosion brought water. The guards had shut it off and Michael broke the valve? Won't they just shut it off again higher up the line?
